    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-down/shoot-down

    Look-down/shoot-down radars have been enhanced with electronic programs that process the radar image and search for moving objects, which are detected by looking for Doppler shifts in the radar return. See moving target indication. The radar removes all stationary objects (e.g. the ground and buildings) from the display and shows only moving ...

    Principles. In ray tracing, rays are often modeled as geometric ray with no thickness to perform efficient geometric queries such as a ray-triangle intersection.From a physics of light transport point of view, however, this is an inaccurate model provided the pixel on the sensor plane has non-zero area.
