摘要:
Hierarchical bounding of displaced parametric surfaces may be a very common use case for tessellation in interactive and real-time rendering. An efficient normal bounding technique may be used, together with min-max mipmap hierarchies and oriented bounding boxes. This provides substantially faster convergence for the bounding volumes of the displaced surface, without tessellating and displacing the surface in some embodiments. This bounding technique can be used for different types of culling, ray tracing, and to sort higher order primitives in tiling architectures.
摘要:
A method for improving performance of generation of digitally represented graphics. The method comprises: receiving a first representation of a base primitive; providing a set of instructions associated with vertex position determination; executing said retrieved set of instructions on said first representation of said base primitive using bounded arithmetic for providing a second representation of said base primitive, and subjecting said second representation of said base primitive to a culling process. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also presented.
摘要:
A compressor for compressing a block of feature vectors representing a feature associated with image elements, includes electronic circuitry for determining the distribution of the feature vectors, electronic circuitry for transforming each point pattern in a predetermined set of point patterns to fit the determined distribution, and a selector for selecting a transformed point pattern that best fits the determined distribution. Furthermore, an encoder represents the block of feature vectors by an identifier identifying the selected point pattern in the set of point patterns, parameters representing the transformation associated with the selected point pattern, and an index for each feature vector representing the nearest point in the transformed selected point pattern.

摘要:
A computer graphics processor (20,50) and a method for rendering a three-dimensional image on a display screen. The computer graphics processor (20,50) comprises a rasterizer (23,53) configured to perform pixel traversal of a primitive after projection of the primitive. Furthermore, the rasterizer (23,53) is configured to perform the pixel traversal of a first primitive for a plurality of views prior to performing pixel traversal of a next primitive for one or several views.
