Using Temporary Explicit Meshes for Direct Flux Calculation on Implicit Surfaces
چکیده انگلیسی

We focus on a surface evolution problem where the surface is represented as a narrow-band level-set and the local surface speed is defined by a relation to the direct visibility of a source plane above the surface. A level-set representation of the surface can handle complex evolutions robustly and is therefore a frequently encountered choice. Ray tracing is used to compute the visibility of the source plane for each surface point. Commonly, rays are traced directly through the level-set and the already available (hierarchical) volume data structure is used to efficiently perform intersection tests.We present an approach that performs ray tracing on a temporarily generated explicit surface mesh utilizing modern hardware-tailored single precision ray tracing frameworks. We show that the overhead of mesh extraction and acceleration structure generation is compensated by the intersection performance for practical resolutions leading to an at least three times faster visibility calculation. We reveal the applicability of single precision ray tracing by attesting a sufficient angular resolution in conjunction with an integration method based on an up to twelve times subdivided icosahedron.
