Collision detection algorithms has been investigated since decades. Consequently, there
already exist a wide spectrum of different approaches. In this chapter, we give a broad …

Displacement mapping is a powerful mechanism for adding fine to medium geometric
details over a 3D surface using a 2D map encoding them. While GPU rasterization supports …

Graphics hardware has progressively been optimized to render more triangles with
increasingly flexible shading. For highly detailed geometry, interactive applications restricted …

A common way to ray trace subdivision surfaces is by constructing and traversing spatial
hierarchies on top of tessellated input primitives. Unfortunately, tessellating surfaces …

For a long time, GPUs have primarily been optimized to render more and more triangles with
increasingly flexible shading. However, scene data itself has typically been generated on …

(57) ABSTRACT A system and method for constructing a bounding Volume hierarchical
structure are disclosed. The method includes defining a parent node for the bounding …

(57) ABSTRACT A system, method, and computer program product are provided for
constructing a hierarchical acceleration data structure that Supports ray tracing of motion …

When a bounding volume hierarchy is used for accelerating the intersection of rays and
scene geometry, one common way to incorporate motion blur is to interpolate node …

We present a new method that allows efficient ray tracing of virtually artefact‐free animated
displaced micro‐meshes (DMMs)[MMT23] and preserves their low memory footprint and low …

We present an occlusion culling algorithm that leverages the unique characteristics of patch
primitives within the hardware tessellation pipeline. That is, unseen patches are costly to …
