Title: Innovations of David Keith Fowler

Introduction

David Keith Fowler is a notable inventor based in Hastings, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of image processing, holding a total of 10 patents. His work focuses on optimizing data structures to enhance the efficiency of image rendering.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Resetting of dynamically grown accelerated data structure." This invention provides a method for resetting a dynamically grown Accelerated Data Structure (ADS) used in image processing. It allows for the reuse of the root node of a prior ADS, enabling the memory allocated to the previous structure to be reused without clearing all allocated memory. This innovation significantly reduces the processing overhead associated with initializing a new ADS.

Another recent patent is "Accelerated data structure positioning based upon view orientation." This invention utilizes the known view orientation for an image frame to reposition an ADS during rendering. By transforming a scene to orient the view within a specific octant, additional processing resources can be allocated to ensure efficient processing of the primitives within that view orientation.
