文摘This paper presents an efficient hierarchical occlusion test algorithm to support the global illumination solution such as Ray Tracing and Radiosity. This method, which is based on a cone volume intersection examination, can rapidly remove the irrelevant parts in a scene and find the vertices which fall into the shadow area of a given object. It is an effective alternative to the conventional shadow feeler method.
