Abstract: Datasets such as two dimensional raster images or three dimensional voxel based representations are often processed for representation using a transfer function defined by a curve. A mechanism for manually adjusting such curves is described, whereby a user adds a second curve. The transfer curve is recalculated so as to draw closer to the second curve. By drawing the second curve in the shape required for the transfer curve, and repeating this gesture as the transfer curve evolves, the user can subtly and interactively develop the transfer curve until the processed representation is exactly as required. The attractive effect of the points of the first curve on those of adjacent point on the first curve and on those of the second may be attractive or repellent, may vary in any manner as a function of distance, and in particular may imitate the effects of physical forces such as magnetic, elastic, etc.

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.

Abstract: To organize configuration parameters for rendering map features on digital maps, a data structure storing multiple nodes is generated. Respective sets of map feature attributes and configuration parameters are assigned to the nodes. The configuration parameters specify visual attributes for rendering map features. Indications of relationships between the nodes are generated, where at least several of the nodes include several child nodes. An indication of one or more map feature attributes to which a certain map feature belongs is received, and the data structure is traversed according to the indicated relationships between the nodes to generate a set of configuration parameters for rendering the map feature. Traversing the data structure includes comparing the indicated map feature attribute or map feature attributes to sets of map feature attributes at some of the nodes, such that the generated set of configuration parameters includes configuration parameters from at least two of the nodes.

Abstract: This disclosure describes examples of using two vertex shaders each one during different graphics processing passes in a binning architecture for graphics processing. A first vertex shader processes subset of attributes of a vertex in a binning pass, where the subset of attributes include those that contribute to visibility determination and attributes that may benefit from being processed with a vertex shader that provides functional flexibility. A second, different vertex shader processes another subset of attributes of the vertex in the rendering pass.
