Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

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 …

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 …

We present a GPU-based ray traversal algorithm that operates on compressed wide BVHs
and maintains the traversal stack in a compressed format. Our method reduces the amount …

Compressed wide bounding volume hierarchies can significantly improve the performance
of incoherent ray traversal, through a smaller working set of inner nodes and therefore a …

We present an algorithm for neighbor search in molecular simulations on graphics
processing units (GPUs) based on bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs). The BVH is …

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 …

Cozy model by Cem Yuksel [Wu et al. 2021];(c) a closed ribbon with 12 segments. Bottom …

The memory footprint of bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) can be significantly reduced
using incremental encoding, which enables the coarse quantization of bounding volumes …

光线追踪因其渲染效果的真实性, 长期以来被视为下一代主流图像渲染技术,
是计算机图形学领域的热点研究方向. 近年来, 学术界和商业界对实时光线追踪开展了广泛研究 …
