Ray tracing has long been a method of choice for off‐line rendering, but traditionally was too
slow for interactive use. With faster hardware and algorithmic improvements this has recently …

The behavior of daylight inside built settings, though complex, is well understood; and over
past years, designers and researchers investigated different tools and methodologies to …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Ray tracing is an inherent part of photorealistic image synthesis algorithms. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection with a given ray and scene. Although this …

Modern graphics hardware architectures excel at compute-intensive tasks such as ray-
triangle intersection, making them attractive target platforms for raytracing. To date, most …

The most significant deficiency of most of today's interactive ray tracers is that they are
restricted to static walkthroughs. This restriction is due to the static nature of the acceleration …

Recursive ray tracing is a simple yet powerful and general approach for accurately
computing global light transport and rendering high quality images. While recent algorithmic …

Interaktive 3D-Computergraphik basiert heutzutage fast ausschliesslich auf dem
Rasterisierungsverfahren. Dieses ist heute sehr effizient und günstig realisierbar, stösst aber …

Visualization in Medicine is the first book on visualization and its application to problems in
medical diagnosis, education, and treatment. The book describes the algorithms, the …

Over the past few years, the powerful computation rates and high memory bandwidth of
GPUs have attracted efforts to run raytracing on GPUs. Our work extends Foley et al.'s GPU …
