Claim 22:
23. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 20, wherein the set of instructions, when performed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least:
store a first distance value associated with the first image region before determining the second amount of light;
determine a second distance value after determining the second amount of light when the second image region neighbors the first image region both temporally and spatially, the second distance value being equal to a sum of the first distance value and a distance between a first image location of the first image region and a second image location of the second image region minus any movement occurring between the first and second image regions; and
determine whether to use the at least one visibility parameter to compute one or more lighting effects for a third image region based on a result of a comparison of a distance threshold value and the second distance value.
