Abstract
We present an attempt to improve upon the construction of the most prevalent acceleration structure that is used in ray traced rendering techniques, the Bounding Volume Hierarchy. Our improvement is a novel technique for BVH construction called 'Edge-Based Bounding Volume Hierarchy'. This algorithm uses a hybrid top-down & bottom-up approach to improve performance for raytracing in large scenes, by up to 10x in some scenes.
