Radiance Caching for Real-Time Volumetric Rendering

Researched and implemented a real-time radiance cache for volumetric path tracing using 3D Gaussian Splatting and a fused MLP as the cache representation.

Developed an online differentiable optimization pipeline in CUDA that adapts the Gaussian cache to dynamic lighting and transfer function changes during rendering.

Built a spatial-hash-based fused MLP for radiance caching on volumetric heterogeneous media. Supervised by Prof. Westermann.
