Title: Formation of bounding volume hierarchies
Inventor: JOSEPH JOHN DAVISON
IPC: G06T17/00
Filed: 2022-03-31
Abstract: In a graphics processor, optimising a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) acceleration structure representing 3D regions of space in a modelled environment for ray tracing. The BVH is a tree with leaf nodes representing regions containing one or more primitives or part primitives. The optimization comprises one or more iterations of a current BVH tree, where, for each of a number of input nodes in the BVH, searching 515 for a candidate reinsertion which would move the node to a new parent and which would reduce the expected computational cost of ray tracing with the modified BVH. In each iteration, the BVH is updated with one or more selected candidate reinsertions. The selection comprises a conflict check 550 to check whether any group of candidate reinsertions would affect the same part of the tree, and if so selecting only one of the group to update the BVH. A second update is then performed to update with another candidate reinsertion of the same group. The computational cost may be determined by a surface area heuristic (SAH) formula.
