  6. Previous work • Importance sampling: • Transformation of uniform samples • Rejection sampling • Metropolis (Veach97) • Population Monte Carlo (Lai07) • Importance re-sampling (Talbot05), thresholding (Burke05) • Stratification: • Low-discrepancy series (Shirley91,Keller95,Kollig02) • Poisson-disk/blue-noise (Cook86,Dunbar06,Kopf06) • Tiling (Ostromukhov05-07, Lagae06) • Sample relaxation (Agarwal03,Kollig03,Wan05,Spencer09) 2D only?

  7. Proposed method • Simultaneously targets • Importance sampling • Importance function • Point samples • Cheap • Stratification • Minimize discrepancy in the target domain • Simple!

  32. Conclusions • Delta-sigma modulation is a powerful sampling algorithm. • In lower dimensions sampling is equivalent to the error diffusion halftoning of the importance image. • In higher dimensions, implicit cell structure of low-discrepancy series can help to fight the curse of dimensionality.
