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]
CSG objects can be represented by binary trees, where leaves represent primitives, and nodes represent operations. In this figure, the nodes are labeled ∩ for intersection, ∪ for union, and — for difference. Constructive solid geometry (CSG; formerly called computational binary solid geometry) is a technique used in solid modeling.
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.

Determination of the intersection of flats – linear geometric objects embedded in a higher-dimensional space – is a simple task of linear algebra, namely the solution of a system of linear equations. In general the determination of an intersection leads to non-linear equations, which can be solved numerically, for example using Newton ...
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
The intersection of a ray of light with each plane is used to produce an image of the surface. In vision-based 3D reconstruction , a subfield of computer vision, depth values are commonly measured by so-called triangulation method, which finds the intersection between light plane and ray reflected toward camera.
A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).
A vertex of an angle is the endpoint where two lines or rays come together. In geometry, a vertex (pl.: vertices or vertexes) is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet or intersect.
