Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for texture space shading. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: performing texture mapping to map one or more textures to surfaces of one or more objects in texture space within a ray tracing architecture; and performing sampling and reconstruction directly on the surfaces of the objects in the texture space.

Abstract: Two sets of image data, a first image and a second image, are prepared as image data. If image controlling information is received, an image setting controlling section determines, on the basis of this information, area dividing information which allocates one of the first image and the second image to each of the areas into which an image plane is divided in the same coordinate system. A decoding section decodes the two sets of image data for the respective first and second image that were loaded into a main memory, determines which image data to adopt for each pixel based on the area dividing information, and writes the adopted image data to a buffer memory. The decoding process and writing process are carried out in tile image units of a predetermined size using a working memory.

Abstract: A tiling unit assigning primitives to tiles in a graphics processing system which has a rendering space subdivided into a plurality of tiles. A primitive is assigned to a tile by including a primitive ID of the primitive in a display list for the tile. If a primitive, or a mesh of primitives entirely covers a tile such that all of the previous primitives in the tile are obscured (i.e. hidden) then a start pointer of the display list can be moved to thereby skip the obscured primitives. In this way, a hidden surface removal (HSR) module will not fetch the primitives which would ultimately be hidden by the primitive or the mesh which entirely covers the region. This method therefore reduces the number of primitives which are fetched by the HSR module.

Abstract: A projector includes, a projecting unit that converts image data into light and projects the light at a predetermined angle of view, a projecting direction changing unit that changes the projecting direction of the projecting unit from a first projecting direction to a second projecting direction, a projection angle derivation unit that derives a projection angle between the first projecting direction and a projecting direction after changed, and an image cutting out unit that generates cut-out image data that a part of a region of an image of the inputted image data is cut out based on the angle of view and the projection angle as image data to be projected, when the projecting unit projects the image of the inputted image data stored on the storage unit across the first projecting direction and the second projecting direction.

Abstract: Portable globes may be provided for viewing regions of interest in a Geographical Information System (GIS). A method for providing a portable globe for a GIS may include determining one or more selected regions corresponding to a geographical region of a master globe. The method may further include organizing geospatial data from the master globe based on the selected region and creating the portable globe based on the geospatial data. The portable globe may be smaller in data size than the master globe. The method may include transmitting the portable globe to a local device that may render the selected region at a higher resolution than the remainder of the portable globe in the GIS. A system for providing a portable globe may include a selection module, a fusion module and a transmitter. A system for updating a portable globe may include a packet bundler and a globe cutter.

Abstract: Methods and systems of editing an electronic geometric model are disclosed. The method includes receiving a first indication which indicates that a portion of the polygonal data is to be modified, and moving a first vertex of the plurality of vertices from a first subdivision position defined by a subdivision algorithm to a second position. The movement of the first vertex from the first subdivision position to the second position results in a modification of the polygonal data. The method also includes generating a first vector identifying the movement of the first vertex from the first subdivision position to the second position, which first vector is defined by an initial point at the first subdivision position of the first vertex and a terminal point at the second position of the of the first vertex, and associating the first vector with the subdivision position of the first vertex.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for a method for processing textures for a mesh comprising quadrilateral polygons for real-time rendering of an object or model in a graphics processing unit (GPU), comprising associating an independent texture map with each face of the mesh to produce a plurality of face textures, packing the plurality of face textures into a single texture atlas, wherein the atlas is divided into a plurality of blocks based on a resolution of the face textures, adding a border to the texture map for each face comprising additional texels including at least border texels from an adjacent face texture map, and performing linear interpolation of a trilinear filtering operation on the face textures to resolve resolution discrepancies caused when crossing an edge of a polygon.
