Patent Images
1. A method of precomputing, comprising:
- capturing a first image by a first image capturing device of a plurality of image capturing devices;
capturing a second image by a second image capturing device of the plurality of image capturing devices;
defining a first image space for the first image that is a subset of the first image;
defining a second image space for the second image that is a subset of the second image;
analyzing pixels in the first image space for validity for processing of pixels captured by the first image capturing device;
analyzing pixels in the second image space for validity for processing of pixels captured by the second image capturing device;
storing valid pixels for the first and second image spaces as a valid pixel group; and
receiving and processing, in a graphics pipeline, the valid pixel group.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of precomputing includes capturing a first image by a first image capturing device. An image space for the first image is defined and pixels in the image space are analyzed for validity. Valid pixels are stored as valid pixel groups and the valid pixel groups are processed.
