Previously, although the mathematical formulation of boundary path integrals has been established, efficient and robust estimation of these i ntegrals has remained challenging. Specifically, state-of-the-art boundary sampling methods all rely on primary-sample-space guiding precomputed usi ng sophisticated data structures---whose performance tends to degrade for finely tessellated geometries.\n\nIn this paper, we address this problem b y introducing} a new Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo (MCMC) method. At the core o f our technique is a local perturbation step capable of efficiently explor ing highly fragmented primary sample spaces via specifically designed jump ing rules.\nWe compare the performance of our technique with several state -of-the-art baselines using synthetic differentiable-rendering and inverse -rendering experiments.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Seungyon g Lee (POSTECH) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_551&sess=sess140 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
