ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,682,541, issued on July 14.
"Non-planar real-time mirroring by raster graphics" was invented by Reuven Bakalash (Shdema, Israel).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method and system of mirroring in non-planar surfaces, based on a GPU raster hardware. A non-planar reflective surface is rasterized into receiving pixels, each having a normal value and position. The surrounding target objects are built into acceleration structure. A receiving pixel, utilizing pixel-shot-triangle search algorithm, traverse the acceleration structure along its normal direction. Upon identification of the target triangle, an exact emitting-pixel is found, and its ...
