  abstract =   "Global illumination is necessary to achieve realistic
               images. Although there are plenty methods that focus on
               solving this problem, most of them are not fast enough for
               interactive environments. Instant radiosity is a method that
               approximates the indirect lighting, as part of global
               illumination, by creating additional light sources. Thereby
               it is very fast and does not need lot of preprocessing, so
               it is perfectly fit to be used within real-time
               requirements. Further techniques based on instant radiosity
               have extended the method to provide better image quality or
               faster rendering. So instant radiosity and its derivations
               can bring us global illumination in real-time.",
