by shocker_0x15] [MIS BPT with Russian Roulette] Wayback!Hello.
Now, I'm implementing Veach-style BPT.
And I could get a result which converge to the reference image generated by using path tracing.
But this is only in case that I don't use Russian roulette in BPT.
For debugging BPT, of course I checked the equality between PT and BPT's unweighted contributions with respect to each path length.
For example, the result of each
- 1 bounce light transport by [reference PT] and [s=0, t=3], [s=1, t=2] are the same, (Now I consider only the pinhole camera model, t<=1 paths are not considered)
- 2 bounce light transport by [reference PT] and [s=0, t=4], [s=1, t=3], [s=2, t=2] are the same,
- 3 bounce ...
...
But I say again, these results are gotten only if I don't use Russian roulette.
Of course, I know that it is required that the probability for generating a adjacent vertex in MIS weight computations contain RR continuation probability.
Would anyone give me some suggestions ?
I attached three images that only represent 2 bounce transport, the first is the reference by PT, the second is the BPT which doesn't use RR, the third is the BPT which uses RR (strictly, minimum subpath lengths are set 3).
The first twos look the same, but the third is not, looks slightly brighter.
I also attached the current code fragments just to make sure.
I'm sorry my poor English.
Thank you.
NOTICE:
consider only the pinhole camera model.
consider only diffuse surfaces.
Now I don't distinguish the shading normal from the geometry normal, but in the test scene, they are the same vectors.

Now, I'm implementing Veach-style BPT.

But this is only in case that I don't use Russian roulette in BPT.
For debugging BPT, of course I checked the equality between PT and BPT's unweighted contributions with respect to each path length.
For example, the result of each
- 1 bounce light transport by [reference PT] and [s=0, t=3], [s=1, t=2] are the same, (Now I consider only the pinhole camera model, t<=1 paths are not considered)
- 2 bounce light transport by [reference PT] and [s=0, t=4], [s=1, t=3], [s=2, t=2] are the same,
- 3 bounce ...
...
But I say again, these results are gotten only if I don't use Russian roulette.
Of course, I know that it is required that the probability for generating a adjacent vertex in MIS weight computations contain RR continuation probability.
Would anyone give me some suggestions ?
I attached three images that only represent 2 bounce transport, the first is the reference by PT, the second is the BPT which doesn't use RR, the third is the BPT which uses RR (strictly, minimum subpath lengths are set 3).
The first twos look the same, but the third is not, looks slightly brighter.
I also attached the current code fragments just to make sure.
I'm sorry my poor English.

by ingenious] [MIS BPT with Russian Roulette] Wayback!How do you account for RR in the MIS weight? You just need to multiply the pdf of the bounce direction with the survival probability. As I see from the code, you have tested with a constant probability of 0.5.

As you say, now I'm testing RR with a constant probability 0.5.
The first few bounces don't consider RR, absolutely continue (but in the above code, RR is considered from the first bounce).
I took RR into account in MIS weight by the below code.
The precomputed PDFs (for surface area) don't contain RR probability, so a path generation probability is multiplied by or divided by RR probability.
Code: [LINK # Select all]//calculate p_{s+1} ~ p_{s+t-2}.
for (int i = s; i < s + t - 2; ++i) {
if (i >= nL) {
break;
}
ad = i;
rm = ad + 2;
pdfRatio = uniDirPath[ad]->dAOPDF / uniDirPath[rm]->dAIPDF;
//consider russian roulette
if (ad > numAbsLengthLight) {
pdfRatio *= uniDirPath[ad]->rrOPDF;
}
if (s + t - rm >= numAbsLengthEye) {
pdfRatio /= uniDirPath[rm]->rrIPDF;
}
pPath *= pdfRatio;
invWeight += pPath * pPath;
}
I assume that it computes correctly, but the result seems incorrect. [SMILEY :(]

by spectral] [MIS BPT with Russian Roulette] Wayback!Hi,
You tell that you don't account for MIS at x(0) (camera vertex), so maybe you have a very small geometric term that does not cancel due to RR !
I say this because fireflies appears in the corner, when the distance between x(i) and y(i) is near 0 !
What you can try is to put check this when you do the connection, if G is too small then use 0.1. Just for test of course ! Something like :
Code: [LINK # Select all]distance2 = max(0.01, distance2)
Honestly, I'm not sure that it is a good practice to put a RR for small path, maybe use RR only for path length > 3 ! For sure, Ingenious maybe you can confirm ?
3

by shocker_0x15] [MIS BPT with Russian Roulette] Wayback!Thank you spectral.
As you say, I tested getting rid of very small G factor by your code.
As we expected, fireflies seem to be decreased, but whole of the image of BPT using RR seems to be brighter as before.
Now I'm testing with minimum absolute path length (it is 1) for convenience.
In practice, of course I set it about 3.

>> shocker_0x15 wrote:Of course, I know that it is required that the probability for generating a adjacent vertex in MIS weight computations contain RR continuation probability.
Actually, as Dietger noted on another thread, you don't need to take RR into account for MIS weights, any weights are valid as long they sum to 1. You might lose a very small amount of efficiency, but it's completely valid to construct MIS weights ignoring RR, so perhaps this will help to find the bug.
(Edit: in this post [LINK http://ompf2.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=516&p=1533#p1533 viewtopic.php?f=3&t=516&p=1533#p1533])

>>
I attached three images that only represent 2 bounce transport, the first is the reference by PT, the second is the BPT which doesn't use RR, the third is the BPT which uses RR (strictly, minimum subpath lengths are set 3).
The first twos look the same, but the third is not, looks slightly brighter.

In "BPT doesn't use RR", minimum subpath lengths are set 3.
So for 2 bounce light transport, RR must not be used.

Thanks apaffy.
I simply tried to comment out multiplying and dividing by RR in MIS computations. (not in subpath traceing)
But the result yet seems incorrect:?
LuxRender includes BPT implementation and it seems to consider RR in MIS weight computations.

Then I think you have to conclude that the remaining MIS code is not correct. If you use uniform weights is the image correct? If you accumulate just the weights does it converge to an image of 1s?

I tried to check uniform weighting (in this case, there are 3 strategies [s=0, t=4], [s=1, t=3], [s=2, t=2], they are assigned 0.33333... weight).
And I got the result, which shows that BPT and reference will converge to the same.
The minimum subpath lengths are set 1 there.

From this result, I think that my MIS weights computation part is incorrect.

MIS weights for certain length sum to 1 only if each strategy exactly traces the same path, don't it ?
So, do you mean that the sum of MIS weights "converges" to an image of 1s if it is averaged by the number of passes ?
I tried to create two weight maps.
The one represents the result that it doesn't use RR.
The other represent the result that it uses RR.
I assigned 100 brightness to 1.0 weights.

[IMG #3 weights_dist_withRR.png]
Each of them seems obviously different from a image of 1s.
Is it caused by subpath pairs that cannot connect each other ?

Yep if the weights produce different results to the uniform case then there must be some error in the weights.

Hmm I should have sanity checked this debug suggestion before posting, I remember doing something similar before but plainly this not a useful image as-is. Please ignore this until I regain my sanity, sorry!
