draft an outline of an algorithm that performs adaptive subsampling by
tracing first the centers of objects, then the areas between them, to
cast a minimal number of rays. write in comments in rust. it's not a
complex task.

ChatGPT
Certainly! Here's a simple outline of an algorithm in Rust that
performs adaptive subsampling by tracing the centers of objects first
and then the areas between them to cast a minimal number of rays. This
is a basic illustration and can be further optimized for specific use
cases:

rust
Copy code
// Define a struct to represent a point (x, y)
struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

// Define a struct to represent an object with a center and area
struct Object {
    center: Point,
    area: f64,
}

// Define a function to calculate the distance between two points
fn distance(p1: &Point, p2: &Point) -> f64 {
    ((p1.x - p2.x).powi(2) + (p1.y - p2.y).powi(2)).sqrt()
}

// Define a function to perform adaptive subsampling
fn adaptive_subsampling(objects: Vec<Object>, threshold: f64) -> Vec<Point> {
    let mut sampled_points = Vec::new();

    for object in objects.iter() {
        // Trace the center of the object
        sampled_points.push(object.center.clone());

        // Check if the area is larger than the threshold
        if object.area > threshold {
            // Calculate the number of sub-samples based on area
            let num_samples = (object.area / threshold) as usize;

            // Calculate the step size between sub-samples
            let step_size = 1.0 / (num_samples as f64);

            // Trace sub-samples between the center and the object boundary
            for i in 1..num_samples {
                let alpha = i as f64 * step_size;
                let x = object.center.x + alpha * (object.center.x -
object.center.x);
                let y = object.center.y + alpha * (object.center.y -
object.center.y);
                sampled_points.push(Point { x, y });
            }
        }
    }

    sampled_points
}

fn main() {
    // Example usage
    let objects = vec![
        Object {
            center: Point { x: 1.0, y: 1.0 },
            area: 10.0,
        },
        Object {
            center: Point { x: 2.0, y: 2.0 },
            area: 5.0,
        },
    ];

    let threshold = 2.0;

    let sampled_points = adaptive_subsampling(objects, threshold);

    // Do something with the sampled points, e.g., ray casting
    // ...
}
In this outline, we define a Point struct to represent a point in 2D
space and an Object struct to represent an object with a center point
and an area. The adaptive_subsampling function takes a vector of
objects and a threshold value. It traces the center of each object
and, if the object's area is larger than the threshold, it generates
sub-samples between the center and the object boundary based on the
area. Finally, it returns a vector of sampled points that can be used
for further processing, such as ray casting.

That's a reasonable first draft, but I can tell you're still trying to
think about the design. Write a second draft.  To calculate subsample
points, use midpoints between past sample coordinates, and only sample
further if the object ID differs between the points, or if the surface
normal is different enough that the user would notice an artefact.

Certainly! Here's a second draft of the algorithm in Rust that
performs adaptive subsampling using midpoints between past sample
coordinates and only samples further if the object ID differs between
the points or if the surface normal is different enough to avoid
noticeable artifacts:

rust
Copy code
// Define a struct to represent a point (x, y)
struct Point {
    x: f64,
    y: f64,
}

// Define a struct to represent an object with an ID and surface normal
struct Object {
    id: u32,
    surface_normal: f64,
}

// Define a function to calculate the distance between two points
fn distance(p1: &Point, p2: &Point) -> f64 {
    ((p1.x - p2.x).powi(2) + (p1.y - p2.y).powi(2)).sqrt()
}

// Define a function to perform adaptive subsampling
fn adaptive_subsampling(objects: Vec<Object>, max_distance: f64) -> Vec<Point> {
    let mut sampled_points = Vec::new();

    // Initialize the previous sampled point and object ID
    let mut prev_point: Option<Point> = None;
    let mut prev_object_id: Option<u32> = None;

    for object in objects.iter() {
        // Check if there's a previous point
        if let Some(prev) = prev_point {
            // Calculate the midpoint between the previous point and
the current object center
            let midpoint_x = (prev.x + object.center.x) / 2.0;
            let midpoint_y = (prev.y + object.center.y) / 2.0;
            let midpoint = Point {
                x: midpoint_x,
                y: midpoint_y,
            };

            // Check if the object ID differs or the surface normal is
significantly different
            if prev_object_id != Some(object.id) ||
(object.surface_normal - prev_object_id.unwrap_or(0.0)).abs() > 0.1 {
                // Add the midpoint as a sampled point
                sampled_points.push(midpoint.clone());
            }
        }

        // Trace the center of the object
        sampled_points.push(object.center.clone());

        // Update the previous point and object ID
        prev_point = Some(object.center.clone());
        prev_object_id = Some(object.id);
    }

    sampled_points
}

fn main() {
    // Example usage
    let objects = vec![
        Object {
            id: 1,
            surface_normal: 0.0,
            center: Point { x: 1.0, y: 1.0 },
        },
        Object {
            id: 2,
            surface_normal: 0.1,
            center: Point { x: 2.0, y: 2.0 },
        },
        Object {
            id: 1,
            surface_normal: 0.2,
            center: Point { x: 3.0, y: 3.0 },
        },
    ];

    let max_distance = 1.0;

    let sampled_points = adaptive_subsampling(objects, max_distance);

    // Do something with the sampled points, e.g., ray casting
    // ...
}
In this second draft, we calculate the midpoints between past sample
coordinates and only sample further if the object ID differs between
the points or if the surface normal is significantly different. This
approach reduces the number of samples while preserving details where
necessary.
