GPU-Based Nonlinear Ray Tracing
In this paper, we present a mapping of nonlinear ray tracing to the GPU which avoids any data transfer back to main memory. The rendering process consists of the following parts: ...

Four-dimensional non-linear ray tracing as a visualization tool for gravitational physics
In this paper, general relativistic ray tracing is presented as a tool for gravitational physics. It is shown how standard three-dimensional ray tracing can be extended to allow f...

Interactive Rendering of Non-Constant, Refractive Media Using the Ray Equations of Gradient-Index Optics
Existing algorithms can efficiently render refractive objects of constant refractive index. For a medium with a continuously varying index of refraction, most algorithms use the r...

Rendering multi-perspective images with trilinear projection
Non-linear projections of 3D graphical scenes can be used to compute reflections and refractions in curved surfaces, draw artistic images in the style of Escher or Picasso, and p...
