This paper proposes a simple marking algorithm for the GPU implementation of hierarchical volumetric fusion. The method is based on multi-level DDA ray-casting. The GPU implementation is of scattering type, but we also show a solution to avoid atomic writes, which improves performance.10.2312/egp.201610419-10
