Julius Ikkala: Improving 3D computer graphics performance by decoupling data structures from viewing direction

Julius Ikkala

This dissertation introduces several world-coordinate–based data structures as improvements over traditional screen-space methods. By storing information in a global 3D representation of the virtual environment rather than per view or pixel, the research enables more efficient and scalable 3D graphics performance.

The doctoral dissertation of M.Sc. (Tech.) Julius Ikkala in the field of Computer Science titled View-Independent Methods for Photorealistic Real-Time Multi-View Ray Tracing will be publicly examined at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Tampere University on Friday 22.5.2026.

The Opponent will be Professor Jiří Bittner from Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic. The Custos will be Professor Pekka Jääskeläinen, head of Customized Parallel Computing research group.

The doctoral dissertation is available online
