1. Coherence<br />
• Why? — Object properties, e.g.,<br />
– geometry, color, shading, <strong>and</strong><br />
– visibility situations<br />
often vary smoothly – local similarities<br />
• Utilizing coherence: reuse computations<br />
made for one part of an object for nearby<br />
parts<br />
– without change or<br />
– with only incremental updates<br />
