Abstract:
Realtime rendering requires accurate display of a dynamic scene with minimal delay. Frameless rendering [Bishop et al. 1994] offers unique flexibility in this regard: because it samples time per pixel, it can respond to change with very little delay, and at any location in the image. However, sampling is random, resulting in blurring in changing image regions. We present an approach for improving frameless rendering by making sampling sensitive to change in the image, as suggested in [Bishop et al. 1994]. By measuring this change in visual terms, we are able to direct sampling to those regions of change. The resulting algorithm produces sharper imagery, while introducing minimal overhead into the standard frameless algorithm.
