Error analysis of estimators that use combinations of stochastic sampling strategies for direct illumination (2014)
Journal Article
Subr, K., Nowrouzezahrai, D., Jarosz, W., Kautz, J., & Mitchell, K. (2014). Error analysis of estimators that use combinations of stochastic sampling strategies for direct illumination. Computer Graphics Forum, 33(4), 93-102. https://doi.org/10.1111/cgf.12416

We present a theoretical analysis of error of combinations of Monte Carlo estimators used in image synthesis. Importance sampling and multiple importance sampling are popular variance-reduction strategies. Unfortunately, neither strategy improves the...
