  • Patent number: 12266047
    Abstract: Methods and intersection testing modules are provided for determining, in a ray tracing system, whether a ray intersects a 3D axis-aligned box representing a volume defined by a front-facing plane and a back-facing plane for each dimension. The front-facing plane of the box which intersects the ray furthest along the ray is identified. It is determined whether the ray intersects the identified front-facing plane at a position that is no further along the ray than positions at which the ray intersects the back-facing planes in a subset of the dimensions, and this determination is used to determine whether the ray intersects the axis-aligned box. The subset of dimensions comprises the two dimensions for which the front-facing plane was not identified, but does not comprise the dimension for which the front-facing plane was identified.
