Manifold Next Event Estimation

We present manifold next event estimation (MNEE), a specialised technique for Monte Carlo light transport simulation to render refractive caustics by connecting surfaces to light sources (next event estimation) across transmissive interfaces. We employ correlated sampling by means of a perturbation...
