Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide for accelerated polygon intersection testing of rays against a set of polygons. The amount of computation required in the rendering process is reduced by preprocessing the scene into a data structure that can be more efficiently traversed. During the preprocessing stage, triangles such as triangle may be converted into vertex and edge representation.
