Fast Ray Tracing Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2008-09-02)In the past, ray tracing has been used widely in offline rendering applications since it provided the ability to better capture high quality secondary effects such as reflection, refraction and shadows. Such effects are ... -
Hybrid Spectral Ray Tracing Method for Multi-scale Millimeter-wave and Photonic Propagation Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2011-10-04)This thesis presents an efficient self-consistent Hybrid Spectral Ray Tracing (HSRT) technique for analysis and design of multi-scale sub-millimeter wave problems, where sub-wavelength features are modeled using rigorous ... -
Modelling Acoustic Propagation with Dominant Paths
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-15)Hearing is one of our major senses. In addition to being, arguably, our primary form of communication, it affects how we perceive the world around us. Accurate acoustic simulation can complement graphical simulation systems, ... -
A Practical Walk-on-Boundary Method for Boundary Value Problems
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-08)We introduce the walk-on-boundary (WoB) method for solving boundary value problems to computer graphics. WoB is a grid-free Monte Carlo solver for certain classes of second order partial differential equations. A similar ...
