Abstract:


    A new visibility-driven rasterization scheme that significantly increases the rendering performance of modern graphic subsystems for depth complex scenes. The pro posed scheme is well-suited for hardware implementation, it can easily be integrated into low-cost rasterizers, and its granularity can vary depending on available real estate.
