  • Converting 3D data to hogel data
    Patent number: 8605081
    Abstract: Methods and systems for rendering hogels, including notifying one or more rendering nodes that all rendering is complete in response to determining that each of the one or more rendering nodes completes rendering of corresponding one or more subsets of hogel data from 3D data, the rendering nodes being configured to convert the 3D data to the one or more subsets of hogel data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 24, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2013
    Assignee: Zebra Imaging, Inc.
    Inventors: Wesley A. Holler, Gary Anthony McElroy, Jr., Michael E. Weiblen, Thomas Lawrence Burnett, III, Mark E. Lucente

  • Rendering 3D Data to Hogel Data
    Publication number: 20100156894
    Abstract: Methods and systems for rendering hogels, including receiving a set of 3D data at a node, the node comprising a graphics processing unit, storing at least a subset of the set of 3D data in a buffer, rendering a first hogel view from the subset of 3D data using the graphics processing unit, and rendering a second hogel view by accessing the stored subset of 3D data using the graphics processing unit, where the rendering of the second hogel view is performed substantially in series to the rendering of the first hogel view.

  • Processing Pre-recorded Hogel Data
    Publication number: 20100156895
    Abstract: Methods and systems for rendering hogels, including causing one or more nodes to each load a subset of a hogel data set into a buffer, the one or more nodes being configured to each store the corresponding subset of the hogel data set, distributing a next hogel data set command to the one or more nodes, causing the buffer to be processed in response to the next hogel data set command, and issuing a hogel data set complete command in response to determining that the one or more nodes each return a hogel data subset complete command.
