CS348b Final Project: Ray-tracing Interference and Diffraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although inherently a wave phenomena, diffraction can be implemented in a ray tracer by taking advantage of a combination of Geometric Diffraction Theory and the Huygens’-Fresnel Principle. In this paper we show how to implement interference and diffraction in a computationally tractable manner, while retaining the properties of the full volume integration solution.

Diffraction Calculations and Measurements in Millimeter Frequency Band
The paper deals with a study of diffraction on dielectric wedge (building corner) in millimeter frequency band, both theoretically and experimentally, to provide knowledge support for ray tracing/launching calculations of MWS interference issues in urban areas. The main motivation was to find balance between reasonably reliable results and necessary demands on calculation complexity and input d...
متن کاملPhysically-Based Real-Time Diffraction Using Spherical Harmonics
Diffraction, interference, dispersive refraction and scattering are four wavelength-dependent mechanisms that produce iridescent colors. The per-wavelength sampling required to render iridescence significantly increases the computation required to render iridescence in real time. Furthermore, diffraction exhibits much higher frequencies and sharper peak responses than interference and dispersiv...
متن کاملAcquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods
Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...
متن کاملRay-Based Reflectance Model for Diffraction
We present a novel method of simulating wave effects in graphics using ray–based renderers with a new function: the Wave BSDF (Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function). Reflections from neighboring surface patches represented by local BSDFs are mutually independent. However, in many surfaces with wavelengthscale microstructures, interference and diffraction requires a joint analysis of r...
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...
