Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for operation of a graphics processing unit (GPU). The device can determine a first shading value for each primitive in a first set of primitives associated with objects in a first frame. The device can also determine a second shading value for each primitive in a second set of primitives associated with objects in a second frame. Additionally, the device can calculate a shading difference for each primitive in both the first set of primitives and the second set of primitives. In some aspects, the shading difference is the difference between the first shading value and the second shading value for the primitive. Moreover, the device can shade each primitive in response to determining the shading difference is greater than a threshold, where each shaded primitive is in a third set of primitives.
