Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for graphics processing are described. A device may receive an image including a set of pixels. The device may render a first subset of pixels in each bin of a set of bins during a first rendering pass, and defer rendering a second subset of pixels and a third subset of pixels in each bin of the set of bins during the first rendering pass. The second subset of pixels may include edge pixels and the third subset of pixels may be between the first subset of pixels and the second subset of pixels. The device may render the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels in each bin of the set of bins during a second rendering pass based on rendering the first subset of pixels. The device may then output the image based on the first and second rendering pass.

Dependent claims

A method for graphics processing at a device, comprising:

receiving an image comprising a set of pixels;
rendering a first subset of pixels in each bin of a set of bins during a first rendering pass;
applying a filter to a second subset of pixels for each bin of the set of bins;
determining a third subset of pixels for each bin of the set of bins based at least in part on a filter width of the filter;
deferring rendering the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels in each bin of the set of bins during the first rendering pass, wherein the second subset of pixels comprises edge pixels associated with the set of pixels and the third subset of pixels is between the first subset of pixels and the second subset of pixels;
rendering the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels in each bin of the set of bins during a second rendering pass based at least in part on rendering the first subset of pixels;
and
outputting a representation of the image based at least in part on rendering the first subset of pixels during the first rendering pass and rendering the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels during the second rendering pass.

An apparatus for graphics processing, comprising:

a processor,
memory coupled with the processor;
and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive an image comprising a set of pixels;
render a first subset of pixels in each bin of a set of bins during a first rendering pass;
apply a filter to a second subset of pixels for each bin of the set of bins;
determine a third subset of pixels for each bin of the set of bins based at least in part on a filter width of the filter;
defer rendering the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels in each bin of the set of bins during the first rendering pass, wherein the second subset of pixels comprises edge pixels associated with the set of pixels and the third subset of pixels is between the first subset of pixels and the second subset of pixels;
render the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels in each bin of the set of bins during a second rendering pass based at least in part on rendering the first subset of pixels;
and
output a representation of the image based at least in part on rendering the first subset of pixels during the first rendering pass and rendering the second subset of pixels and the third subset of pixels during the second rendering pass.
