Graphical Processing Of Object Perimeter Information
US Patent:
7242408, Jul 10, 2007
Filed:
Aug 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/207926
Inventors:
Sean E. Dunn - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345582, 345426, 345428, 345585, 345586, 345606, 345629, 382260
Abstract:
A technique for graphically processing perimeter information includes determining a polar representation of the perimeter of an object to define polar perimeter information, storing the polar perimeter information, retrieving the stored polar perimeter information using an overlay, and applying the retrieved polar perimeter information to provide a graphical effect within a scene (such as, but not limited to, a shadow effect).

Filed:
Jan 31, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/355798

Rendering Multi-Layered Image
US Patent:
2011019, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 7, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/701581
Inventors:
Sean E. Dunn - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G09G 5/02
US Classification:
345589
Abstract:
A multi-layered image may be rasterized onto a background by considering each layer in the image from front to back. The alpha channel of a background buffer is cleared, so that it may act as an accumulator of total consumed opacity. Each image layer, from front to back, is then considered. For each layer, the layer's alpha value is multiplied by the complement of the alpha channel's current value, and the product is added to the background alpha channel. The background alpha channel is then multiplied by a global alpha value. The background color values are then pre-darkened by the complement of the resulting background alpha channel value. The background alpha channel is then cleared again, and the layers are rasterized and added, from front to back, onto the pre-darkened background, this time taking into consideration the per-layer color values.
Generation Of Glow Effect
US Patent:
7414625, Aug 19, 2008
Filed:
Nov 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/565512

US Classification:
345426, 345419, 345583, 345589, 345597, 345629
Abstract:
A technique generates a glow effect in an image. The technique selects an area within a scene that is to glow to produce a selected area image, generates glow using the selected area image to produce a glowing area image, and then adds the glowing area image to the scene to provide the glow effect.
