Abstract
A method for generating an acceleration structure used for ray tracing includes generating a linear code, the linear code representing a position of each of a plurality of primitives included in a three-dimensional (3D) space, arranging the plurality of primitives according to the generated linear code, determining a rate of change of a size of a generated bounding box while sequentially inputting the plurality of arranged primitives into the generated bounding box, selecting one of the plurality of arranged primitives based on the rate of change of the size of the generated bounding box and classifying the plurality of arranged primitives into a plurality of determined bounding boxes according to the selected primitive.
