A technique for determining, by tracing imaginary rays of light from the viewer's eye to the objects in a scene, the parts of the scene that should be displayed in the resulting display image. 6, record 1, English, - ray%20tracing

Ray-tracing technique relies on an extremely time-consuming algorithm to compute the reflection and refraction of light from the surfaces of imaginary objects. Basically the computer program traces individual light rays, starting at the viewpoint and passing backward through each pixel in the image plane until the ray hits a surface. The reflected ray is then continued to see if it could have come from a light source, either directly or after reflection from another object. For a transparent surface a second, refracted ray must also be traced. 7, record 1, English, - ray%20tracing

El seguimiento de rayos para la generación de imágenes de ordenador envía rayos luminosos ficticios desde el ojo del espectador hacia la escena que se está representando. El color y la intensidad de la luz en cada punto dependen de la reflectancia de las superficies interceptadas por el rayo a su paso a través de la escena. 1, record 1, Spanish, - seguimiento%20de%20rayos
