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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. The apparatus can determine geometry information for each of a plurality of primitives associated with a viewpoint in a scene. The apparatus can also calculate at least one of surface information and disocclusion information based on the geometry information for each of the plurality of primitives, where the surface information and the disocclusion information may be associated with a volumetric grid based on a viewing area corresponding to the viewpoint. Also, the apparatus can calculate visibility information for each of the plurality of primitives based on at least one of the surface information and the disocclusion information, where the visibility information may be associated with the volumetric grid. The apparatus can also determine whether each of the plurality of primitives is visible based on the visibility information for each of the plurality of primitives.

Abstract: A system utilizing specified occlusion techniques to reduce the overall amount of occlusion computations required to generate an image in a changing viewpoint environment. Viewpoint location changes about a current viewpoint can result in a different image view with the potential exposure of previously occluded portions of a scene image that would now be now visible from that new viewpoint location. To reduce the amount of occlusion computations required to render an associated image in a changing viewpoint environment, techniques are described that reduce occlusion computations using, for example, one or more trim region rendering techniques. Some techniques include generating potential visible set (PVS) information based on a viewport including an original viewpoint location and an anticipated change in viewpoint location.
