A Ray-Tracing Pioneer Explains How He Stumbled into Global Illumination

Editor’s note: You might not have heard of ray tracing, but you’ve certainly seen it. The graphics rendering technique mimics the way light works in the real world to create the special effects woven into practically ever modern movie. With the arrival of our RTX real-time ray-tracing technology, we’re working to make this sophisticated technique faster and more accessible, promising to bring cinematic quality to everything from games to product design. Today, we’re sharing a big part of the story of how modern ray tracing came to be from one of its pioneers, J. Turner Whitted. Now with NVIDIA Research, Whitted wrote the seminal paper, “An Improved Illumination Model for Shaded Display,” which serves as part of the foundation for modern ray-traced computer graphics.

Ray Tracing and Global Illumination

As most of us learned in high school physics, ray tracing is an idea that has been around for centuries. Global illumination in computer graphics has a somewhat shorter history.

Early computer graphics shading models proposed by Henri Gouraud and Bui Tuong Phong, among others, computed reflections based on the spatial relationship between light sources and a point on a surface. Somewhat later, Jim Blinn developed a reflection model derived from Ken Torrance’s work describing inter-reflections of the microscopic structures of surfaces. (That model was later expanded by Rob Cook and Ken Torrance himself into the widely used Cook-Torrance shading model.) Shortly thereafter, Blinn and Martin Newell published a paper describing environment mapping, which replaced light sources with a 360-degree texture map of the surrounding environment.

It was this development of environment mapping that caught my attention. The rendering of a shiny teapot with doors and windows reflected from its surface yielded a level of realism that I had never imagined for computer-generated imagery. I stared at the image for hours and wondered how one could ever improve it. Environment mapping did have one huge limitation of not being able to accurately render reflections of objects close to the object being rendered.

An image from Turner Whitted’s 1979 SIGGRAPH paper featured a structure resembling the Bell Labs building in Holmdel, New Jersey, where Whitted’s work was done.

Clearly the effects of Phong’s model are local and Torrance’s model and its derivatives are microscopic in scale. It seemed natural to label Blinn and Newell’s model as “global” in scope. Hence the term “global illumination.” The question then became how to implement it without the limitations of the environment map?

Why Ray Tracing Is a Natural Choice for Global Illumination

Because ray tracing is so incredibly simple, it should have been an obvious choice for implementing global illumination in computer graphics. Ray casting for image generation had been pioneered by Arthur Appel, at IBM, and commercialized by Robert Goldstein and associates, at MAGI. MAGI had originally utilized multi-bounce ray tracing to track radiation within tanks. In my own early career, I had been involved with ocean acoustics and remembered a diagram of ray-traced sound being refracted through varying depths of the ocean and reflected from the surface. Eventually a memory of that diagram popped into my head and it then became clear to me how to improve upon the global illumination method that Blinn and Newell had initiated.

My own hesitation about using ray tracing was simply concern about performance. There has always been a bit of a divide between computer graphics for real-time interaction and graphics for film. General Electric’s lunar landing simulator obviously had to run in real time to train astronauts. This constraint continued with David Evans and Ivan Sutherland’s flight simulators as well as neighboring research at the University of Utah. Henri Gouraud’s smooth shading ran in real time at essentially no cost. A little known chapter in Bui Tuong Phong’s dissertation includes a description of circuitry for real-time shading even though most implementations of Phong shading did not run in real time.

The availability of frame buffers changed the computer graphics landscape dramatically. Rather than attempting to render images at the refresh rate of CRTs, it became possible to render at any speed and view a static image on the screen. Ed Catmull’s subdivision algorithm coupled to a z-buffer could render arbitrarily complex curved surfaces into a frame memory in a matter of minutes rather than milliseconds. Blinn and Newell’s environment mapping required tens of minutes per frame. This trend toward higher realism at slower rates gave me the courage to try something even slower.

Adding Shadows, Refraction

In 1978, the Computer Systems Research Laboratory at Bell Labs was equipped with a Digital Equipment PDP-11/45 minicomputer and a 9-bit per pixel frame buffer. Those resources along with the C programming language were the perfect environment to attempt a ray-tracing improvement to Blinn and Newell’s scheme. (I should’ve read more of Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie’s programming manual before attempting to write my first C program. As a hard-wired assembly language programmer, I didn’t realize that C allowed recursion. Instead, I laboriously instituted my own stack and manually wrote a multi-bounce recursive ray-tracing program without using the recursion provided by the language itself.)

Eventually an image of inter-reflecting spheres showed up on the screen. Both Newell and Frank Crow had included checkerboards in some of their early images and I felt a need to copy them. So far, so good. At this point, tracing additional rays to the light sources was a no-brainer. The resulting shadows cost a bit of time, but the additional coding was minor and the result was worth it.

The minor coding change was to turn a list of rays into a tree of rays. As an electrical engineer and hardware designer with no computer science background, that was a data structure that I had never dealt with. Nevertheless, it worked.

In 1979, Whitted’s groundbreaking, computer-generated image of inter-reflecting spheres illustrated the value of ray tracing for global illumination.

Well, if we could get that far, why not go for broke and add refraction just like we learned in high school physics? That took some work, but the result was stunning.

Adaptive Super-Sampling to the Rescue

As one might imagine, the execution times of these incremental features got out of hand. To estimate the rendering time for each image, I reduced the 512×512 image resolution by a factor of 64 and timed it with a watch. Multiplying the time by 64 gave me a fairly accurate guess for full-resolution rendering. But the jaggies visible at full resolution needed to be eliminated and super-sampling was the only practical approach. The estimated rendering time then expanded by an additional factor of 16 — and panic set in.

I had written a draft of a SIGGRAPH conference submission and was rendering illustrations to be included in the paper. The submission deadline was near, but with 16x super-sampling, the estimated rendering times extended beyond the submission deadline. The spontaneous idea of adaptively super-sampling was a life saver because it only added additional samples where needed. It was implemented within a couple of hours and the paper was edited to include this new idea while the illustrations were being rendered.

At lunch a few months later, a Bell Labs executive asked what it would take to run ray tracing in real time. At the time our new VAX-11/780 was computing each pixel of a simple scene in 1/60th of a second, so I proposed a vast array of Cray supercomputers, one per pixel, with a red, green and blue light bulb on top of each one. That was meant as a joke. It turned out not to be.

Real-Time Ray Tracing

In my original 1979 ray-tracing paper, there is mention of partitioning of tasks among multiple processors. Sometime afterwards I began to hear the term “embarrassingly parallel” in the context of ray tracing. In the original paper there is also a hint of acceleration structures so long as a sphere happens to be contained within another sphere. Within a couple of years, I teamed up with Steve Rubin to apply his idea of hierarchical bounding volumes to ray tracing. It worked nicely and we were able to render scenes more complex than spheres floating over a checkerboard, but it still wasn’t in real time.

Light and shadows: This bottle in a window is taken from a 1980 SIGGRAPH paper that introduced bounding volume hierarchy structures to accelerate ray tracing.

In years to follow, I wrote a couple of illustrative ray tracers as a teaching aid, but basically moved on to other topics. Other researchers, however, had taken up the slack with acceleration techniques that made an impractical algorithm practical. That was accompanied by additional advances that achieved image quality far beyond that demonstrated with spheres and checkerboards.

All of this happened on top of the progression of Moore’s law and the availability of parallel processing. Like a Rip van Winkle in computer graphics, I can wake up nearly 40 years later and see real-time ray tracing as a commodity. How did that happen? Obviously some very bright people put a lot of effort into it.

Skeletal Muscle

Skeletal Muscle Definition

Skeletal muscle is a specialized contractile tissue found in animals which functions to move an organism’s body. Skeletal muscle is comprised from a series of bundles of muscle fibers, surrounded by protective membranes. This arrangement allows skeletal muscle to contract quickly and release quickly without subjecting the individual fibers to too much friction. Skeletal muscle tissue can be found across the animal kingdom, in most multi-cellular forms of life.

Skeletal Muscle Structure

Skeletal muscle is comprised of a series of muscle fibers made of muscle cells. These muscle cells are long and multinucleated. At the ends of each skeletal muscle a tendon connects the muscle to bone. This tendon connects directly to the epimysium, or collagenous outer covering of skeletal muscle. Underneath the epimysium, muscle fibers are grouped into bundles called fascicles. These fascicles are surrounded by another protective covering formed from collagen. The perimysium, as it is called, allows nerve and blood vessels to make their way through the muscle. These structures can be located in the image below.

Each fascicle is formed from tens to hundreds of bundled muscle fibers. Each muscle fiber is formed from a chain of multinucleated muscle cells. These fibers are then protected by another layer called the endomysium as they are bundled into fascicles. Each muscle cell has distinct regions when viewed under a microscope. These are known as sarcomeres, and give skeletal muscle a banded or striated appearance. Each sarcomere is a complex of proteins, which operates to contract the muscle.

Sarcomeres are formed from actin and myosin, as well as a number of associated helper proteins. The filaments seen between the dark bands are actin and myosin filaments. Actin, as seen in the image above, is composed of many units of actin and takes the form of a twisting filament. Actin is accompanied by a number of proteins which help stabilize it and provide a pathway for muscle contraction. The two most important are troponin and tropomyosin. Tropomyosin surrounds the actin filament, and stops the heads of myosin from attaching. Troponin locks tropomyosin in place until receiving the signal to contract. Myosin is a fiber composed of many interlaced tails of individual myosin units. The heads of the units stick above the fiber and are attracted to the actin filament.

Function of Skeletal Muscle

When you want to move your arm, your brain sends a nervous signal through your nerves. The simple act of raising your arm requires many muscles, so the signal is sent down many nerves to many muscles. Each skeletal muscle receives the nervous impulse at neuromuscular junctions. These are places where nerves can stimulate an impulse in a muscle cell. The impulse travels down channels in the sarcolemma, the plasma membrane of skeletal muscle cells. At certain places in the membrane, there are channels that lead inside the cell. These transverse tubules carry the nervous impulse inside the cell. The impulse releases calcium ions from a specialized endoplasmic reticulum, the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These calcium ions active troponin to release from tropomyosin. Tropomyosin can then shift position, allowing the myosin heads to attach to the actin filament.

Once the myosin heads are attached, the ATP available will be used to contract the filament. This is done by each pair of myosin heads slowly crawling down the filament. Energy from ATP is used to move one head, while the other is attached. When many hundreds or thousands of heads are involved, this quickly contracts the sarcomere up to 70% of its original length. As the nervous impulse hits each muscle fiber and muscle at the same time, the arm can lift in a fluid motion. As an added feedback measure, every skeletal muscle has special sensory cells which send feedback to the brain. These cells, called muscle spindles, have specialized proteins which can sense tension. When tension is received by the cell, the cell starts a nervous impulse and sends the signal through neurons to the brain.

By piecing together this complicated framework of inputs and outputs, the brain can sense where the body is in space. The somatic nervous system controls these actions, and allows us to move our body in a coordinated manner. Skeletal muscle is controlled almost exclusively by the somatic nervous system, while cardiac and smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomous nervous system. This system can be easily demonstrated. Close your eyes, then clap your hands together several times. Did your hands meet? This is because your brain has been training in coordination since birth, and recognizes the specific tensions on each muscle as you swing your hands. As you clap, these inputs are monitored and adjustments are made to ensure your hands continue to make contact with each other. The same system is responsible for balance, coordination, and most physical movements.

Skeletal Muscle Location

Skeletal muscle, as the name implies, is any muscles that connects to and controls the motions of the skeleton. In all there are somewhere between 600 and 900 muscles in the human body, but an exact number is hard. Many muscles are obscurely small or are sometimes grouped together with similar muscles. Skeletal muscle is found between bones, and uses tendons to connect the epimysium to the periosteum, or outer covering, of bone.

Skeletal muscle is adapted and shaped in many different ways, which give rise to complex movements. Skeletons are not always internal as they are in humans. Even animals with exoskeletons, like crabs and mussels, have skeletal muscle. While the muscle might be adapted differently depending on the animal, skeletal muscle is defined by its striations and connections to skeleton. Everything from the flapping of a bird’s wings to the crawling of a beetle are carried out by skeletal muscle.

Quiz

1. A very bad doctor is trying to test a patient who is unconscious from a head injury. . The doctor tells the patient to raise his arm. The patient is unable to do so, and the doctor records the response. Why was this an unnecessary test at this point in the patient’s recovery? A. Unconscious patients are notoriously bad listeners B. To control the somatic nervous system, a conscious patient is needed C. No test is a waste of time!

Answer to Question #1

B is correct. The somatic, or voluntary, nervous system is aptly named. To control it, the mind must be in some form of consciousness. Someone who is unconscious does not have control of their skeletal muscle. Therefore, asking them to use their skeletal muscle is a waste of time.

2. Clams have an interesting adaptation to help them survive. Their adductor muscle, which holds their shell shut, is composed of two smaller muscle. One of the muscles is a skeletal muscle, while the other one is a smooth muscle. Why would this be beneficial to a clam? A. Double the muscle, double the power! B. Skeletal muscle can act fast, while smooth muscle can maintain a contraction C. The smooth muscle is used to open the shell, and the skeletal to close it

Answer to Question #2

B is correct. Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle are specialized for different purposes. Skeletal muscle can contract and release quickly, with a lot of energy. Smooth muscle can maintain a contraction for a long period of time. Thus, the clam can quickly close its shell if it senses danger using the skeletal muscle. If the danger lingers, or the clam is out of water, the smooth muscle can hold the shell closed for days before it needs to relax.

3. Stretching before and after a workout is often recommended by trainers. Why is this? A. Stretching helps extend the muscle fibers B. Stretching helps keep tendons elastic C. Both of the above!

Answer to Question #3

C is correct. Stretching is an important aspect of working out. When you contract your skeletal muscles during exercise, you are putting lots of strain on it. The pressure and tension in your muscles can be enormous. Stretching helps counter this by stretching the sarcomeres back to length, releasing tension on tendons, and allowing fluids to circulate to the tissues.

Long run Rifle Scope Technological innovation That's Here Nowadays

termovizní puškohled The next era rifle scope focusing on technological innovation will make genuine existence capturing resemble a video game and result in a groundbreaking re-tooling of the sector. The dimensions of a rifle scope, the ideal site on the gun, the way users situation it for focusing on in entrance of their eye, and its visual sensory field of look at capabilities are all ready to leap frog ahead at cost-effective client selling prices. As a technologist, sports shooter, and hunter I appear at how the standard rifle scope and its user interface has not transformed in style to incorporate any of modern easily obtainable systems. Most shooters I know search at a scope the same way we appeared at a digicam in the 80's. Why really should the human body style alter and why add an Lcd screen? An Liquid crystal display is undoubtedly not as sharp as seeking directly through good quality lenses from distributors like Nikon or Canon. In the solar you can barely see what you are pointing at on a Liquid crystal display display. But these days, every digital camera has a single, even the most high priced ones employed by specialist videographers. In this writer's view, a single day quickly each rifle scope will also. You may well request, "what consumer systems do we have currently that could improve a rifle scope"? The 1st systems that come to head in automating are Liquid crystal display shows, SD card storage, and wi-fi video clip transmission. Other people incorporate micro circuit board digicam IR evening vision and starlight night eyesight. These basically combine engineering with the scope's visible industry. The manipulation of the impression information for determination making is also attainable. I am sure the navy has this these days, but why not Bass Professional Store and Walmart at consumer selling prices? Technology has additional a visual keep an eye on to just about anything more than the previous 20 several years. Who would have imagined in the 1980's that the telephone, camera, and even automobiles would have constructed in Liquid crystal display screens for consumer procedure interfaces. Every thing from a plumber scope that study the insides of your pipes to microscopes now occur with online video capture and Lcd display screen monitors as a regular or optional interfaces. This 12 months Google even unveiled HUD eye eyeglasses which project visual info on the eyeglasses lens for viewing. Electronic cameras ended up a destructive engineering for the traditional camera market. Electronic storage revolutionized the movie marketplace, adjusted the fabricated styles of cameras, and blurred the variance in a movie digicam and nevertheless camera. The similar is close to occurring for the outdated style rifle scope. Changes to the way a scope is employed for targeting could even adjust the fabricated designs of guns. Circuit board cameras can supply high definition movie, IR evening vision, starlight eyesight, and thermal imaging. Focusing on with a regular scope has a human mistake chance called parallax which requires ability to get over. This is a targeting dilemma brought on when the eye is not positioned optimally in the scope's line of sight. Items like Electronic Crosshairs NL scope attachment for working day/night taking pictures gets rid of this when hooked up adequately to the scope. With this new product the human eye is no for a longer time essential to even be positioned powering the scope's eye piece for targeting, the crosshairs are shown on a picatinny rail mounted Lcd. A freshly announced add-on to this product or service will allow the shooter to also transmit the scope's subject of see up to 600 meters wirelessly to a distant viewer. This brought a lot of pleasure when shown at the Gastonia North Carolina 2013 Sniper's Conference in Oct. A repeated comment from SWAT staff customers was that this system showed the commanders what the shooter was viewing so the remaining final decision to shoot could be produced by the command primarily based on are living visible data using wi-fi video transmission, not a verbal description of what the shooter was viewing. Electronic Crosshairs NL would make it simply to boost an current scope to include an Lcd display and IR night eyesight. Other new know-how enabled rifle scopes include the DigieScope DV-Scope which has a developed in two inch Lcd display screen for targeting and the Pulsar Digisight N750 that functions a OLED Monitor for viewing and a designed in variable power laser IR illuminator. It has a 4.5x magnification and a push button electronic zoom which magnifies what you see by one.five occasions. The scope sector like the camera market will resist transforming and a lot of die-tough shooters will insist that their standard scope is greater. Early resistances to harmful technologies that transform a norm commonly fulfill resistance. Would a serious shooter even want a scope that resembled a Gameboy? Would a severe photographer think about a electronic digicam ten years ago? Every thing alterations and the rifle scope will also. Reduced cost electronic parts from China like IR circuit board cameras, tiny LCDs, and new polymer battery technologies will make these inovations low-cost to implement and supply a quality aggressive with the multi thousand dollar higher conclude scopes technological innovation of nowadays.

With this new unit the human eye is no for a longer time needed to even be positioned driving the scope's eye piece for targeting, the crosshairs are shown on a picatinny rail mounted Liquid crystal display. A freshly declared include-on to this item will permit the shooter to also transmit the scope's area of look at up to 600 meters wirelessly to a distant viewer. This brought a whole lot of excitement when exhibited at the Gastonia North Carolina 2013 Sniper's Conference in Oct. A frequent remark from SWAT staff members was that this system confirmed the commanders what the shooter was viewing so the last final decision to shoot could be produced by the command dependent on live visual information using wireless video transmission, not a verbal description of what the shooter was viewing. Electronic Crosshairs NL tends to make it very easily to enhance an current scope to contain an Lcd display screen and IR night eyesight. Other new know-how enabled rifle scopes contain the DigieScope DV-Scope which has a designed in two inch Liquid crystal display display screen for focusing on and the Pulsar Digisight N750 that functions a OLED Display for viewing and a developed in variable power laser IR illuminator. It has a 4.5x magnification and a drive button digital zoom which magnifies what you see by one.5 occasions. The scope industry like the camera business will resist shifting and a whole lot of die-hard shooters will insist that their traditional scope is superior. Early resistances to damaging technologies that transform a norm generally meet resistance. Would a serious shooter even want a scope that resembled a Gameboy? Would a serious photographer think about a digital camera ten a long time ago? Every little thing improvements and the rifle scope will also. Minimal expense electronic elements from China like IR circuit board cameras, smaller LCDs, and new polymer battery systems will make these inovations affordable to put into action and give a top quality competitive with the multi thousand dollar high stop scopes technological innovation of nowadays.

Potential Rifle Scope Know-how That is Below Nowadays

termovizní puškohled The upcoming era rifle scope concentrating on technologies will make genuine daily life shooting resemble a online video recreation and lead to a groundbreaking re-tooling of the sector. The sizing of a rifle scope, the ideal area on the gun, the way customers situation it for concentrating on in front of their eye, and its visible sensory field of watch capabilities are all completely ready to leap frog forward at cost-effective customer rates. As a technologist, sports shooter, and hunter I look at how the traditional rifle scope and its consumer interface has not transformed in style to include any of today's conveniently readily available systems. Most shooters I know seem at a scope the exact same way we looked at a digicam in the 80's. Why must the physique model adjust and why add an Lcd exhibit? An Lcd is definitely not as sharp as seeking specifically by means of quality lenses from sellers like Nikon or Canon. In the sun you can hardly see what you are pointing at on a Liquid crystal display screen. But nowadays, every single camera has 1, even the most costly kinds applied by skilled videographers. In this writer's viewpoint, one particular working day before long each rifle scope will also. You may well check with, "what buyer technologies do we have nowadays that could improve a rifle scope"? The 1st systems that appear to head in automating are Lcd shows, SD card storage, and wireless movie transmission. Other individuals consist of micro circuit board digicam IR evening eyesight and starlight night time eyesight. These just combine technologies with the scope's visual industry. The manipulation of the impression info for final decision making is also feasible. I am certain the armed service has this right now, but why not Bass Professional Store and Walmart at client charges? Know-how has extra a visual keep track of to just about almost everything over the very last 20 a long time. Who would have assumed in the 1980's that the phone, digital camera, and even cars would have created in Lcd screens for person operation interfaces. Anything from a plumber scope that analyze the insides of your pipes to microscopes now arrive with video clip seize and Liquid crystal display screen screens as a typical or optional interfaces. This 12 months Google even unveiled HUD eye glasses which venture visual data on the eyeglasses lens for viewing. Electronic cameras were a destructive technologies for the traditional digital camera marketplace. Electronic storage revolutionized the film market, changed the fabricated shapes of cameras, and blurred the variance in a movie camera and nevertheless digicam. The exact same is shut to going on for the previous fashion rifle scope. Changes to the way a scope is employed for focusing on could even adjust the fabricated styles of guns. Circuit board cameras can give higher definition video, IR evening eyesight, starlight vision, and thermal imaging. Concentrating on with a regular scope has a human mistake chance named parallax which takes talent to get over. This is a concentrating on dilemma induced when the eye is not positioned optimally in the scope's line of sight. Products like Electronic Crosshairs NL scope attachment for day/evening capturing eradicates this when hooked up appropriately to the scope. With this new unit the human eye is no for a longer time needed to even be positioned guiding the scope's eye piece for focusing on, the crosshairs are exhibited on a picatinny rail mounted Lcd. A recently declared insert-on to this solution will empower the shooter to also transmit the scope's discipline of look at up to 600 meters wirelessly to a distant viewer. This brought a great deal of excitement when displayed at the Gastonia North Carolina 2013 Sniper's Meeting in October. A recurrent remark from SWAT group members was that this gadget confirmed the commanders what the shooter was viewing so the ultimate determination to shoot could be designed by the command primarily based on live visible information working with wi-fi movie transmission, not a verbal description of what the shooter was viewing. Electronic Crosshairs NL can make it effortlessly to increase an existing scope to consist of an Liquid crystal display display and IR night time eyesight. Other new know-how enabled rifle scopes include the DigieScope DV-Scope which has a constructed in 2 inch Liquid crystal display display for concentrating on and the Pulsar Digisight N750 that functions a OLED Display for viewing and a designed in variable power laser IR illuminator. It has a 4.5x magnification and a push button digital zoom which magnifies what you see by one.5 occasions. The scope business like the digital camera industry will resist altering and a lot of die-really hard shooters will insist that their standard scope is much better. Early resistances to destructive technologies that modify a norm normally meet resistance. Would a critical shooter even want a scope that resembled a Gameboy? Would a severe photographer contemplate a electronic digicam ten a long time in the past? Every thing changes and the rifle scope will also. Lower expense electronic components from China like IR circuit board cameras, tiny LCDs, and new polymer battery systems will make these inovations cheap to employ and present a quality competitive with the multi thousand greenback large end scopes engineering of nowadays.
