Practical ray shooting algorithms aiming at the average-case complexity use some underlying spatial data structure such as $kd$-tree. We show the new termination criteria algorithm that improves the space and time complexity of the $kd$-tree construction. It provides efficient ray-shooting queries and does not require any specific constants from a user. Further, we show how to apply a novel clipping algorithm into the $kd$-tree within construction phase in order to improve its properties." } @inproceedings{bittner:2001:PG, author = "Ji\v{r}\'\i{} Bittner and Peter Wonka and Michael Wimmer", title = "Visibility Preprocessing for Urban Scenes using Line Space Subdivision", booktitle = "Proceedings of Pacific Graphics (PG'01)", address = {Tokyo, Japan}, year = "2001", publisher = "IEEE Computer Society", pages = "276--284" } @inproceedings{bittner:2001:SCCG, author = "Ji\v{r}\'\i{} Bittner and Vlastimil Havran", title = "Exploiting Temporal and Spatial Coherence in Hierarchical Visibility Algorithms", booktitle = "Proceedings of Spring Conference on Computer Graphics (SCCG'01)", address = {Budmerice, Slovakia}, year = "2001", publisher = "IEEE Computer Society", pages = "213--220" } @TechReport{Bittner:2001:ERV_long, author = "Ji\v{r}\'\i{} Bittner and Jan P\v{r}ikryl", title = "Exact Regional Visibility using Line Space Partitioning", year = "2001", month = march, pages = "1--13", keywords = "visibility, line--space, BSP--tree, kD--tree, Plucker coordinates, projective geometry", number = "TR-186-2-01-06", institution = "Institute of Computer Graphics and Algorithms, Vienna University of Technology", address = "Karlsplatz 13/186/2, A-1040 Vienna, Austria", ftp = "ftp://ftp.cg.tuwien.ac.at/pub/TR/01/TR-186-2-01-06Paper.ps.gz", note = "human contact: technical-report@cg.tuwien.ac.at", abstract = " We present a new technique for exact and output sensitive determination of visibility from a polygonal region in the pla ne.
