SPATIAL TEST OF BOUNDING VOLUMES FOR RASTERIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957565 titled 'SPATIAL TEST OF BOUNDING VOLUMES FOR RASTERIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that processes scene descriptions by generating a set of planes in the scene and a bounding volume representing a partition of the scene. A compute unit then performs a spatial test on the bounding volume to determine if it intersects with the planes in the scene, generating intersection data for rendering the scene.
- System for processing scene descriptions and generating intersection data

Original Abstract Submitted
In response to receiving a scene description, a processing system generates a set of planes in the scene and a bounding volume representing a partition of the scene. Using the set of planes in the scene, a compute unit of an accelerated processing unit performs a spatial test on the bounding volume to determine whether the bounding volume intersects one or more planes of the set of planes in the scene. Based on the spatial test, the compute unit generates intersection data indicating whether the bounding volume intersects one or more planes of the set of planes in the scene. The accelerated processing unit then uses the intersection data to render the scene.
