Yasuhiro Iba, Hokkaido University, Japan
Description: This presents an approach consisting of a novel volume data structure, traversal algorithm, and density-encoding accelerating data visualization using ray-tracing hardware, improving average runtime under user-input defined access of volume.

Vectorized Reservoir Sampling
Contributor(s):
Shinji Ogaki, ZOZO, Inc., Japan
Description: We propose the vectorized version of Chao's weighted reservoir sampling algorithm and provide a couple of practical applications.

Enhua Wu, State Key Lab of CS, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences & Univ. of CAS; FST, University of Macau, China
Description: This paper presents a novel approach to anti-aliased ray-marching by indirect shading in cube-map space, which can prevent volume rendering from rapid performance drops in high-resolution-viewport cases without quality tradeoff.

World-space Spatiotemporal Reservoir Reuse for Ray-traced Global Illumination
Contributor(s):
Guillaume Boissé, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), France
Description: We present a novel approach that caches reservoirs into the cells of a hash grid, allowing for efficient reservoir-based importance resampling for light sampling at secondary path vertices and beyond.
