Algorithms to Test Ray-Triangle Intersection. Comparative Study

چکیده
In this article we present an algorithm to determine the intersection between rays and triangles based on the idea of the study of signs with respect to triangles. One of the advantages of this approach is its robustness due to its lack of trigonometric operations or complex divisions which might alter the result of the calculations. The algorithm is similar (or even better) in time to other existing algorithms, but it is based exclusively on the study of signs, so that the results obtained are more precise. A comparative study of times between the algorithm and other similar algorithms is presented.

متن کاملAn Evaluation Framework for Ray-Triangle Intersection Algorithms
We show that comparing geometrical algorithms, in general, is very hard to do in a fair way. Our focus here is on the existing ray-triangle intersection test routines. A set of rules are developed so that a fair comparison can be produced, and this is all implemented in an evaluation framework. If all algorithms are evaluated using different hit rates, on different machines, for different input...

متن کاملRay-Triangle Intersection Algorithm for Modern CPU Architectures
We present an algorithm for determining if a ray intersects a triangle interior; and computing intersection point parameters as well as distance of intersection in response to the ray intersecting a triangle interior. Particularly a variation of a hybrid test having all benefits of Plücker and projected barycentric tests is proposed. The test is also vectorized using SIMD instructions for effic...
