  abstract =   "The algorithm proposed in this paper uses a stochastic
               approach to incrementally calculate the illumination
               function over a surface. By tracking the illumination
               function at different levels of meshing resolution, it is
               possible to get a measure for the quality of the current
               representation, and to adoptively subdivide in places with
               inadequate accuracy. With this technique a hierarchical mesh
               that is based on the stochastic evaluation of global
               illumination is generated.",
