We show how to construct a discrete representation of the radiative transport operator T involving inner products of smoothing functions, discuss the possible numerical integration techniques, and present an application. We also show how surface interaction can be represented as a kind of matrix product of the wavelet projections of an incident radiance and a bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF).
