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 …

Ray tracing has long been considered as the next-generation technology for graphics
rendering. Recently, there has been strong momentum to adopt ray tracing--based …

We present RayCore, a mobile ray-tracing hardware architecture. RayCore facilitates high-
quality rendering effects, such as reflection, refraction, and shadows, on mobile devices by …

We propose a novel massively parallel construction algorithm for Bounding Volume
Hierarchies (BVHs) based on locally-ordered agglomerative clustering. Our method builds …

A 3D occupancy map that is accurately modeled after real-world environments is essential
for reliably performing robotic tasks. Probabilistic volumetric mapping (PVM) is a well-known …

We present a hybrid architecture, inspired by asynchronous BVH construction [1], for ray
tracing animated scenes. Our hybrid architecture utilizes heterogeneous hardware …

The ray tracing algorithm is well-known for its ability to generate photo-realistic rendering
effects. Recent years have witnessed a renewed momentum in pushing it to real-time for …

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 …

We present SENC, a novel self-supervised neural cloth simulator that addresses the
challenge of cloth self-collision. This problem has remained unresolved due to the gap in …

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 …
