  text: "In order to evaluate the efficiency of algorithms for real-time 3D rendering,
    different properties like rendering time, occluded triangles, or image quality,
    need to be investigated. Since these properties depend on the position of the
    camera, usually some camera path is chosen, along which the measurements are performed.
    As those measurements cover only a small part of the scene, this approach hardly
    allows drawing conclusions regarding the algorithm's properties at arbitrary positions
    in the scene. The presented method allows the systematic and position-independent
    evaluation of rendering algorithms. It uses an adaptive sampling approach to approximate
    the distribution of a property (like rendering time) for all positions in the
    scene. This approximation can be visualized to produce an intuitive impression
    of the algorithm's behavior or be statistically analyzed for objectively rating
    and comparing algorithms. We demonstrate our method by evaluating performance
    aspects of a known occlusion culling algorithm.\r\n"

  text: "Many virtual 3D scenes, especially those that are large, are not structured
    evenly. For such heterogeneous data, there is no single algorithm that is able
    to render every scene type at each position fast and with the same high image
    quality. For a small set of scenes, this situation can be improved if different
    rendering algorithms are manually assigned to particular parts of the scene by
    an experienced user. We introduce the Multi-Algorithm-Rendering method. It automatically
    deploys different rendering algorithms simultaneously for a broad range of scene
    types. The method divides the scene into subregions and measures the behavior
    of different algorithms for each region in a preprocessing step. During runtime,
    this data is utilized to compute an estimate for the quality and running time
    of the available rendering algorithms from the observer's point of view. By solving
    an optimizing problem, the image quality can be optimized by an assignment of
    algorithms to regions while keeping the frame rate almost constant.\r\n"
