Title: Coarse depth test in graphics processing systems
Inventor: LORENZO BELLI
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2019-06-19
Abstract: Coarse depth testing a rendering space subdivided into tiles comprises receiving primitives for a tile (1202) and obtaining the tile’s depth range (1204), the range based on previously processed primitives. For a primitive in the set (1206), it is determined whether all or a portion (i.e. that within the tile) is hidden (1208) in the tile based on the tile’s depth range. If hidden (i.e. it’s further than the max distance in the range), full resolution depth testing is not performed on it - it’s abandoned (1210) as it’s behind another primitive. In response to determining that at least a portion of the primitive is not hidden (i.e. it’s nearer than the furthest distance in the range), it is determined (1212), based on the depth range for the tile, whether the primitive, or primitive fragment(s) generated therefrom, has better (i.e. nearer) depth than the primitives previously processed for the tile according to a depth compare mode, and in response to determining that the primitive (or fragment) has better depth, the primitive (or fragment) is identified as not requiring a depth buffer read to perform full resolution depth testing (1216) (as it’s in the front).
