Abstract
Method and system for optimizing resource usage in a graphics pipeline. The graphics pipeline renders pixels of a two-dimensional image on a basis of at least one model and outputs a stream of image frames characterized by a frame rate, a resolution and a level of detail. If the format in which the frames will be output from the graphics pipeline is characterized by pixel omission, the plurality of pixels removed from the frames prior to their output from the graphics pipeline according to the format are identified, and the graphics pipeline is configured to only render pixels other than the plurality of pixels that will be removed. Accordingly, it may be possible to reassign resources of the graphics pipeline from pixel rendering-related operations to other processing operations, thus optimizing resource usage and allowing for an improved performance by the graphics pipeline.
