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 …

We describe Embree, an open source ray tracing framework for x86 CPUs. Embree is
explicitly designed to achieve high performance in professional rendering environments in …

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 …

Though a large variety of efficiency structures for ray tracing exist, kd-trees today seem to
slowly become the method of choice. In particular, kd-trees built with cost estimation …

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 …

With ray traversal performance reaching the point where real-time ray tracing becomes
practical, ray tracing research is now shifting away from faster traversal, and towards the …

We present a new approach to interactive ray tracing of moderate-sized animated scenes
based on traversing frustum-bounded packets of coherent rays through uniform grids. By …
