This is only efficient for a static scene with multiple rays being casted, right? If there is motion, you would need to recalculate the BVH every time step. Does motion make this inefficient?

daria

How are we defining the comparison operation here

ShallowDream

Is it possible to use an arbitrary amount of children?

MrRockefeller

I think the better one should be the one with less branches (entropies) that can lead to every single element, like the concept in decision tree

MrRockefeller

But we need to consider the "density" in the boxes too...like how many triangles per area it has, so I guess the entropy idea isn't the best. I am very curious about this problems' optimized steps.

twizzler

This reminds me a lot of the Barnes-Hutt trick for efficiently computing n-body interactions in space. Was any inspiration taken from that algorithm in making this technique?

Starboy

Is finding a bounding box that is as large as possible always a better choice?

yifanch3

But in this method, how should we control the grain of the smaller cluster box? If we define too many small boxes, would the situation back into normal condition?

air-wreck

Is there a fast way to update the bounding volumes if we add something to the scene?

Oh_skr

Is the right BVH always better? If I know most of the rays in a scene are horizontal, wouldn't the left BVH be better?

dab

The trees shown are always full, is that a property we should try to achieve? In what situation might you want a non-full tree?

abigalekim

are the leaves sorted by pixel order?

embl

When doing motion capture, I see that often the output extension file has .bvh. Does it refer to the BVH introduced in this lecture?

anj

How would we compare one to the other?

Concurrensee

is there possible of duplicated bounding box or other duplicated data? In this case, can we drop some duplicated data to optimize efficiency?

Bellala

What is the work and span of doing such computation?

ant123

What are the benefits of doing one version of volume bounding vs the other?

L1TTLEM4N

What if there are rays coming from other directions? Would that make one better than the other?
