| Abstract(in English) | Ray-tracing is one of the rendering methods based on the global illumination model, which is extensively used in the computer graphics. Although it generates photo-realistic images, it requires a large number of computations in the ray-object intersction test. To accelerate the intersection test, a new method based on a plane-sphere intersection algorithm and a hardware system RAPLAS have been proposed. This paper presents hardware implementation of the intersection core, which is the main unit of RAPLAS, using a FPGA. High performance intersection core is implemented by designing a dedicated floating-point calculator using DPS cores. |
