Claim 19:
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
maintain a temporal reservoir buffer (TRB) comprising a plurality of TRB elements, wherein each of the plurality of TRB elements is assigned to a respective image point (IP) of a plurality of IPs of an image of a scene;
identify, for a first IP of the plurality of IPs, a first sample point of the scene as a source of illumination for the first IP;
probabilistically update a TRB element for the first IP based on (i) a first weight associated with the first sample point for the first IP and (ii) a second weight previously stored in the TRB element for the first IP, the second weight associated with a second sample point for the first IP; and
render the image of the scene using a plurality of updated TRB elements that comprises the updated TRB element for the first IP.
