Abstract:
Graphics processing systems can include lighting effects when rendering images. “Light probes” are directional representations of lighting at particular probe positions in the space of a scene which is being rendered. Light probes can be determined iteratively, which can allow them to be determined dynamically, in real-time over a sequence of frames. Once the light probes have been determined for a frame then the lighting at a pixel can be determined based on the lighting at the nearby light probe positions. Pixels can then be shaded based on the lighting determined for the pixel positions.

Claim (Index 1):
A machine-implemented method of graphics processing, comprising:\n for each probe position of a plurality of probe positions within a scene, maintaining a directional representation of lighting by:\n tracing one or more rays from the probe position to determine, for each of the one or more rays, a lighting contribution for the probe position from the direction of the ray, and \n updating the directional representation of lighting for the probe position based on the determined lighting contribution for each of the one or more rays; and \n using the directional representations of lighting for the probe positions for rendering an image of the scene.
