TLDR
This work considers intersections between rays and the simplest parametric surface, the bilinear patch, and presents a complete, efficient, robust, and graceful formulation to solve ray-bilinearpatch intersections quickly.Abstract:
Ray tracing and other techniques employ algorithms which require the intersection between a three-dimensional parametric ray and an object to be computed. The object to intersect is typically a sphere, triangle, or polygon but many surface types are possible. In this work we consider intersections between rays and the simplest parametric surface, the bilinear patch. Unlike other surfaces, solving the ray-bilinear patch intersection with simple algebraic manipulations fails. We present a complete, efficient, robust, and graceful formulation to solve ray-bilinear patch intersections quickly. Source code is available online.read more

GPU-only Terrain Rendering for Walk-through
Sunyong Park,Kyoungsu Oh +1 more
TL;DR: The most important contributions are to efficiently deal with arbitrary LOS (Line Of Sight) and dramatically improve visual quality during walk-through by reconstructing a height field with curved patches and a simple and useful method for calculating ray-patch intersections.

Direct Ray Tracing of Displacement Mapped Triangles
TL;DR: An algorithm for ray tracing displacement maps that requires no additional storage over the base model and a special purpose displacement that creates a smooth surface that interpolates the triangle vertices and normals of a mesh is discussed.
