Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "System for distinguishing front facing and back facing primitives in a computer graphics system using area calculations in homogeneous coordinates." This invention focuses on a method and apparatus for distinguishing between front facing and back facing polygons in a computer graphics environment. The method determines the type of polygon—whether it is a triangle, a quadrilateral, or a polygon with more than four vertices—and computes the area using different formulas based on the polygon type. A significant aspect of this invention is that the calculations occur in homogeneous coordinates before clipping is performed.
Another notable patent is "Dynamic selection of lighting coordinates in a computer graphics system." This invention includes a lighting system that efficiently performs lighting by dynamically selecting the lighting space for calculations. The system minimizes resource expenditure by choosing the most efficient coordinate system based on specific criteria. The dynamic light space selector plays a crucial role in determining which coordinate system will be used for lighting processing.
