Ray-Based Methods for Numerical Simulation and Scientific Visualization, Abstract:
Ray-based methods, such as ray tracing and ray marching, are commonplace in computer graphics and visualization. They also play an important role in scientific simulation, for instance, the simulation of radiation transport for the cosmic reionization problem. Despite the ubiquity of these methods, computational complexity remains an ever-present challenge. For large data, direct volume rendering (DVR) with ray marching and isosurface ray casting are still extremely performance-intensive. For the reionization problem, ray tracing is considered the most accurate numerical method for radiation transport, but also the most computationally expensive. Furthermore, ray-based methods for rendering and computation have traditionally evolved within separate communities, and barriers to communication remain due to differences in convention and nomenclature. In this thesis, I present four ray-based systems. First, for the study of…
