Title: Method and apparatus for a high throughput rasterizer
Inventor: SUBRAMANIAM MAIYURAN
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2015-12-23
Abstract: A plurality of pixel blocks (e.g. 4x4 spans) associated with edges of a primitive (1200) are selected based on their having samples which are both inside and outside of the primitive. Samples of the selected blocks are analysed and data identifying each edge (1201, 1202, 1203) of the primitive is generated, e.g. using multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA). Data identifying each edge is combined and a final mask representing the primitive is generated. This method may be applied in a high throughput rasteriser. Blocks containing no samples of the primitive and fully covered blocks with all samples from the primitive are determined as void, as are partial spans, even if they include samples from within and without the primitive. A bounding box (1205) may be used to generate a rectangle containing the primitive wherein any samples outside of the bounding box are void.
