Interactive Rendering with Coherent Ray Tracing
EUROGRAPHICS 2001 / A. Chalmers and T.-M. Rhyne Volume 20 (2001), Number 3 (Guest Editors) Interactive Rendering with Coherent Ray Tracing Ingo Wald, Philipp Slusallek, Carsten Benthin, and Markus Wagner Computer Graphics Group, Saarland University Abstract For almost two decades researchers have argued that ray tracing will eventually become faster than the rasteri- zation technique that completely dominates todays graphics hardware. However, this has not happened yet. Ray tracing is still exclusively being used for off-line rendering of photorealistic images and it is commonly believed that ray tracing is simply too costly to ever challenge rasterization-based algorithms for interactive use. However, there is hardly any scientific analysis that supports either point of view. In particular there is no evidence of where the crossover point might be, at which ray tracing would eventually become faster, or if such a point does exist at all. This paper provides several contributions to this discussion: We first present a highly optimized implementation of a ray tracer that improves performance by more than an order of magnitude compared to currently available ray tracers. The new algorithm makes better use of computational resources such as caches and SIMD instructions and better exploits image and object space coherence. Secondly, we show that this software implementation can challenge and even outperform high-end graphics hardware in interactive rendering performance for complex environments. We also provide an brief overview of the benefits of ray tracing over rasterization algorithms and point out the potential of interactive ray tracing both in hardware and software. 1. Introduction Ray tracing is famous for its ability to generate high-quality images but is also well-known for long rendering times due to its high computational cost.

Light Refraction with Dispersion Steven Cropp & Eric Zhang
Light Refraction with Dispersion Steven Cropp & Eric Zhang 1. Abstract In this paper we present ray tracing and photon mapping methods to model light refraction, caustics, and multi colored light dispersion. We cover the solution to multiple common implementation difficulties, and mention ways to extend implementations in the future. 2. Introduction Refraction is when light rays bend at the boundaries of two different mediums. The amount light bends depends on the change in the speed of the light between the two mediums, which itself is dependent on a property of the materials. Every material has an index of refraction, a dimensionless number that describes how light (or any radiation) travels through that material. For example, water has an index of refraction of 1.33, which means light travels 33 percent slower in water than in a vacuum (which has the defining index of refraction of 1). Refraction is described by Snell’s Law, which calculates the new direction of the light ray based on the ray’s initial direction, as well as the two mediums it is exiting and entering. Chromatic dispersion occurs when a material’s index of refraction is not a constant, but a function of the wavelength of light. This causes different wavelengths, or colors, to refract at slightly different angles even when crossing the same material border. This slight variation splits the light into bands based on wavelength, creating a rainbow. This phenomena can be recreated by using a Cauchy approximation of an object’s index of refraction. 3.

Bright-Field Microscopy of Transparent Objects: a Ray Tracing Approach
Bright-field microscopy of transparent objects: a ray tracing approach A. K. Khitrin1 and M. A. Model2* 1Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242 2Department of Biological Sciences, Kent State University, Kent, OH 44242 *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Formation of a bright-field microscopic image of a transparent phase object is described in terms of elementary geometrical optics. Our approach is based on the premise that image replicates the intensity distribution (real or virtual) at the front focal plane of the objective. The task is therefore reduced to finding the change in intensity at the focal plane caused by the object. This can be done by ray tracing complemented with the requirement of conservation of the number of rays. Despite major simplifications involved in such an analysis, it reproduces some results from the paraxial wave theory. Additionally, our analysis suggests two ways of extracting quantitative phase information from bright-field images: by vertically shifting the focal plane (the approach used in the transport-of-intensity analysis) or by varying the angle of illumination. In principle, information thus obtained should allow reconstruction of the object morphology. Introduction The diffraction theory of image formation developed by Ernst Abbe in the 19th century remains central to understanding transmission microscopy (Born and Wolf, 1970). It has been less appreciated that certain effects in transmission imaging can be adequately described by geometrical, or ray optics. In particular, the geometrical approach is valid when one is interested in features significantly larger than the wavelength. Examples of geometrical description include explanation of Becke lines at the boundary of two media with different refractive indices (Faust, 1955) or the axial scaling effect (Visser et al, 1992).

More Ray Tracing
i i i i 13 More Ray Tracing A ray tracer is a great substrate on which to build all kinds of advanced rendering effects. Many effects that take significant work to fit into the object-order ras- terization framework, including basics like the shadows and reflections already presented in Chapter 4, are simple and elegant in a ray tracer. In this chapter we discuss some fancier techniques that can be used to ray-trace a wider variety of scenes and to include a wider variety of effects. Some extensions allow more gen- eral geometry: instancing and constructive solid geometry (CSG) are two ways to make models more complex with minimal complexity added to the program. Other extensions add to the range of materials we can handle: refraction through transparent materials, like glass and water, and glossy reflections on a variety of surfaces are essential for realism in many scenes. This chapter also discusses the general framework of distribution ray trac- ing (Cook et al., 1984), a powerful extension to the basic ray-tracing idea in which multiple random rays are sent through each pixel in an image to produce images with smooth edges and to simply and elegantly (if slowly) produce a wide range of effects from soft shadows to camera depth-of-field. If you start with a brute- force ray intersection loop, The price of the elegance of ray tracing is exacted in terms of computer time: you’ll have ample time to most of these extensions will trace a very large number of rays for any non-trivial implement an acceleration scene.

Basic Geometrical Optics
FUNDAMENTALS OF PHOTONICS Module 1.3 Basic Geometrical Optics Leno S. Pedrotti CORD Waco, Texas Optics is the cornerstone of photonics systems and applications. In this module, you will learn about one of the two main divisions of basic optics—geometrical (ray) optics. In the module to follow, you will learn about the other—physical (wave) optics. Geometrical optics will help you understand the basics of light reflection and refraction and the use of simple optical elements such as mirrors, prisms, lenses, and fibers. Physical optics will help you understand the phenomena of light wave interference, diffraction, and polarization; the use of thin film coatings on mirrors to enhance or suppress reflection; and the operation of such devices as gratings and quarter-wave plates. Prerequisites Before you work through this module, you should have completed Module 1-1, Nature and Properties of Light. In addition, you should be able to manipulate and use algebraic formulas, deal with units, understand the geometry of circles and triangles, and use the basic trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan) as they apply to the relationships of sides and angles in right triangles. 73 Downloaded From: https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/ebooks on 1/8/2019 DownloadedTerms of Use: From:https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/terms-of-use http://ebooks.spiedigitallibrary.org/ on 09/18/2013 Terms of Use: http://spiedl.org/terms F UNDAMENTALS OF P HOTONICS Objectives When you finish this module you will be able to: • Distinguish between light rays and light waves. • State the law of reflection and show with appropriate drawings how it applies to light rays at plane and spherical surfaces.
