Abstract :
The tool has been tested on several scenes with increasing complexity and the corresponding computational cost has been evaluated, confirming the expected speed and accuracy. The extensive testing has also shown that a deeper optimization of the code can further increase its performances. Improvements are expected by compressing the Beam Output File. While changes to the geometry data structure and to the algorithm for the generation of the beam-tree are being explored to enable the efficient handling of even larger structures as well as an even more effective field calculation scheme.
