Proposed Adaptive-Sampling
Raycasting
Algorithm brief description
1) Given the very first enter point corresponding to first cell
2) Calculate the corresponding exit point: calculating the ray’s
possible intersecting points with three hitting- possible
boundary planes, take the point closest to enter pointer as the
exit point, set next cell to which the hit boundary plane
belong, but not covered yet
3) turn the exit point into the enter point for next cell, goto step

Proposed Adaptive-Sampling
Raycasting Solution
Use each pixel’s color channel to for status
checking
Countless loops of analysing, assumption, test,
proof/disproof
