  • Multiple Spatial Partitioning Algorithm Rendering Engine
    Publication number: 20120320073
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to rendering a large-scale two-dimensional workspace having embedded, potentially overlapping digital objects. The method entails dynamically creating a plurality of region models based on one or more spatial partitioning algorithms to determine first, what portions of the workspace intersect a globally-defined viewport, and second, to determine what portions of objects are occluded by other objects for efficient rendering.
