  • Patent number: 11715262
    Abstract: A method of deferred vertex attribute shading includes computing, at a graphics processing pipeline of a graphics processing unit (GPU), a plurality of vertex attributes for vertices of each primitive of a set of primitives. The plurality of vertex attributes to be computed includes a vertex position attribute and at least a first non-position attribute for each primitive. One or more primitives of the set of primitives that do not contribute to a rendered image are discarded based upon the vertex position attribute for vertices of the set of primitives. A set of surviving primitives is generated based on the culling and deferred attribute shading is performed for at least a second non-position attribute for vertices of the set of surviving primitives.

  • Patent number: 11688087
    Abstract: An encoder is disclosed that uses hyperspectral data to produce a unified three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) scan that incorporates depth for various points, surfaces, and features within a scene. The encoder may scan a particular point of the scene using frequencies from different electromagnetic spectrum bands, may determine spectral properties of the particular point based on returns measured across a first set of bands, may measure a distance of the particular point using frequencies of another band that does not interfere with the spectral properties at each of the first set of bands, and may encode the spectral properties and the distance of the particular point in a single hyperspectral dataset. The spectral signature encoded within the dataset may be used to classify the particular point or generate a point cloud or other visualization that accurately represents the spectral properties and distances of the scanned points.
