Abstract :
This work is dedicated to the study of neural network method for solving of ray-tracing task, which appears in 3D visualization algorithms. Physical representation of the task is the problem of finding the nearest point of the "vision" ray crossing with the surfaces of the scene. Application: Real time 3D visualization, rendering of the complex scenes, containing semitransparent, reflecting, diffusive objects, soft shadows and volume light sources.
