In this paper, we proposed an improved ray tracing method with an amelioration of visible tree structure, a visible face determination method, and non-uniform random test point method. In a proposed visible tree structure, it reduces tree nodes by means of merging similar nodes. In a visible face determination method, it shows that a ray hit test with a packet ray method can reduce a test time. A ray tracing method involving with a packet ray hit test method can improve a tree construction time up to 3.3 times than a ray tracing method with a single ray hit test method. Furthermore, by seeding a non-uniform and random test point on a face, tree construction time is improved up to 1.11 times. Received powers from the proposed ray tracing results and measured results have good agreement with 1.9 dB RMS error.

In this paper we applied a ray tracing method to estimate the scattering characteristics from large scale random rough surfaces. For the electromagnetic field evaluation, we have used the diffracted coefficient of the knife edge diffraction for the diffracted rays and Fresnel's reflection coefficients in connection with reflected rays. In addition, we examine to search for the traced rays using the imaging method which can be obtained all rays to arrived at receivers accurately and the diffracted field from rough surfaces is considered. Numerical examples have been carried out for the scattering characteristics of an ocean wave-like rough surface and delay spread characteristics of a building-like surface. In the present work we have demonstrated that the ray tracing method is effective to numerical analysis of a rough surface scattering.

This paper describes a new method to eliminate the baseline wander for ECG based on waveform morphology analysis. This method uses the descending slope tracing waves[3] to separate the baseline wander from ECG and approximates the separated baseline wander to a corresponding approximated S-waves contour, and finally, subtracts the approximated S-waves contour from the original ECG. To verify its efficacy and validity in practical applications, this method has been applied to MIT/BIH database and compares this method with the other method employing the ascending slope tracing waves to remove a baseline from ECG[4].

In this paper, we designed axis-displaced Gregorian antenna by using Ray-tracing method. This antenna improves gain, VSWR by rotating the axis of the sub-reflector to get rid of E-field wave returned from sub-reflector to feed horn. Therefore it reduce the sub-reflector size and the volume of antenna. This method is used to track the propagation path for radiation pattern of feed horn from feed horn to sub-reflector, main-reflector and air. We get E-field distribution of this antenna aperture and calculate antenna radiation pattern and optimize the antenna performance. The Ray-tracing Method was verified because the gain, radiation patterns, side lobe level, beam width and return loss of the designed antenna are very similar to CST simulation result and a measured result of the fabricated antenna.

The present work covers a new ray tracing scheme of an injection-molded plastic lens linked with finite element analysis fur injection molding processes. The traditional ray tracing schemes have been based on the assumption that optical property of the lens is homogeneous throughout the entire volume. However, this assumption is quite unrealistic for injection-molded plastic lenses since material properties vary at every point due to injection molding effects. In order to consider non-homogeneous property of a lens, a modified ray tracing method is proposed in connection with finite element analysis of injection molding. Through the analysis of the injection molding process, the distribution of refractive indices can be obtained. This information is then utilized in the proposed ray tracing scheme based on finite element meshes so as to take into account variation of the refractive indices. The effect of mold temperature is also investigated through finite element analysis, and the relevant optical quality is evaluated through the proposed ray tracing simulation.

It is one of important issues to find intersection curve? in representation of complex surfaces on a computer. Three typical methods, i.e. the tracing method, the subdivision method, and hybrid method, are often applied to find intersection curves between sculptured surfaces. In this paper two topics are dealt with for efficiency and robustness of the hybrid method. One tropic is about how to determine step sizes variably during tracing, the ethel is about how to find tangential points between surfaces. Tracing by variable step size finds intersections rapidly and requires less memory size. Some illustrations show tangential points between surfaces.

In this paper, we propose a method to eliminate the baseline wander for ECG based on waveform morphology analysis. This method uses the ascending slope tracing waves to approximate the baseline wander in ECG and subtracts these waves from the original ECG to eliminate the baseline wander. This ascending slope tracing waves was developed for efficient enhancement of slope inverting points and sudden slope changing points. This method has been applied to MIT/BIH database to verify its efficacy and validity in practical applications.

The synthesis of the 3D images is the most important part of the virtual reality. The ray tracing is the best method for reality in the 3D graphics. But the ray tracing requires long computation time for the synthesis of the 3D images. So, we implement the ray tracing with software and hardware. Specially we design the hit-test unit with FPGA tool for the ray tracing. Hit-test unit is a very important part of ray tracing to improve the speed. In this paper, we proposed a new hit-test algorithm and apply the parallel architecture for hit-test unit to improve the speed. We optimized the arithmetic unit because the critical path of hit-test unit is in the multiplication part. We used the booth algorithm and the baugh-wooley algorithm to reduce the partial product and adapted the CSA and CLA to improve the efficiency of the partial product addition. Our new Ray tracing processor can produce the image about 512ms/F and can be adapted to real-time application with only 10 parallel processors.

In this study, it was studied about the improved road light design for drivers and pedestrians using ray- or reverse ray-tracing method. Many of conventional road lights are not suitable for drivers and pedestrians because it has some serious problems such as glare effect or randomicity of illuminated areas. It was oriented from customary design method which was pointed at simple target such as luminance or electrical power. But it was not truth any more that the high luminance or electrical power consumption mean more bright and good mad light. We studied ray-tracing method for road light reflector design to get the several goals. It means that good road light has easy for drivers and Pedestrians eyes and illuminating objects on the road clearly. So, we set the design targets such as uniformity on the road area per one road light, shading angles and continuous luminance uniformity on the long distance road. We designed ideal road light conditions using ray-tracing method. We set the height of drivers and pedestrians eyes and calculated design guideline to make above design targets. Then we designed road light reflector using reverse ray-tracing method. And we achieved same luminance on the road almost half power consumption because we reduced loss of light. We achieved ideal design guide as 75 degrees of shading angles and 0.5 of luminance uniformity on the road area. Finally, we suggested reflector design for 250 watts power consumption CDM light source.

In this study, it was studied about the improved road light design for drivers and pedestrians using forward or reverse ray-tracing method. Many of conventional road lights are not suitable for drivers and pedestrians because it has some serious problems such as glare effect or randomicity of illuminated areas. It was oriented from customary design method which was pointed at simple target such as luminance or electrical power. But it was not truth any more that the high luminance or electrical power consumption mean more bright and good road light.

We achieved ideal design guide as 75 degrees of shading angles and 0.5 of luminance uniformity on the road area. It is superior than conventional road light ability such as 0.35 of luminance uniformity of 400 watts power consumption lamp. Finally, we suggested reflector design for 250 watts power consumption CDM Iight source.
