394                 of spatial coherence because the shapes of reflections
395                 and refractions from curved surfaces are so complex. \\
396                 In this paper we describe an algorithm that utilizes
397                 the spatial coherence of polygonal environments by
398                 combining features of both image and object space
399                 hidden surface algorithms. Instead of tracing
400                 infinitesimally thin rays of light, we sweep areas
401                 through a scene to form ``beams.'' This technique works
402                 particularly well for polygonal models since for this
403                 case the reflections are linear transformation, and
404                 refractions are often approximately so. \\ The
405                 recursive beam tracer begins by sweeping the projection
406                 plane through the scene. Beam-surface intersections are
407                 computed using two-dimensional polygonal set operations
408                 and an occlusion algorithm similar to the
409                 Weiler-Atherton hidden surface algorithm. For each
410                 beam-polygon intersection the beam is fragmented and
411                 new beams created for the reflected and transmitted
412                 swath of light. These sub-beams are redirected with a
413                 4x4 matrix transformation and recursively traced. This
414                 beam tree is an object space representation of the
415                 entire picture.",

729                 algorithms are discussed for displaying geometric
730                 models of three-dimensional objects. An important use
731                 of such algorithms is in CAD/CAM-systems to give the
732                 designer insight in the shape of the design. \\ Of
733                 particular concern here are direct display algorithms
734                 for constructive solid geometry models and generalized
735                 cylinders. `Direct' in this context means that a solid
736                 object is displayed without the need to convert its
737                 model into a boundary representation providing the
738                 information about faces, edges and vertices required by
739                 the standard display algorithms. \\ For constructive
740                 solid geometry models, the starting point is a
741                 collection of primitive objects, such as cubes, spheres
742                 and cylinders, that can be combined into more complex
743                 objects with set operations. The two alternatives for
744                 displaying such models, namely conversion into a
745                 boundary representation followed by display with a
746                 standard algorithm, and direct display with an adapted
747                 algorithm, are weighed. An overview of direct display
748                 algorithms for constructive solid geometry models is
749                 also given. \\ Generalized cylinders are objects
750                 defined by an arbitrary two-dimensional contour, or
751                 cross-section, and an arbitrary three-dimensional
752                 trajectory along which to sweep the contour. With
753                 profiled generalized cylinders, the contour can be
754                 scaaed along the trajectory in two perpendicular
755                 directions according to two profile curves. An exact
756                 definition of such objects is given. Here also the
757                 alternative for display, namely conversion into a
758                 boundary representation followed by display with a
759                 standard algorithm, and direct display with a special
760                 algorithm, are compared. \\ Finally, some conclusions
761                 are drawn, and directions for further research on
762                 direct display algorithms for solid models are
763                 identified.",

793                 intersection problem, which is solved by the method of
794                 strip trees. The surface-of-revolution algorithm
795                 transforms the three-dimensional ray-surface
796                 intersection problem into a two-dimensional curve-curve
797                 intersection problem, which again is solved by strip
798                 trees. \\ Kajiya presents good solid methods for ray
799                 tracing various models which are represented
800                 procedurally. Fractals are ray traced as they are
801                 built, which keeps unseen fractal surfaces from being
802                 evolved. Prisms are ray traced in a fairly simple
803                 fashion. A clever use of geometric transforms is used
804                 to ray trace surfaces of revolution. Makes good use of
805                 strip trees (see Ballard).",

901                 125-140. \\ In this article we explore the possibility
902                 of a VLSI chip for ray tracing bicubic patches in
903                 B\'{e}zier form. The purpose of the chip is to
904                 calculate the intersection point of a ray with the
905                 bicubic patch to a specified level of accuracy,
906                 returning parameter values $(u,v)$ specifing the
907                 location of the intersection on the patch, and a
908                 parameter value, $t$, which specifies the location of
909                 the intersection on the ray. The intersection is
910                 calculated by successively subdividing the patch and
911                 computing the intersection of the ray with a bounding
912                 box of each subpatch until the bounding volume meets
913                 the accuracy requirement. There are two operating
914                 modes: one in which only the nearest intersection is
915                 found, and another in which all intersections are
916                 found. This algorithm (and the chip) correctly handle
917                 the difficult cases of the ray tangentially
918                 intersecting a planar patch and intersections of the
919                 ray at a silhouette edge of the patch. Estimates
920                 indicate that such a chip could be implemented with
921                 2-micron NMOS (N-type metal oxide semiconductor) and
922                 could compute patch-ray intersections at the rate of
923                 one every 15 microseconds for patches that are
924                 prescaled and specified to a 12-bit fixed point for
925                 each of the $x, y$, and $z$ components. A version
926                 capable of handling 24-bit patches could compute
927                 patch-ray intersections at the rate of one every 140
928                 microseconds. Calculations of the normal at the
929                 intersection point could be performed with the addition
930                 of Re scalar subtractions and six scalar multiplies.

1162                 values. At each cell the altitude of the ray is
1163                 compared with the heights of the four corners of the
1164                 cell; ray/object intersections need only be calculated
1165                 when the altitude of the ray is in the range of those
1166                 heights. The average number of ray/object intersections
1167                 performed is about two per ray; the two objects tested
1168                 for intersection are located in $O(\sqrt{N-1})$ time
1169                 where $N$ is the number of height values in the
1170                 field.",

1944                 implicit surfaces. The algorithm is guaranteed to
1945                 numerically find the nearest intersection of the
1946                 surface with a ray, and is guaranteed not to miss fine
1947                 features of the surface. It does not require fine
1948                 tuning or human choice of interactive parameters.
1949                 Instead, it requires two upper bounds: ``L'' that
1950                 limits the net rate of change of the implicit surface
1951                 function $f(x,y,z)$ and ``G'' that limits the rate of
1952                 change of the gradient. An implicit surface with these
1953                 rate limits is referred to as an ``LG-implicit
1954                 surface.'' \\ Existing schemes to intersect a ray with
1955                 an implicit surface have typically been guaranteed to
1956                 work only for a limited set of implicit functions, such
1957                 as quadric surfaces or polynomials, or else have been

2015                 tracing and other algorithms \\ Hierarchical
2016                 representations of 3-dimensional objects are both time
2017                 and space efficient. They typically consist of trees
2018                 whose branches represent bounding volumes and whose
2019                 terminal nodes represent primitive object elements
2020                 (usually polygons). This paper describes a method
2021                 whereby the object space is represented entirely by a
2022                 hierarchical data structure consisting of bounding
2023                 volumes, with no other form of representation. This
2024                 homogeneity allows the visible surface rendering to be
2025                 performed simply and efficiently. \\ The bounding
2026                 volumes selected for this algorithm are parallelepipeds
2027                 oriented to minimize their sizes. With this
2028                 representation, any surface can be rendered since in
2029                 the limit the bounding volumes make up a point
2030                 representation of the object. The advantage is that the
2031                 visibility calculations consist only of a search
2032                 through the data structure to determine the
2033                 correspondence between terminal level bounding volumes
2034                 and the current pixel. For ray tracing algorithms, this
2035                 means that a simplified operation will produce the
2036                 point of intersection of each ray with the bounding
2037                 volumes. \\ Memory requirements are minimized by
2038                 expanding or fetching lower levels of the hierarchy
2039                 only when required. Because the viewing process has a
2040                 single operation and primitive type, the software and
2041                 hardware chosen to implement the search can be highly
2042                 optimized for very fast execution.",

2162                 introduce a new technique to speed up the generation of
2163                 successive ray traced images when the geometry of the
2164                 scene remains constant and only the light source
2165                 intensities and the surface properties need to be

2307                 mapping is an important technique for adding detail to
2308                 surface geometry in rendering systems. It allows
2309                 complex geometric variation to be added to simpler
2310                 geometry, without the cost in geometric complexity of
2311                 completely describing the nuances of the geometry at
2312                 modeling time and with the advantage that the detail
2313                 can be added adaptively at rendering time. The cost of
2314                 displacement mapping is geometric complexity. Renderers
2315                 that provide it must be able to efficiently render
2316                 scenes that have effectively millions of geometric
2317                 primitives. Scan-line renderers process primitives one
2318                 at a time, so this complexity doesn't tax them, but
2319                 traditional ray-tracing algorithms require random
2320                 access to the entire scene database, so any part of the
2321                 scene geometry may need to be available at any point
2322                 during rendering. If the displaced geometry is fully
2323                 instantiated in memory, it is straightforward to
2324                 intersect rays with it, but displacement mapping has
2325                 not yet been practical in ray-tracers due to the memory
2326                 cost of holding this much geometry. We introduce the
2327                 use of a geometry cache in order to handle the large
2328                 amounts of geometry created by displacement mapping. By
2329                 caching a subset of the geometry created and rendering
2330                 the image in a coherent manner, we are able to take
2331                 advantage of the fact that the rays spawned by
2332                 traditional ray-tracing algorithms are spatially
2333                 coherent. Using our algorithm, we have efficiently

2578                       requires computation of intersections between rays and
2579                       bounding volumes whose faces are parallel to the
2580                       cartesian axes. By redefining the HTE so that
2581                       non-overlapping bounding volumes are generated, a
2582                       well-behaved data structure is obtained in which
2583                       `geometrical coherence'' is applied to speed up its
2584                       traversal. We distinguish two types of bounding
2585                       volumes: {\em internal} boxes contain the ray's origin
2586                       while {\em external} bounding volumes do not contain
2587                       the ray's origin. To traverse the HTE, we look first to
2588                       polygons in the internal bounding volumes and external
2589                       boxes are dealt with only when no ray-polygon
2590                       intersection is found in internal nodes. As external
2591                       nodes in the HTE define pruned subtrees of external
2592                       bounding volumes, geometrical characteristics of the
2593                       boxes are exploited for HTE traversal. A coding scheme
2594                       allows a 6-bit code to determine which faces of a
2595                       bounding volume need to be tested for intersection.
2596                       Also, our well-behaved HTE allows for reuse of

2704                     for generating efficient, nonoverlapping hierarchies of
2705                     bounding volumes. \\ In spacetime ray tracing, instead
2706                     of rendering dynamically moving objects in 3D space, we
2707                     render static objects in 4D spacetime. To support

3083                 simple scenes with and without proper treatment of
3084                 polarization can be rather striking. All light waves
3085                 possess a state of polarization, which changes almost
3086                 every time light reflects off a material surface. A
3087                 single reflection partially polarizes and may even
3088                 completely polarize previously unpolarized light.
3089                 Polarization influences the rendering of a scene
3090                 because the reflected radiant intensity depends largely
3091                 on the incident light wave's polarization state. \\ We
3092                 have incorporated Emil Wolf's coherence matrix
3093                 formalism for polarization into the Torrance-Sparrow
3094                 reflectance model. This combination enables elegant
3095                 quantitative derivations of the altered polarization
3096                 state of light upon reflection in a ray tracer.
3097                 Comparisons of identicala scenes rendered with a
3098                 conventional ray tracer and our ray tracer.
3099                 Incorporating a polarization model show that our method
3100                 renders specular interobject reflections more
3101                 accurately with respect to reflected radiance and

3539                       the coherency of an auxiliary data structure imposed on
3540                       the original object domain. After investigating both
3541                       simple spatial enumeration and a hybrid octree
3542                       approach, we develop the 3DDDA, a 3D line generator,

3635                 anti-aliasing ray-traced pictures is introduced.
3636                 Traditionally, anti-aliasing has been done using
3637                 super-sampling. However, this is costly since it
3638                 requires casting large numbers of rays to obtain sample
3639                 densities above the displayed pixel density. It is also
3640                 wasteful since much of the information in these samples
3641                 is discarded when they are filtered to yield the
3642                 anti-aliasing pixels. We avoid these problems by
3643                 performing the filtering in the object space using the
3644                 geometry of ray-surface intersections rather than by
3645                 casting extra rays. In addition, we only perform
3646                 filtering at a pixel if edges are nearby. We detect
3647                 these edges by observing the order in which the pixel's
3648                 rays pass through cover surfaces constructed just
3649                 inside and outside the surface of each object. Shadows,
3650                 reflections and refractions can be anti-aliased using
3651                 this method and a variety of object types can be
3652                 handled including ellipsoids, polyhedra, and objects
3653                 formed using set operations. \\ Our anti-aliasing gives
3654                 high image quality that can only be approached by using
3655                 super-sampling densities at least four times the
3656                 display pixel density. Moreover, since the overhead of
3657                 our method is small, it would take three to four times
3658                 as long to render an anti-aliased image using
3659                 super-sampling than it would with our method.
3660                 Furthermore, covers allow sampling densities less than
3661                 the displayed pixel density. When this is done,
3662                 anti-aliased images can be rendered twice as fast as
3663                 with no anti-aliasing and six to eight times as fast as
3664                 when super-sampling is used for anti-aliasing.",
