Streaming G-Buffer Compression for Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel lossy compression algorithm for G-buffers that enables deferred shading applications with high visibility sampling rates. Our streaming compression method operates in a single geometry rendering pass with a fixed, but scalable, amount of per pixel memory. We demonstrate reduced memory requirements and improved performance, with minimal impact on image quality.

Aggregate G-Buffer Anti-Aliasing-0.1cm
We present Aggregate G-Buffer Anti-Aliasing (AGAA), a new technique for efficient anti-aliased deferred rendering of complex geometry using modern graphics hardware. In geometrically complex situations where many surfaces intersect a pixel, current rendering systems shade each contributing surface at least once per pixel. As the sample density and geometric complexity increase, the shading cost...
متن کاملAn Efficient Massively Parallel Rasterization Scheme For a High Performance Graphics System
We present in this paper the IMOGENE II system, a massively parallel Multi-SIMD graphics system. This architecture uses a new rasterization scheme combining Object Parallelism and Parallel Virtual Buffers. This scheme leads to a better efficiency than other massively parallel SHvlD systems, and allows a cost-effective, powerful and easily expandabJe system to be designed. The syst.em consists o...
متن کاملCross Scan Buffer and its Applications
We propose the Cross Scanline Buffer which preserves the result of hidden surface removal as performed by the Cross Scanline Algorithm. The Cross Scan Buffer reduces image re-generation time and eliminates aliasing artifacts even if the image is arbitrarily scaled. Perfect anti-aliasing is achieved because the Cross Scanline Algorithm analytically determines visible polygonal surfaces and divid...

In this paper, an experiment is conducted which proves that multi layer feed forward neural networks are capable of compressing 3D polygon meshes. Our compression method not only preserves the initial accuracy of the represented object but also enhances it. The neural network employed includes the vertex coordinates, the connectivity and normal information in one compact form, converting the di...

Anti-aliasing in form factor computation and precise determination of shadow boundaries are important issires for Radiosity method. A-Buffer is a technique introduced by Carpenter f o r anti-aliasing in hidden surjiace removal. In this paper, we propose a method based on the A-Bilffer to replace the Zbtlffer in the computation of form factors using the Hemicube f o r anti-aliasing. The method d...
