I don't understand why the PBR implementation of Metorpolis Light Transport scales the final image by b / mutationsPerPixel.
The authors write:
Each Metropolis ...

Multiple Importance Sampling in Bidirectional Path Tracing
I'm trying to understand the computation of the path density described in the book Physically Based Rendering. They assume that a path $$x=(x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1})=(q_0,\ldots,q_{s-1},p_{t-1},\ldots,p_0)$$...

Monte Carlo Integration
Let $I$ = the value of integration and $p$ = probability distribution.
The estimator is denoted as $\left\langle I \right >$ and is
$$\left\langle I \right >=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{i=1}^{N}\frac{f(...
