The Möller–Trumbore ray-triangle intersection algorithm, named after its inventors Tomas Möller and Ben Trumbore, is a fast method for calculating the intersection of a ray and a triangle in three dimensions without needing precomputation of the plane equation of the plane containing the triangle. [1]
Each pair of parallel planes defines a slab, and the volume contained in the box is the intersection of the three slabs. Therefore, the portion of ray within the box (if any, given that the ray effectively intersects the box) will be given by the intersection of the portions of ray within each of the three slabs. [3]
Rendering of constructive solid geometry is particularly simple when ray tracing. Ray tracers intersect a ray with both primitives that are being operated on, apply the operator to the intersection intervals along the 1D ray, and then take the point closest to the camera along the ray as being the result.
Ray-cast image of idealized universal joint with shadow. Ray casting is the methodological basis for 3D CAD/CAM solid modeling and image rendering. It is essentially the same as ray tracing for computer graphics where virtual light rays are "cast" or "traced" on their path from the focal point of a camera through each pixel in the camera sensor to determine what is visible along the ray in the ...
Cyan line has a single point of intersection. Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space.
Take the intersection point C of the ray OA with the circle P. Connect the point C with an arbitrary point B on the circle P (different from C and from the point on P antipodal to C) Let h be the reflection of ray BA in line BC. Then h cuts ray OC in a point A '. A ' is the inverse point of A with respect to circle P. [4]: § 3.2
Most implementations of the ray casting algorithm consecutively check intersections of a ray with all sides of the polygon in turn. In this case the following problem must be addressed. If the ray passes exactly through a vertex of a polygon, then it will intersect 2 segments at their endpoints. While it is OK for the case of the topmost vertex ...
