Abstract
A raycaster performs a raycasting algorithm, where the raycasting algorithm takes, as an input, a sparse hierarchical volumetric data structure. Performing the raycasting algorithm includes casting a plurality of rays from a reference point into the 3D volume, and, for each of the plurality of rays, traversing the ray to determine whether voxels in the set of voxels are intersected by the ray and are occupied, where the ray is to be traversed according to an approximate traversal algorithm.
