Understanding Raycasting Techniques

Ray casting is a technique in 3D computer graphics for determining ray-surface intersections, used for collision detection, hidden surface removal, and volume rendering. It involves casting rays from a viewpoint to find the first object intersected, allowing for efficient rendering and visualization. Applications include video games, simulations, and any scenario requiring realistic 3D interactions.

What is Raycasts and mention it’s uses and how do you make use of it?

[Link]

Ray casting is the use of ray–surface intersection tests to solve a variety of problems in 3D computer
graphics and computational geometry.

Ray casting can refer to a variety of problems and techniques:

the general problem of determining the first object intersected by a ray,[2] as in collision detection

a technique for hidden surface removal based on finding the first intersection of a ray cast from the
eye through each pixel of an image

a non-recursive ray tracing rendering algorithm that only casts primary rays

volume ray casting, a direct volume rendering method in which the ray is "pushed through" the
object and the 3D scalar field of interest is sampled along the ray inside the object. No secondary
rays are spawned in this method.[3]

What are Vector and Raster graphs and mention its differences?

[Link]

Raster graphs are resolution-dependent, hence, it's not possible to increase or decrease their size
without losing image quality.

Vector graphs are not dependent on resolution, the range of vector image can be increased or
reduced without disturbing the image quality.

Raster images are always rectangular in shape

Vector image, can have any shape

vector picture can't be used for realistic pictures.

Raster image can be used for realistic pictures.

vector images are made up of solid-color areas and scientific mathematicalgradients, so they can't
be used to show the continuous tone of colors in a real and natural photograph.
