Abstract

The synthesis of the 3D images is the most important part of the virtual reality. The photon mapping is the best method for reality in the 3D graphics. This paper presents an architecture for photon mapping applications on SOC devices. The proposed architecture reduces the computation time to photonmap search and radiance estimation. Also this architecture is implemented by a SIMD processor which trades parallelism for frequency of operation.
