An image rendering method comprises receiving 3D model data for a 3D model and processing the 3D model data to render image data for a hogel view to a render target. Processing the 3D model data to render the image data comprises defining a frustum having an origin at an image plane and rendering multiple sides of the frustum in a single pass without duplicating geometric shapes that pass through the image plane. The frustum comprises a plurality of side planes and having a top portion of the frustum and a bottom portion of the frustum, the plurality of side planes having a set of side plane edges that pass through the origin.

Multi-view processing unit systems and methods

One embodiment comprises receiving scene data for a scene, the scene data including data for a plurality of triangles, loading a plurality of viewpoints and processing the scene data using a plurality of parallel rendering pipelines of a graphics processing unit to render image data for a plurality of hogel views of the scene in parallel to a set of render targets, the plurality of hogel views based on the plurality of viewpoints. Processing the scene data using the plurality of parallel rendering pipelines comprises rasterizing a same triangle from the plurality of triangles in parallel for each of the plurality of hogel views prior to moving to a next triangle from the plurality of triangles.

A system comprising a multi-view processing unit to provide a plurality of parallel rendering pipelines to render multiple views of a scene in parallel to render targets. The multi-view processing unit comprises a multi-view processing unit memory storing a plurality of viewpoints and a multi-view processing unit processor configured to receive a request to render a scene, load the plurality of viewpoints and implement the parallel rendering pipelines to render the scene based on the plurality of viewpoints, the plurality of parallel rendering pipeline configured to render, in parallel, image data for multiple views to a set of buffers.

A light-field display with pixel to micro-lens spatial alignment adapted color or brightness. In one embodiment, a first pixel is read from memory. A map is accessed to read a first index that is mapped to a first position of a first emitter in an array of emitters. A first correction data mapped to the first index is read. The first pixel is adjusted using the first correction data. The first emitter emits light based on the adjusted first pixel.

Described herein are tracking algorithm modifications to handle occlusions when processing a video stream including multiple image frames. Specifically, system and methods for handling both partial and full occlusions while tracking moving and non-moving targets are described. The occlusion handling embodiments described herein may be appropriate for a visual tracking system with supplementary range information.
