Mesh-based Monte Carlo method using fast ray-tracing in Plücker coordinates
We describe a fast mesh-based Monte Carlo (MC) photon migration algorithm for static and time-resolved imaging in 3D complex media. Compared with previous works using voxel-based media discretization, a mesh-based approach can be more accurate in modeling targets with curved boundaries or locally refined structures. We implement an efficient ray-tracing technique using Plücker Coordinates. The ...
متن کاملEdge diffraction in Monte Carlo ray tracing
Monte Carlo ray tracing programs are now being used to solve many optical analysis problems in which the entire optomechanical system must be considered. In many analyses, it is desired to consider the effects of diffraction by mechanical edges. Smoothly melding the effects of diffraction, a wave phenomenon, into a ray-tracing program is a significant technical challenge. This paper discusses t...
متن کاملIrradiance Filtering for Monte Carlo Ray Tracing
Stochastic ray tracing algorithms generate photo-realistic images by simulating the global illumination. Typically a rather long computation time is required for decreasing the visible noise to an acceptable level. In this paper we propose a spatially variant low-pass filter for reducing this noise. We analyze the theoretical background of the method and present an efficient implementation that...

متن کاملAccelerating mesh-based Monte Carlo method on modern CPU architectures
In this report, we discuss the use of contemporary ray-tracing techniques to accelerate 3D mesh-based Monte Carlo photon transport simulations. Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) based computation and branch-less design are exploited to accelerate ray-tetrahedron intersection tests and yield a 2-fold speed-up for ray-tracing calculations on a multi-core CPU. As part of this work, we have a...
