GRAPHICS ANALYSIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G06T7/00 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates analysis of graphics applications. Versions provide methods of analysing graphics applications. For instance, a device may include a graphics application program interface (API), a graphics engine, and a graphics analysis tool. The graphics analysis tool may receive multiple draw calls issued to the graphics API, and arrange the draw calls into multiple sequences, each sequence corresponding to a particular render buffer. From this information various analysis tasks may be performed. For instance, overdraw images may be generated. Such overdraw images may be enhanced to improve their dynamic range. Also, pixel histories may be generated based on corresponding pixel selections. The effect of draw calls on selected pixels may also be determined. Further, such tasks may be performed separately for each render buffer.

EFFECT: high efficiency of debugging graphics rendering based on the available limited processing power.
