+### Optimization
+
+<br>
+
+Speed comparison between `standard`, `with joblib` and `joblib + CPython`.
+
+FIXME -> table
+
+
+<br>
+
+Cython is Pyhon code which is closer to C. Instead of compiling to Python-Bytecode (`.pyc`), your code will be compiled as C-Extension (`.so`/`.pyd`). 
+
+There are 3 layers of Cython optimization:
+1. Writing in `.pyx` files not `.py` files -> you can just rename your file<br>
+    - +5% to +30% speedup
+2. Set `cdef` for local variables + helper-functions + `cpdef` for API-functions -> add types<br>
+    Example:
+    ```python
+    cdef double x0, y0, dx, dy
+    cdef int cell_x, cell_y, steps
+    ```
+    - +5x to +50x speedup
+3. Add types everywhere, especially in numpy arrays. <br>
+    Example:
+    ```python
+    cimport numpy as cnp
+
+    def trace(..., cnp.ndarray[double, ndim=2] img):
+        cdef double value = img[y, x]
+    ```
+    - +20× to +500×  
+
+
+
+| **Optimization Layer** | **Effort** | **Speedup** | **What It Does** |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **1. `.py` → `.pyx`** | minimal | **+5–30%** | Reduces Python interpreter overhead and applies basic Cython optimizations |
+| **2. `cdef` variables & `cpdef` functions** | medium | **+5×–50×** | Moves loops and math into pure C, eliminating Python object overhead |
+| **3. `cimport numpy` + typed NumPy arrays** | high | **+20×–500×** | Enables direct C‑level memory access with zero Python indexing overhead |
+
+
+
+> Use `pip install cypthon` to install it.
+
+In `setup.py` you need following changes:
+```python
+from setuptools import setup, find_packages, Extension
+from Cython.Build import cythonize
+
+...
+
+ext_1 = Extension(
+    name="img_phy_sim.ray_tracing",

+### Ray-Tracing Formats
+
+<br>
+
+
+**Your current approach (DDA / Pixel Ray Marching)**
+* **Forward integration**: Ray is propagated step by step through a **discrete grid** (pixel/grid).
+* **Collision model**: A "hit" occurs when the ray enters a **wall cell** (quantization).
+* **Reflection**: Occurs **locally at the collision pixel** with a (often quantized) normal/orientation.
+* Result: good for "many rays" / field of view, but **not deterministic with regard to reflection paths** (you need directions/sampling).
+
+**Noise modeling style (image source method / geometric acoustics)**
+* **Path construction**: Reflection paths are constructed **deterministically** via **mirror sources** (virtual sources).
+* **Continuous geometry**: works in $\mathbb{R}^2 / \mathbb{R}^3$ with lines/segments/polygons ("infinity-based" in the sense of *continuous space*, not raster).
+* **Validation**: Path is then accepted/rejected via **visibility/occlusion checks**.
+* Result: Delivers **all specular paths up to order N** without angle sampling.
+
+Short form:
+
+* **Pixel-based + stochastic/directed** (original approach here) vs. **continuous + deterministically constructed** (noise modelling).

+### Optimization

+
+Speed comparison between `standard`, `with joblib` and `joblib + CPython`.

+FIXME -> table
+
+
+<br>
+
+Cython is Pyhon code which is closer to C. Instead of compiling to Python-Bytecode (`.pyc`), your code will be compiled as C-Extension (`.so`/`.pyd`). 
+
+There are 3 layers of Cython optimization:
+1. Writing in `.pyx` files not `.py` files -> you can just rename your file<br>
+    - +5% to +30% speedup
+2. Set `cdef` for local variables + helper-functions + `cpdef` for API-functions -> add types<br>
+    Example:
+    ```python
+    cdef double x0, y0, dx, dy
+    cdef int cell_x, cell_y, steps
+    ```
+    - +5x to +50x speedup
+3. Add types everywhere, especially in numpy arrays. <br>
+    Example:
+    ```python
+    cimport numpy as cnp
+
+    def trace(..., cnp.ndarray[double, ndim=2] img):
+        cdef double value = img[y, x]
+    ```
+    - +20× to +500×  
+
+
+
+| **Optimization Layer** | **Effort** | **Speedup** | **What It Does** |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **1. `.py` → `.pyx`** | minimal | **+5–30%** | Reduces Python interpreter overhead and applies basic Cython optimizations |
+| **2. `cdef` variables & `cpdef` functions** | medium | **+5×–50×** | Moves loops and math into pure C, eliminating Python object overhead |
+| **3. `cimport numpy` + typed NumPy arrays** | high | **+20×–500×** | Enables direct C‑level memory access with zero Python indexing overhead |
+
+
+
+> Use `pip install cypthon` to install it.
+
+In `setup.py` you need following changes:
+```python
+from setuptools import setup, find_packages, Extension
+from Cython.Build import cythonize
+
+...
+
+ext_1 = Extension(
+    name="img_phy_sim.ray_tracing",
+    sources=["img_phy_sim/ray_tracing.pyx"],
+    include_dirs=[],
+    extra_compile_args=["-O3"],
+)
+
+ext_2 = Extension(
+    name="img_phy_sim.math",
+    sources=["img_phy_sim/math.pyx"],
+    include_dirs=[],
+    extra_compile_args=["-O3"],
+)
+

+        compiler_directives={
+            "language_level": "3",

+### Ray-Tracing Formats

+
+
+**Your current approach (DDA / Pixel Ray Marching)**
+* **Forward integration**: Ray is propagated step by step through a **discrete grid** (pixel/grid).
+* **Collision model**: A "hit" occurs when the ray enters a **wall cell** (quantization).
+* **Reflection**: Occurs **locally at the collision pixel** with a (often quantized) normal/orientation.
+* Result: good for "many rays" / field of view, but **not deterministic with regard to reflection paths** (you need directions/sampling).
+
+**Noise modeling style (image source method / geometric acoustics)**
+* **Path construction**: Reflection paths are constructed **deterministically** via **mirror sources** (virtual sources).
+* **Continuous geometry**: works in $\mathbb{R}^2 / \mathbb{R}^3$ with lines/segments/polygons ("infinity-based" in the sense of *continuous space*, not raster).
+* **Validation**: Path is then accepted/rejected via **visibility/occlusion checks**.
+* Result: Delivers **all specular paths up to order N** without angle sampling.
+
+Short form:
+
+* **Pixel-based + stochastic/directed** (original approach here) vs. **continuous + deterministically constructed** (noise modelling).
