3D 그래픽의 실사 이미지를 표현하기 위해 사용되는 광선추적법은 알고리즘상 빛과 물체의 충돌을 검사하는데 대부분의 시간이 소모된다. 보다 빠른 광선추적법을 수행하기 위해 빛과 물체의 충돌 검사시간을 줄이는 것이 요구된다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 디자인 시 설정된 오브젝트를 바로 랜더링 하는 방법보다 오브젝트와 카메라의 거리, 오브젝트와 월드의 상대적 크기를 고려한 바운딩 볼륨을 설정하도록 전처리해 빛과 물체의 충돌 검사 시간을 줄임으로서 광선추적법 알고리즘을 빨리 수행하는 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper, we have proposed discrete ray tracing method (DRTM) for numerical analysis of characteristics of electromagnetic propagation along 2D random rough surfaces. The point of the present method is to discretize not only rough surface but also ray tracing. The former helps saving computer memories and the latter does simplifying ray searching algorithm resulting in saving computation time. Numerical calculations are carried out for 2D random rough surfaces, and electric field distributions are shown to check the effectiveness of the proposed DRTM.

Ray tracing is one of the classical global illumination methods to generate a photo-realistic rendering image with various lighting effects such as reflection and refraction. However, there are some restrictions on real-time applications because of its computation load. In order to overcome these limitations, many researches of the ray tracing based on GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) have been presented up to now. In this paper, we implement the ray tracing algorithm by J. Purcell and combine it with two methods in order to improve the rendering performance for interactive applications. First, intersection points of the primary ray are determined efficiently using rasterization on graphics hardware. We then construct the acceleration structure of 3D objects to improve the rendering performance. There are few researches on a detail analysis of improved performance by these considerations in ray tracing rendering. We compare the rendering system with environment mapping based on GPU and implement the wireless remote rendering system. This system is useful for interactive applications such as the realtime composition, augmented reality and virtual reality.

광선 추적법(Ray-Tracer)은 물체에 직.간접적으로 영향을 미치는 빛의 반사 및 굴절 경로를 역추적함으로써 실제감있는 이미지를 생성하는 렌더링(rendering)기법이다. 이러한 광성 추적법을 장시간의 계산을 필요로 하는 단점이 있으나. 각각의 광선을 병렬적으로 추적함으로써 속도의 향상을 피할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자바를 사용하는 메시지 기반 병렬 프로그래밍 시스템인 JPVM 상에서 동작하는 병렬 광선 추적기를 구현하였다. 병렬 광성 추적기를 사용자에 의해 지정된 장면 정의 파일(Scene Defintion File)을 읽어 들여 피싱(parsing)한후, 생성된 장면 객체를 각 worker프로그램에게 전송한다. 병렬 광선 추적기는 전체 화면 영역을 분활하여 각 worker 프로그램에 할당하며, worker프로그램들은 자신에게 할당된 영역의 이미지를 병렬적으로 생성한다. 실험 결과, 병렬 광선 추적기는 단일 광선 추적기에 비해 빠르게 렌더링을 수행하였으며, worker프로그램의 수가 증가함에 따라 수행 속도가 향상되었다.

광선추적법에서 계산시간의 대부분은 광선과 물체와의 교차 검사에 사용된다. 그러므로 빠른 교차검사는 광선추적 알고리즘의 속도 증가를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 광선 추적 알고리즘을 이용하여 삼각형이나 사각형등의 물체로 구성된 이미지를 생성할 때 전처리과정(preprocessing)에서 미리 계산된 두 상수 vector $\hat{u}$과 $\hat{v}$을 이용하여 지금까지 알려진 방법보다 빠른 교차 검사를 수행함으로써 속도를 향상 시키는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 이 결과를 삼각형의 보간(interpolation)에서 뿐만 아니라, 적응분할(adaptive subdivision) 방법을 사용하는 래디오시티 모델(radiosity model)에서 자주 사용되는 일반 사각형에서의 효율적인 bilinear interpolation 기법을 제시한다.

Ray tracing-based rendering creates by far more realistic images than the traditional rasterization-based rendering. However, it is still burdensome when implemented for a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) system that demands a wide field of view and a high display refresh rate. Furthermore, for presenting high-quality images on the HMD screen, a sufficient number of ray sampling should be carried out per pixel to alleviate visually annoying spatial and temporal aliases. In this paper, we extend the recent selective foveated ray tracing technique by Kim et al. [1], and propose an improved real-time rendering technique that realizes the rendering effect of the classic Whitted-style ray tracing on the HMD system. In particular, by combining the ray tracing hardware-based acceleration technique and time-constrained rendering scheme, we show that fast HMD ray tracing is possible that is well suited to human visual systems.

In this paper, we implemented a ray-tracing simulator with a ray-launching technique and generated the propagation path of each ray in a multiple-wall indoor environment. In this simulator, we adopted two dimension ray-tracing techniques considering the reflection and penetration were dominant propagation factor in the indoor channel. From the result, we verified that this ray-tracing simulator shows the similar path pattern and delay distribution with the experiment results of the previous research. Especially, impulse responses of the ray were corresponding to reference result in non-line of sight of multiple-wall indoor environment. Furthermore, we confirmed that channel profiles having respectively different departure angle 1 degree to 7 degree were similar between them.

In the process of visualizing a point set representing a smooth manifold surface, global illumination techniques can be used to render a realistic scene with various effects of lighting. Thanks to the continuous demand for ray tracing and the development of graphics hardware, dedicated GPUs and programmable pipeline for ray tracing have been introduced in recent years. In this paper, real-time global illumination rendering is studied for a point-set model using ray-tracing GPUs. We apply the moving least-squares (MLS) method to approximate the point set to a smooth implicit surface and render it using global illumination by performing massive ray-intersection tests with the surface and generating shading effects at the intersection point. As a result, a complicated point-set scene consisting of more than 0.5M points can be generated in real-time.

The Presence of a line-of-sight(LoS) blockage can degrade the UWB positioning accuracy for two reasons. Firstly, it makes estimation of the time of arrival(ToA) of the direct path signal difficult by complicating the multipath structure of the propagation channel. Secondly, the higher dielectric constant of the LoS blocking material than that of free space introduces excess propagation delay which will bias the range estimation. In this paper, methods based on ray tracing to reduce the ranging error resulting from the second reason are Posed. We take two different approaches; a statistical approach and a map-aided method. In the statistical approach, we establish a conditional distribution of the excess propagation delay caused by LoS blockages using a ray tracing technique. The lo6wer bound of the ranging performance based on this model is estimated. Ine ray tracing method is also used for the map-aided ToA positioning approach. UWB propagation measurement data taken in an office environment is used to examine the performance of this method.
