Abstract
An information processing apparatus acquires a low resolution indirect illumination buffer having a resolution less than an indirect illumination buffer information used for specifying a specular reflection direction in a position of an object and a reflection characteristic of the object in a 3D scene corresponding to each pixel of the indirect illumination buffer to be generated. Then it generates an indirect illumination buffer by increasing the resolution of the low resolution indirect illumination buffer. Here the apparatus generates the pixels of the indirect illumination buffer generated by the increase in resolution based on at least the level of similarity of the specular reflection lobes of objects corresponding to the pixels and objects corresponding to the pixels of the low resolution indirect illumination buffer used for the generation of the pixels.
