  • Patent number: 11854140
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system for fast generation of ray traced reflections of virtually augmented objects into a real-world image, specifically on reflective surfaces. The system utilizes a standard raster graphics pipeline.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230062294
    Abstract: A path tracing system in which the traversal task is distributed between one global acceleration structure, which is central in the system, and multiple local acceleration structures, distributed among cells, of high locality and of autonomous processing. Accordingly, the centrality of the critical resource of accelerating structure is reduced, lessening bottlenecks, while improving parallelism.

  • Publication number: 20220198740
    Abstract: The present invention teaches a real-time hybrid ray tracing system for non-planar specular reflections. The high complexity of a non-planar surface is reduced to low complexity of multiple small planar surfaces. Advantage is taken of the planar nature of triangles that comprise building blocks of a non-planar surface. All secondary rays bouncing from a given surface triangle toward object triangles keep a close direction to each other. A collective control of secondary rays is enabled by this closeness and by decoupling secondary rays from primary rays. The result is a high coherence of secondary rays.

  • Publication number: 20200240769
    Abstract: A depth or spectral measurement system includes an emission unit that is configured to emit light in a continuous wavelength-encoded light pattern in a continuous wavelength-encoded light pattern in which the emitted light varies with a direction of emission and in which the wavelength of the light that is emitted in each direction of emission is known. A camera is located at a known position relative to the emission unit and is configured to acquire an image of light that is returned by a scene that is illuminated by the wavelength-encoded light pattern. A sensor array of the camera onto which the scene is imaged is configured to enable analysis of the image by a processor of the system to determine a wavelength of light that is returned to the camera by a part of the scene and to calculate a depth of the part of the scene based on the determined wavelength.
