The architecture of Mitsuba as well as some individual components are based on implementations discussed in: \emph{Physically Based Rendering - From Theory To Implementation} by Matt Pharr and Greg Humphreys.
The architecture of the coherent path tracer traversal code was influenced by Radius from Thierry Berger-Perrin.
