Ray casting is a rendering technique used in computer graphics and computational geometry. It is capable of creating a three-dimensional perspective in a two-dimensional map. Developed by scientists at the Mathematical Applications Group in the 1960. it is considered one of the most basic graphics-rendering algorithms. Ray casting makes use of the same geometric algorithm as ray tracing. Advantage: Ray casting is fast, as only a single computation is needed for every vertical line of the screen. Compared to ray tracing, ray casting is faster, as it is limited by one or more geometric constraints. his is one of the reasons why ray casting was the most popular rendering tool in early 3-D video games.

The document discusses prototyping techniques for software development. It defines prototyping as an essential element of user-centered design that involves testing design ideas with users early in the development process. Different types of prototyping are appropriate for different stages, from paper-based prototypes to test initial ideas to software-based prototypes that provide limited functionality for further testing. The goal of prototyping is to identify and address design errors and user requirements before significant development effort.

This document discusses image segmentation techniques, specifically linking edge points through local and global processing. Local processing involves linking edge-detected pixels that are similar in gradient strength and direction within a neighborhood. Global processing uses the Hough transform to link edge points into lines by mapping points in the image space to the parameter space of slope-intercept or polar coordinates. Thresholding in parameter space identifies coherent lines composed of edge points. The Hough transform allows finding lines even if there are gaps or other defects in detected edge points.

The document discusses human-computer interaction in the software engineering process. It describes the typical lifecycle of software development, including requirements specification, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. For interactive systems, a linear waterfall model is not suitable due to the need for extensive user testing and feedback. Usability engineering aims to make usability measurable by specifying requirements. Iterative design and prototyping help overcome incomplete requirements through simulations and prototypes to gather user feedback. Design rationale records the reasons for design decisions to aid communication, reuse of knowledge, and evaluation of tradeoffs.
