Abstract
A standard occlusion query (OQ) may be generalized to five dimensions, which can be used for motion blurred, defocused, occlusion culling. As such, the occlusion query concept is generalized so that it can be used within 5D rasterization, which is used for rendering of motion blur and depth of field. For 5D rasterization, occlusion culling may be done with OQs as well, applied to solve other rendering related problems.
