Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for operation of a GPU. The device can determine a first subset of primitives associated with a set of objects within an image. The first subset of primitives can be based on a first viewpoint with respect to the set of objects. The device can also determine, for a second viewpoint with respect to the set of objects, a second subset of primitives excluding the first subset of primitives. In some aspects, the second subset of primitives can have a difference in depth with respect to the first subset of primitives that is less than a threshold depth. Additionally, the device can mark the first subset of primitives and the second subset of primitives as visible. Further, the device can generate graphical content based on the marked first subset of primitives and the marked second subset of primitives.
