  • Patent number: 11631212
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. Aspects of the present disclosure can determine at least one scene including one or more viewpoints. Also, aspects of the present disclosure can divide the at least one scene into a plurality of zones based on each of the one or more viewpoints. Further, aspects of the present disclosure can determine whether a zone based on one viewpoint of the one or more viewpoints is substantially similar to a zone based on another viewpoint of the one or more viewpoints. Aspects of the present disclosure can also generate a geometry buffer for each of the plurality of zones based on the one or more viewpoints. Moreover, aspects of the present disclosure can combine the geometry buffers for each of the plurality of zones based on the one or more viewpoints.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170301134
    Abstract: To allow simple creation of three-dimensional documentation for a utility article (1) made up of multiple parts (T), image parameters (BP) of at least one illustration (A) of the utility article (1) in existing two-dimensional documentation (2) are ascertained, a 3D model (M) of the utility article (1) with the ascertained image parameters (BP) is aligned with the illustration (A), and, based on a comparison of the two-dimensional illustration (A) and of the 3D model (M) to the ascertained image parameters (BP) from the two-dimensional illustration (A), additional information is obtained, which together with the 3D model (M) forms the three-dimensional documentation (10) of the utility article (1).
