Patent number: 10943384Abstract: Example systems and related methods relate to rendering using smooth shading. A computing device can receive information about an image, the information including one or more patches, where a particular patch of the one or more patches is specified using a plurality of non-linear equations. The computing device can determine one or more linear approximations to a particular non-linear equation of the plurality of non-linear equations. The computing device can update the particular patch to replace the particular non-linear equation with at least one linear approximation of the one or more linear approximations. The computing device can render at least part of the image by at least rendering the updated particular patch.

Patent number: 10540788Abstract: Methods and apparatus for radial gradient rendering are provided. A graphics computing device can include a radial gradient module (RGM), which can include circuitry for radial gradient rendering. The RGM can receive one or more parameters associated with rendering at least a portion of an image utilizing radial gradient rendering. The RGM can map one or more input coordinates of the image to one or more source domain coordinates. The RGM can determine a t-value for the source domain coordinates, the t-value specifying an ellipse in the source domain whose edge includes the source domain coordinates. The RGM can determine a color value for the input coordinates based on the specified ellipse. The RGM can generate an output that is based on the color value.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: KYOCERA DOCUMENT SOLUTIONS INC.Inventors: Dongpei Su, Christa Neil, Yuzuru Naganuma, Kendrick Wong, Donald Han, Kenneth A.

Patent number: 8314951Abstract: An image processing apparatus contains an alpha-blend execution unit and a storage device management unit. The alpha-blend execution unit allocates a memory area in a main memory for an alpha-blend execution to compose transparency properties and carries out the alpha-blend execution in a process to convert a page description language data to an image. The page description language data contains a drawing object having a transparency property and a canvas having a transparency property. The drawing object is drawn on the canvas. The storage device management unit evacuates a memory-image of the canvas in the memory area from the main memory to an auxiliary memory, and reads back the memory-image of the canvas from the auxiliary memory to the main memory when the memory-image of the canvas is required for the alpha-blend execution.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Kyocera Document Solutions Inc.Inventors: Yuzuru Naganuma, Yoshinori Minakata
