Abstract:
A method for processing a 3D scene and a corresponding apparatus are disclosed. A 3D position of at least one-point light source of the 3D scene is determined from information representative of 3D geometry of the scene. Then, an occlusion attenuation coefficient assigned to the at least one-point light source is calculated from an occluded area and an unoccluded area, the occluded area and the unoccluded area only differing in that the at least one-point light source is occluded by an object in the occluded area and the at least one-point light source is not occluded in the unoccluded area. Color intensity of at least one pixel of the 3D scene can thus be modified using at least the occlusion attenuation coefficient.

Claim (Index 4):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein calculating an occlusion attenuation coefficient assigned to a point light source comprises:\n identifying pairs of pixels comprising a first pixel and a second pixel having a same reflectance property, wherein said first pixel of the pair is located in said not occluded area and wherein said second pixel of the pair is located in said occluded area, computing said occlusion attenuation coefficient by dividing a mean intensity computed for identified pixels from said occluded area by a mean intensity computed for corresponding pixels from said not occluded area.
