The NVIDIA® OptiX™ ray tracing engine is a programmable system designed for NVIDIA
GPUs and other highly parallel architectures. The OptiX engine builds on the key …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

This book explores the methods needed for creating and manipulating HDR content. HDR is
a step change from traditional imaging; more closely matching what we see with our eyes. In …

Ray tracing has long been considered as the next-generation technology for graphics
rendering. Recently, there has been strong momentum to adopt ray tracing--based …

In computational science and computer graphics, there is a strong requirement to represent
and visualize information in the real domain, and many visualization data structures and …

Indirect illumination is an important element for realistic image synthesis, but its computation
is expensive and highly dependent on the complexity of the scene and of the BRDF of the …

Motion blur is a fundamental cue in the perception of objects in motion. This phenomenon
manifests as a visible trail along the trajectory of the object and is the result of the …

With ray traversal performance reaching the point where real-time ray tracing becomes
practical, ray tracing research is now shifting away from faster traversal, and towards the …

A wrapper is a thin shell around the core, that provides the switching between functional,
and core-internal and core-external test modes. Together with a test access mechanism …

We present a tetrahedral finite cell method for the simulation of incompressible flow around
geometrically complex objects. The method immerses such objects into non-boundary-fitted …
