A solution to the hidden surface problem

Martin E. Newell, R. G. Newell, T. L. Sancha · ACM Annual Conference · 1972

Summary

A method for producing half-tone pictures by computer, which works well in most cases, but does not handle all objects correctly, and compares favourably in speed and storage requirements with other published algorithms.
