Techniques for predictive prioritization of image portions in processing graphics

A computing device for processing images using probability fields, comprising:

• a memory storing one or more parameters or instructions for executing an operating system and one or more applications;
• a display interface coupled with a display device for communicating signals to display rendered frames on the display device;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and the display interface, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine a probability field for prioritizing portions of an image of a scene for processing, wherein the probability field comprises a set of values each corresponding to a likelihood of a rendering parameter acquiring an altered value between a render time at which at least a portion of the image is rendered and a display time at which the image is displayed;
• generate a shaped probability field based at least in part on applying the probability field to an original target shape associated with the display device;
• and
• provide the shaped probability field to a downstream node for prioritizing, based at least in part on one or more of the set of values in the probability field, a portion of the image in processing the image for display on the display device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising code executable by one or more processors for processing images using probability fields in a computing device, the code comprising code for:

• determining a probability field for prioritizing portions of an image of a scene for processing, wherein the probability field comprises a set of values each corresponding to a likelihood of a rendering parameter acquiring an altered value between a render time at which at least a portion of the image is rendered and a display time at which the image is displayed;
• generating a shaped probability field based at least in part on applying the probability field to an original target shape associated with a display;
• and
• providing the shaped probability field to a downstream node for prioritizing, based at least in part on one or more of the set of values in the probability field, a portion of the image in processing the image.
