Abstract
A method and an intersection testing module for performing intersection testing in a ray tracing system determines if a difference between an intersection distance at which a ray intersects a first primitive and an intersection distance at which the ray intersects a second primitive satisfies a comparison condition with respect to a threshold, and if the orientations of the first and second primitives are different. If so the intersection of the ray with the one of the first and second primitives which has a particular orientation is selected.
