  • 构建能量加权方向特征的熵最大闭包模型,保持旋转协变性。
  • 五参数模型在981个场景中胜过存储的QZH方案78.7%,均方误差降15.8%。
  • 适用于强方向性光照场景,尤其适合需要零负值的渲染应用。

我们研究如何对由非负蒙特卡洛路径样本构成的角能量信号进行压缩与重建,以用于辐照度计算。将每个样本表示为能量加权方向特征 $x = r u$,采用总能量(一阶方向矩)、迹为零的二阶矩共 $1+3+5$ 个线性可加且旋转协变的统计量。在固定勒贝格参考测度下,最大熵闭包导出 $p(r,u) /propto \\( \exp(-βr g(u))$,其中 $g(u) = 1 - b \cdot u + u^T Q u$,其方向概率与角能量密度分别正比于 $g^{-3}$ 与 $g^{-4}$。当 $g_{\min} > 0$ 时,闭包可归一化且重建结果严格为正。我们进一步提供纯偶极子四参数子族的解析矩匹配、方差、逆采样及闭合形式漫反射响应,以及偶极子-二阶矩共轴五参数子族的可实现域、配分函数、方位角代数积分与查表式重建形式。实验涵盖981个Poly Haven HDRI 2K场景与三个Debevec探针。五参数最大熵在每场景胜率上达78.7%优于存储的QZH,平均亮度均方误差降低15.8%;在强方向性场景中优势更明显。两种最大熵模型在所有场景中均维持零负辐照度。完整二阶球谐函数SH-2整体误差最低,五参数最大熵次之,并在高方向性组中超越SH-2;共轴子族在非共轴多光源场景中显示系统性闭包误差。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We study how angular energy signals composed of non-negative Monte Carlo path samples can be compressed and reconstructed for irradiance using finite moments. Writing each sample as an energy-weighted directional feature $x = r u$, we adopt total energy, the first directional moment, and the traceless second moment as $1+3+5$ linearly additive, rotationally covariant statistics. Under a fixed Lebesgue reference measure, the maximum-entropy closure yields $p(r,u) \propto \exp(-βr g(u))$, where $g(u) = 1 - b \cdot u + u^T Q u$, whose directional probability and angular energy density are proportional to $g^{-3}$ and $g^{-4}$, respectively. When $g_{\min} > 0$ the closure is normalizable and the reconstruction is strictly positive. We further provide analytic moment matching, variance, inverse sampling, and closed-form diffuse response for the pure-dipole four-parameter subfamily, as well as the realizability domain, partition function, azimuthal algebraic integral, and LUT-oriented reconstruction form for the dipole-second-moment coaxial five-parameter subfamily. Experiments cover 981 Poly Haven HDRI 2K scenes and three Debevec probes. Five-parameter MaxEnt achieves a 78.7% per-scene win rate against stored QZH, with mean luminance RMSE reduced by 15.8%; the advantage is more pronounced in scenes with strong directionality. Both MaxEnt variants maintain zero negative irradiance across all scenes. Full second-order SH-2 yields the lowest overall error, while five-parameter MaxEnt ranks second and outperforms SH-2 in the high-directionality bucket; the coaxial subfamily shows systematic closure error on non-coaxial multi-source scenes.
