Abstract:
This paper is devoted to a designer tool, which is an extension of particle
tracing algorithm for analysis of scenes, artifacts, image ghosts, and
ray-tracing mechanism itself. The global illumination problem here is
considered at the level of light propagation visualization, which takes into
account all cognitive benefits of visual representation. Physically accurate
particle tracers randomly generate thousands of rays per second to simulate
light propagation in a scene considering light as consisting of photons with a
constant energy. The proposed tool utilizes and filters the information of how
light photons propagate in the scene. Several examples in the paper demonstrate
a practical value of obtained photon tracks for scene analysis.
