Incoherent Ray Tracing without Acceleration Structures

The ideas launched by the Beveridge Commission in 1942 set the pace for major reforms in post-war Britain, and inspired Norwegian welfare programmes as well, with gradual

The Vertex Tracing approach introduced in this paper follows an adaptive ray tracing approach (which drastically reduces the number of rays) in combination with parallel

We introduce a new ray tracing algorithm that exploits the best of previous methods: Similar to bounding volume hierarchies the memory of the acceleration data structure is linear

Figure 8 shows the render times for the three ray tracers for only primary rays and the recursion depths from 1 to 9.. Starting at a depth of four, the render times for the grids

Thus, the aim of our work is – to quickly identify a hierarchical structure of coherent rays amongst random rays in order to make the acceleration methods more effective..

The first and second step occur before the actual ray traversal, and enable a ray bundle to share data, compute the size of the cache and determine which part of the cache each

The Ray Termination Surface Area Heuristic (RTSAH) is a cost metric originally used for determining the traversal order of the voxels for occlusion rays that takes ray termination

The presented ray-traversal method exhibits improved traversal performance especially for increasingly incoherent rays..
