Notes
-
Use of "non-linear" rays: when the index of refraction varies
continuously.
-
Use the basic eqns from geometrical optics (a first in Graphics !) to
model the propagation of rays in a medium with varying index of
refraction --> ray tracing.
-
Model fluctuations of the index of refraction as a superposition of
"blobs" and a stochastic function; for each case they derive
an efficicient implementation using a perturbation technique -->
stochastic model for the deviations of the rays.
