In this paper we propose a method to estimate sampling artefacts. Using the proposed estimation method we compare different RC algorithms to expose optimal ones in quality-performance criteria.I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]Picture/Image GenerationViewing AlgorithmsI.3.7 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismRaytracingVolume Ray Casting quality estimation in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio
