Abstract: A rendering procedure determines that a voting process should be employed during non-geometric rendering when a wide range needs to be searched. During the voting process, a candidate point is initially identified along with a plurality of neighbors. The neighbors' real depth estimates and the deviations of their respective real depth estimates from the candidate point and votes for the real depth estimates are obtained. The minimum deviation among the deviations is identified. Other real depth estimate deviations are compared with the minimum deviation to identify if they lie in a predetermined deviation range. Based on the comparison of the other real depth estimate deviations with the minimum deviation the point to render the pixel is selected.
