摘要
We present a comparison between the modified Monte Carlo algorithm (MMCA) and a recently proposed ray-tracing algorithm named as photon-tracing algorithm. Both methods are compared exhaustively according to error analysis and computational costs. We show that the new photon-tracing method offers a solution with a slightly greater error but requiring from considerable less computing time. Moreover, from a practical point of view, the solutions obtained with both algorithms are approximately equivalent, demonstrating the goodness of the new photon-tracing method.
