Abstract:
When performing conservative rasterisation in a graphics processing pipeline, modified edge information that accounts for an error in the dimensions of a primitive is determined by a primitive set-up stage. That modified edge information is then used by a rasterisation stage to determine whether the primitive covers one or more sampling points associated with pixels to be displayed. The same modified edge information can also be used to determine if the pixels are fully covered by the primitive irrespective of any rounding effects (errors) in the position of the (vertices of the) primitive.

Claim (Index 18):
The processor of  claim 16 , wherein the rasterisation circuitry is configured to, for each edge of the modified primitive that is to be tested:\n first select for the edge a single offset sampling point of the modified group of sampling points to be tested to determine whether the edge covers the region of the render output represented by the modified group of sampling points; test the primitive edge against the selected offset sampling point of the modified group of sampling points representing the region of the render output; and use the result of the testing of the selected sampling point against the primitive edge to determine whether the primitive edge covers the render output region represented by the modified group of sampling positions.
