Abstract:
When rendering a scene that includes a complex object made up of many individual primitives, rather than processing each primitive making up the object in turn, a bounding volume which surrounds the complex object is generated and the scene is then processed using the bounding volume in place of the actual primitives making up the complex object. If it is determined that the bounding volume representation of the object will be completely occluded in the scene (e.g. by a foreground object), then the individual primitives making up the complex object are not processed. This can save significantly on processing time and resources for the scene.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of processing a scene for display in a graphics processing system, the method comprising:\n processing one or more fragments by performing a first rendering pass; determining whether data associated with the one or more fragments is stored in a cache; and when a cache miss is detected:\n performing one or more further rendering passes, the one or more further rendering passes comprising a reduced set of rendering instructions to generate the data associated with the one or more fragments; \n generating the data associated with the one or more fragments; and \n writing the data associated with the one or more fragments to the cache for use by the first rendering pass.
