  • Gradient approximation filtering mechanism
    Patent number: 11120620
    Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate variable rate shading is disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more processors to generate a course pixel output value for a pixel block, generate a gradient value comprising a gradient of the course pixel output value using neighbor pixel data and process the pixels in the pixel block using the gradient value to generate a fine pixel value for one or more pixels.
    Type: Grant
