Abstract
A method and a decompression unit are provided for decompressing compressed data to determine one or more sub-primitive presence indications for use in a rendering system. A block of compressed data for a block of sub-primitive presence indications is received. The block of sub-primitive presence indications comprises a plurality of sub-blocks of sub-primitive presence indications. The block of compressed data comprises, for each of the sub-blocks in the block of sub-primitive presence indications, an index to indicate one of a plurality of candidates for combinations of presence indications. An index is read from the block of compressed data for one of the sub-blocks in the block of sub-primitive presence indications. Candidate data is obtained representing at least a portion of the candidate indicated by the read index. The obtained candidate data is used to determine one or more of the presence indications in the sub-block.
