Though it may be counter-intuitive, receivers are often light sources, |
| 140 |
|
since samples end up there in a backwards ray-tracing system such as RADIANCE. |

When using local geometry, the overall aperture shape should be close to flat. |

Large displacements may give rise to errors due to a convex receiver's |

larger profile at low angles of incidence. |

Rays always eminate from the back side of the sender surface and arrive at the |

front side of receiver surfaces. |
