Systems and Methods For Rendering Vector Data On Static And Dynamic-Surfaces Using Screen Space Decals And A Depth Texture

A device, comprising:

• a graphic display;
• and
• a processor connected to the graphic display, wherein the processor is configured with processor executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving complex vector data associated with a surface for rendering on the graphic display;
• decomposing the complex vector data into one or more vector subunits;
• generating, for each of the one or more vector subunits, a geometry corresponding to a volume and a mathematical description of an extrusion of each corresponding vector subunit, wherein the volume and the mathematical description of the extrusion intersect a surface level-of-detail of the surface;
• rasterizing the geometry as a screen-space decal;
• comparing a surface depth texture for the surface against the extrusion using at least the screen-space decal;
• and
• performing geometry batching for drawing simultaneously a plurality of the one or more vector subunits.
