Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system are provided for rendering of photorealistic computer graphics images. According to one embod iment, an image is partitioned into regions, each of the regions having a discontinuity edge, a boundary, edge pixels along the boundary, and remaining pixels, and orientation of the discontinuity edge is estimated by computing a direction of least discrepancy within each of the regions by evaluating the edge pixels along the boundary of each of the regions.
Claims21
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- a directional coherence map (DCM) accelerator coupled with the processor, the DCM accelerator to:
- partition an image into a plurality of regions, wherein each of the plurality of regions having a discontinuity edge, a boundary, edge pixels along the boundary, and remaining pixels;
- and
- estimate orientation of the discontinuity edge by computing direction of least discrepancy within each of the plurality of regions by evaluating the edge pixels along the boundary of each of the plurality of regions.
The apparatus of 2, wherein reproduce the image comprises interactively reproduce the image.
A system, comprising:
- a storage device;
- a processor coupled with the storage device;
