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 …

Readily available RGB-D cameras in smart phones and improving 3D scanning
technologies have made it possible to produce detailed point cloud and point-based models …

Real-time graphics has come a long way since the" brute-force approach" of rasterization
had been classified" ridiculously expensive" in 1974. Henceforth the promise" Ray tracing is …

We present a novel bounding volume hierarchy for GPU-accelerated direct volume
rendering (DVR) as well as volumetric mesh slicing and inside-outside intersection testing …

In the near future, GPUs are expected to have hardware support for real-time ray tracing in
order to, eg, help render complex lighting effects in video games and enable photorealistic …

A myriad of intersection tests is necessary for culling algorithms to answer intersection
queries in the field of ray tracing, so BVHs are employed to accelerate such queries. OBB …

Apparatus and method for efficient BVH construction. For example, one embodiment of an
apparatus comprises: a memory to store graphics data for a scene including a plurality of …

Data movement, particularly access to the main memory, has been the bottleneck of most
computing problems. Ray tracing is no exception. We propose an unconventional solution …

Bounding volume hierarchies (BVH) are the most widely used acceleration structures for ray
tracing due to their high construction and traversal performance. However, the bounding …

Ray tracing has emerged as a powerful technique for generating visually stunning and
realistic images compared to rasterization. With the continuous advancements in computer …
