Beam tracing is a derivative of the ray tracing algorithm that replaces rays, which have no thickness, with beams. Beams are shaped like unbounded pyramids, with (possibly complex) polygonal cross sections.
Beam tracing is formulated in terms of its principal subprocesses: intersection, sorting, and clipping. A Hierarchical Scene Representation is proposed. This ...
