Detailed Description

Generic camera interface.

This class provides an abstract interface to cameras in Nori and exposes the ability to sample their response function. By default, only a perspective camera implementation exists, but you may choose to implement other types (e.g. an environment camera, or a physically-based camera model that simulates the behavior actual lenses)

virtual Color3f Camera::sampleRay	(	Ray3f &	ray,
		const Point2f &	samplePosition,
		const Point2f &	apertureSample
	)		const [pure virtual]

Importance sample a ray according to the camera's response function.

Parameters:

ray	A ray data structure to be filled with a position and direction value
samplePosition	Denotes the desired sample position on the film expressed in fractional pixel coordinates
apertureSample	A uniformly distributed 2D vector that is used to sample a position on the aperture of the sensor if necessary.

Returns:

An importance weight associated with the sampled ray. This accounts for the difference in the camera response function and the sampling density.
