METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTION OF RENDERING MODES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18245847 Titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTION OF RENDERING MODES'

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about graphics processing and an apparatus that can determine visibility streams for a target and a set of bins. It can select between two rendering modes for the target based on these visibility streams. If the first rendering mode is selected, the apparatus will configure the bins into subsets associated with different rendering passes. Finally, the target will be rendered based on the selected rendering mode and, if applicable, the rendering pass type.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to graphics processing. An apparatus of the present disclosure may determine visibility streams corresponding to a target and a set of bins into which the target is divided. The apparatus may select one of a first rendering mode or a second rendering mode for the target based on the first visibility stream and based on the set of second visibility streams. When the first rendering mode is select, the apparatus may configure each of the set of bins into a first subset associated with a first type of rendering pass or a second subset associated with a second type of rendering pass. The apparatus may then render the target based on the selected one of the first rendering mode or the second rendering mode and, if applicable, based on the first rendering pass type or the second rendering pass type.
