Stochastic Pairwise MIS for Unbiased Large-Kernel Reuse in Real Time

Spatiotemporal resampling methods such as ReSTIR decrease noise in Monte Carlo rendering of dynamic content by reusing paths across frames and pixels. Standard ReSTIR reuses spatially from a small number of randomly selected neighbors. This reuse suffers when few neighbors contain contributing samples, reducing quality toward that of the underlying path sampler. This commonly occurs during camera or object motion, as regions not present in prior frames are revealed. Increasing the number of...
