 Fast Perspective Z-Buffer with Inverse Depths

Martin Feda, Robert F. Tobler, Laszlo Neumann
Fast Perspective Z-Buffer with Inverse Depths
TR-186-2-94-16, November 1994 [ paper]
Information
  • Publication Type: Technical Report
  • Keywords: z-buffer, optimization, rendering

Abstract
This paper presents a way to hold the depth information in Z-buffers, that allows fast incremental computation of Z-buffer depth values. The main idea is to store the inverse depth with each pixel value. The incremental depth computation can then be done with a single addition per pixel in a scanline.
