SPATIAL TEST OF BOUNDING VOLUMES FOR RASTERIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240112397 titled 'SPATIAL TEST OF BOUNDING VOLUMES FOR RASTERIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a processing system that generates planes in a scene and a bounding volume to partition the scene. A compute unit then performs a spatial test to determine if the bounding volume intersects with the planes, generating intersection data for rendering the scene.

  • Processing system generates planes and bounding volume for scene partitioning
  • Compute unit performs spatial test to check intersection of bounding volume with planes
  • Intersection data is generated to render the scene

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.
