GPU Ray Tracing using Irregular Grids
We present a spatial index structure to accelerate ray tracing on GPUs. It is a flat, non-hierarchical spatial subdivision of the scene into axis aligned cells of varying size. In order to construct it, we first nest an octree into each cell of a uniform grid. We then apply two optimization passes to increase ray traversal performance: First, we reduce the expected cost for ray traversal by mer...
متن کاملCompact Rectilinear Grids for the Ray Tracing of Irregular Scenes
Regular grid spatial subdivision is frequently used for fast ray tracing of scanned models. Scanned models feature regular sized primitives, with a regular spatial distribution. Grids have worse performance, than other subdivision techniques, for irregular models without these characteristics. We propose a method to improve the performance of grids for rendering irregular scenes by allowing the...
متن کاملDynamic ray tracing and traveltime corrections for global seismic tomography
We present a dynamic ray tracing program for a spherically symmetric Earth that may be used to compute Fréchet kernels for traveltime and amplitude anomalies at finite frequency. The program works for arbitrarily defined phases and background models. The numerical precisions of kinematic and dynamic ray tracing are optimized to produce traveltime errors under 0.1 s, which is well below the data...
متن کاملTime and Space Efficient Grids for Ray Tracing
The focus of research in acceleration structures for ray tracing recently shifted from render time to time to image, the sum of build time and render time, and also the memory footprint of acceleration structures now receives more attention. In this paper we revisit the grid acceleration structure in this setting. We present two efficient methods for representing and building a grid. The minimu...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
