Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for rendering anti-aliased paths by first generating an alpha buffer representing coverage data. To generate the alpha buffer, jittered versions of the rendered path are rendered and corresponding stencil buffers indicating sub-pixel samples of the path that should be covered are generated. After each stencil buffer is generated, the jittered path is rasterized to convert the sub-pixel coverage into coverage weights that are stored in the alpha component of a frame buffer. As each jittered path is rasterized, the coverage weights are accumulated. Finally, geometry representing the union of the jittered versions of the path is rendered to shade pixels based on the accumulated coverage weights. The anti-aliased rendered paths may be filled or stroked without tessellating the paths.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for automatic clustering and rendering of augmentations into one or more operational exemplars in an augmented reality environment. In some examples, based on a user's context, augmentations can be retrieved, analyzed, and grouped into clusters. Exemplars can be used to render the clusters as conceptual representations of the grouped augmentations. An exemplar's rendering format can be derived from the grouped augmentations, the user's context, or formats of other exemplars. Techniques for grouping the augmentations into clusters and rendering these clusters as exemplars to a user can enhance the richness and meaning of an augmented reality environment along contextually or user-determined axes while reducing the sensorial and cognitive load on the user.

Abstract: A surface of a product is divided into a plurality of patches and a polygon mesh is formed. Sequences of vertexes on borderlines between the adjacent patches are allowed to correspond to each other, and then, a texture is mapped on each of patch units. The vertexes of the polygon mesh displaced in accordance with the mapped texture are connected together to form crimp applied polygon data for each of the patch units. In each of processing stages, since data to be processed can be limited to data of the two adjacent patches at the maximum, a practicable range of a computer is not exceeded due to the restriction of capacity of an operation memory.

Abstract: According to an example computer-implemented method, user input is received indicating N regions within a data range of a data variable, where N is greater than or equal to three. A slide control is displayed representing the data range and the regions within the data range. The slide control includes N?1 sliders, with each slider representing a boundary between two of the regions. Responsive to movement of a selected slider, its associated boundary is reset. A determination is made of which one of the regions within the data range a received data variable value falls within. Based on the determination and the boundaries, the following items are displayed separately from the slide control: a graph of the data range that indicates which region the received data variable falls within, and a percentage value that indicates where the received data variable value falls within the data range.

Abstract: A method and device for determining at least one set of matching attributes between a plurality of images is disclosed. Two dimensional images are projected to a three dimensional space then searched for matching attributes. Searching for corresponding attributes is much easier and computationally less intensive in the 3D space compared to a search in the 2D space. The method includes steps of projecting at least part of the images of said plurality to a 3-dimensional space resulting in a plurality of 3-D projected images (image1_3D, image2_3D), searching for at least one corresponding set of elements within the 3D projected images of the plurality of 3-D projected images, and calculating back said corresponding elements within the original images of the plurality and providing said corresponding elements within said original images as said at least one set of matched attributes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for generating textured graphics includes identifying border colors of pixels around two texture images and generating arrangements of border texels from the border colors that are positioned next to the two images in a texture atlas. The method includes generating mip-maps of the texture atlas with texels in the jump level assigned with the border color of the corresponding textures in the full-resolution texture atlas instead of the averaged color of the textures that would be assigned using a traditional mip-map process. The method includes storing the texture atlas including the two texture images and the border texels in a memory for use in generating repeated textures on an object in a virtual environment using at least one of the texture images with a mip-map without seam artifacts between the repeated textures.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a given frame or picture may have different shading rates. In one embodiment in some areas of the frame or picture the shading rate may be less than once per pixel and in other places it may be once per pixel. Examples where the shading rate may be reduced include areas where there is motion and camera defocus, areas of peripheral blur, and in general, any case where the visibility is reduced anyway. The shading rate may be changed in a region, such as a shading quad, by changing the size of the region.
