The task is made difficult by discontinuities in th e integrand at object silhouettes. To address this challenge, we propose a novel edge sampling approach that outperforms the state-of-the-art among unidirectional differentiable renderers.\n\nInterest Area: Research & Educ ation\n\nRecording: Livestreamed, Not Livestreamed, Recorded, Not Recorded \n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Virtual Access, Tuesday\n\nSes sion Chair: Mengqi Xia (Yale University)\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
