Ray Tracing Bounding Volume Hierarchies with the Pluecker-AABB Test

Abstract
This report investigates ray tracing with bounding volume hierarchies using the Pluecker-AABB test that was presented in the Journal of Graphics Tools paper titled 'Fast Ray-Axis Aligned Bounding Box Overlap Tests with Pluecker Coordinates.' An efficient scheme for testing a bounding volume s children in the correct order is presented, improving performance by up to 233%. Numerical robustness and BVH construction issues are also discussed.
