Definitions

Wiktionary

  1. n. The process of taking an image described in a vector graphics format (shapes) and converting it into a raster image.

Examples

  • “To avoid potential confusion, let me define "rasterization": For our present purposes, it's the process of determining which pixels are inside a triangle, and nothing more.”

    Gamasutra Feature Articles

  • “Mr. McCombe said graphics chips have hundreds of specialized calculating engines that are particularly good at rasterization, which converts three-dimensional models into pixels on a computer screen.”

    The Wall Street Journal: Start-Up Promises More Game Realism

  • “Computer games and other PC software typically rely on a technology called rasterization.”

    The Wall Street Journal: Start-Up Promises More Game Realism

  • “Their peak throughput power of GPUs for rasterization appears to grow as a factor of two (or more) every year, because of the video gaming industry, which provides the economic motivation," he wrote in a reply to e-mailed questions.”

    Wired: Supercomputing's Next Revolution

  • “Each specific formatting, rasterization, and tagging option can now be done on a per-object basis:”

    Ars Technica

  • “Multisampling increases the cost of some stages along this pipeline (notably rasterization, depth/stencil testing, and framebuffer writes), but it does not affect the areas that are most often performance bottlenecks (vertex fetch, vertex shading, texture fetch, and pixel shading).”

  • “The idea is simple: instead of increasing the resolution for all rendering, what if we do triangle rasterization and depth/stencil tests at the higher resolution, but leave pixel shading and texture lookups at the original, lower resolution?”

    Site Home

  • “Because triangle rasterization and depth testing are performed at the higher resolution, multisampling is every bit as good as supersampling at combating triangle edge and geometry aliasing.”

    Site Home

  • “For instance, consider a pixel shader that implements a vector rasterization algorithm.”

    Site Home

  • “There are two ways to generate a three-dimensional image for a two-dimensional screen: rasterization and real-time ray tracing.”
