Abstract:
A distance field approach is used to determine when we lose the line of sight from a view point to a given pixel (or voxel) in the presence of occluding pixels (voxels). Distance values computed by the propagating the distance field can be compared to linear distances. When the linear distance differs from the propagated distance value by a given amount, the pixel (voxel) can be deemed to be occluded.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for a computer generated scene, the method comprising:\n generating a spatial partitioning that is representative of a scene, the spatial partitioning comprising a plurality of cells including a starting cell, a plurality of occluding cells, and a plurality of non-occluding cells; associating a path distance value for each non-occluding cell that is representative of a minimum path distance between said each non-occluding cell and the starting cell; identifying occluded cells from among the plurality of non-occluding cells using the minimum path distance value associated with each non-occluding cell and a linear distance value between said each non-occluding cell and the starting cell; and producing a computer generated representation of the scene using non-occluding cells that are not identified as occluded cells.
