20130063462 | TILE-BASED IMAGE PROCESSING USING MIPMAPS - Mipmaps are used to optimize image rendering by intelligently determining which generated mipmaps can be reused and then storing the reusable mipmaps in cache for quick retrieval later. A graphic transformation application (GTA) working with or executed by a graphics processing unit (GPU) identifies images to be rendered on a screen and effects to be applied such images. Transforms to carry out the effects are charged with generating mipmaps of the images, and the GTA monitors the generated mipmaps and images to be rendered to determine what mipmaps to cache for future transforms. | 2013-03-14 |
20130063463 | REAL-TIME ATLASING OF GRAPHICS DATA - Performing real-time atlasing of graphics data and creation and maintenance of texture atlases for applications having dynamic graphics content. Embodiments include allocating a texture atlas configured to store textural elements for use in rendering graphical elements, and providing a graphics processing unit (GPU) access to the texture atlas. During subsequent execution of an application, when a graphical element of the application is to be rendered by the GPU, a block of space can be allocated within the texture atlas and a textural element corresponding to the graphical element can be stored within the allocated block. The GPU therefore has access to the textural element when rendering the graphical element. | 2013-03-14 |
