Title: Hidden surface removal in graphics processing systems
Inventor: HEGGELUND FRODE
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2014-03-17
Abstract: In a graphics processing pipeline 1, a primitive depth sorting stage 9 is arranged prior to the rasterisation stage 3 and rendering stage 6.The primitive depth sorting stage 9 operates to sort successive sub-sets of primitives in a stream of primitives 2 received by the graphics processing pipeline 1 based on their depth values. The so-sorted primitives are then output from the primitive depth sorting stage 9 in their sorted depth order to the rasteriser 3.This makes the depth test stages 4 of the graphics processing pipeline 1 more efficient in their hidden surface removal operations, because the primitives entering the rasteriser 3 will be in depth order.
