The present invention refers to a method for determining reflections in complex environments, by means of ray tracing. For ray tracing it is necessary to determine the region of visibility between at least a first reflector and a second reflector by means of the following phases: representing said first and second reflector in a system of coordinates (x,y,z); said method is characterised in that it further comprises the phases of carrying out an affine transformation of said system of coordinates (x,y,z9; determining the region of visibility of said second reflector in relation to said first reflector as the set of the parameters of the strainght lines that link a generic point of said first reflector with a generic point of said second reflector.

Abstract
The present invention refers to a method for determining reflections in complex environments, by means of ray tracing. For ray tracing it is necessary to determine the region of visibility between at least a first reflector and a second reflector by means of the following phases: representing said first and second reflector in a system of coordinates (x,y,z); said method is characterised in that it further comprises the phases of carrying out an affine transformation of said system of coordinates (x,y,z9; determining the region of visibility of said second reflector in relation to said first reflector as the set of the parameters of the strainght lines that link a generic point of said first reflector with a generic point of said second reflector.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
