=title=
Depth of Field Simulation in Ray-Traced Images
=abstract=
Images ray-traced using the pinhole-camera-model show all objects of the
scene in focus. This is rarely the case with real lenses. Therefore,
adding depth of field to such images increases the degree of realism.
Adding DoF to ray-traced images is a very computationally intensive task
in itself, usually performed while ray-tracing the image..     We
propose a post-processing approach to the simulation of depth of field
in ray-traced images. The  POV-Ray ray-tracer was modified to generate a
depth map which was then used to check the postprocessor.
