Abstract
Provided is an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus may perform an intersection test for rendering of a ray tracing scheme. The image processing apparatus may include a first calculator and a second calculator. The first calculator may perform a ray-plane test to determine whether a ray intersects a plane including a primitive and a barycentric test to determine whether the ray intersects the primitive. The second calculator may calculate a hit point based on the ray which intersects the primitive.
