Space Time Ray Tracing using Ray Classification
Throughout the history of computer graphics, a very active area of research has been the attempt to create convincing, life-like images. Ray tracing is a technique for generating photorealistic images, and can easily support a wide range of natural phenomenon. However, producing a ray traced image is very expensive; and producing a ray traced animation is often prohibitively expensive. This the...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملX-ray tracing using Geant4
We describe an extension to the Geant4 software package that allows it to be used as a general purpose X-ray tracing package. We demonstrate its use by building a model of the X-ray optics of the XMM-Newton, calculating its effective area, and comparing the results with the published calibration curves.
متن کاملSpecifying Electronic Societies with the Causal Calculator
In previous work [1] we presented a framework for the specification of open computational societies i.e. societies where the behaviour of the members and their interactions cannot be predicted in advance. We viewed computational systems from an external perspective, with a focus on the institutional and the social aspects of these systems. The social constraints and roles of the open societies ...
متن کاملThe Ray Tracing Kernel
ion de nes an object which is a procedural entity capable of a small number of elementary operations. Objects and Object Classes Within the kernel, an object is a data abstraction for geometrical entities and operations. Figure 1 shows the routines which are required to de ne a parametric family of objects, or an object class. Each of these routines accepts a pointer to class-speci c data, or p...
