  • Mitigation of disocclusion artifacts
    Patent number: 10121266
    Abstract: Image based imposters suffer from common errors called disocclusion artifacts where portions of the scene that should be occluded by real geometry are visible when using image based imposters. These artifacts are the result of parallax error created by camera motion where regions of a mesh that were not visible at the time of imposter generation have become visible. A computationally inexpensive on-line technique to resolve these disocclusions stretches existing imposter texture information over new geometry bridging the gap between imposters.
