Ray tracing is an inherent part of photorealistic image synthesis algorithms. The problem of
ray tracing is to find the nearest intersection with a given ray and scene. Although this …

We present a general high‐performance technique for ray tracing generalized tube
primitives. Our technique efficiently supports tube primitives with fixed and varying radii …

Depictions of molecular surfaces such as the Solvent Excluded Surface (SES) can provide
crucial insight into functional molecular properties, such as the molecule's potential to react …

Multi-hit ray traversal is a class of ray traversal algorithm that finds one or more, and possibly
all, primitives intersected by a ray, ordered by point of intersection. Multi-hit traversal …

We present a new method for progressive volume rendering by accumulating object-space
samples over successively rendered frames. Existing methods for progressive refinement …

We introduce node culling multi-hit BVH traversal to enable faster multi-hit ray tracing in a
bounding volume hierarchy (BVH). Existing, widely used ray tracing engines expose API …

We present two different methods for improving the performance and robustness of ray
tracing algorithms that require iterating through multiple successive intersections along the …

Particle-based simulation models have assumed a significant role in the numerical
computation of high-fidelity transient flow and continuum mechanical problems. However …

We present an implementation of node culling multi-hit BVH traversal in Embree. Whereas
previous work was limited by API restrictions, as of version 2.10. 0, Embree respects ray …

Visualization is vital to the scientific discovery process. An interactive high-fidelity rendering
provides accelerated insight into complex structures, models and relationships. However …
