Interval Methods for Ray Casting Implicit Surfaces with Affine Arithmetic (1999)(Make Corrections)(5 citations) Affonso de Cusatis Junior, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, Marcelo Gattass
Abstract: . We study the performance of affine arithmetic as a replacement for interval arithmetic in interval
methods for ray casting implicit surfaces. Affine arithmetic is a variant of interval arithmetic designed to handle
the dependency problem, and which has improved several interval algorithms in computer graphics.
Keywords: image synthesis; root location; interval arithmetic; range analysis; self-validated computing.
