Project: Lipschitz versus interval arithmetic in ray tracing implicits

Description

In this thesis the Lipschitz approach and interval arithmetic approach to ray tracing implicit surfaces are compared. This comparison has been described as future work by Andrew et al. in [Guy98]. The methods are compared on the following:
• The pruning of space. This is an important measure to compare both methods as it reduces the amount of computation that takes place in ray tracing.
• The total time required to generate an image. We also show where the most time in finding ray-surface intersection is spent using different blobtree models.
