- D.
Scan line algorithm
Attempted by 176 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: Ray tracing algorithm Key idea: Ray tracing computes ray–surface intersections directly and can operate on parametric or implicit descriptions of surfaces, so it handles curved and non-planar patches without first converting them into polygons. Handles curved and non-planar patches directly by solving ray–surface intersections.
