Abstract
A graphics processing subsystem and method for updating a voxel representation of a scene. One embodiment of the graphics processing subsystem includes: (1) a memory configured to store a voxel representation of a scene having first and second regions to be updated, and (2) a graphics processing unit (GPU) operable to: (2a) unify the first and second regions into a bounding region if a volume thereof does not exceed summed volumes of the first and second regions by more than a tolerance, and (2b) generate voxels for the bounding region and cause the voxels to be stored in the voxel representation.
