Abstract
A system creates an output image of a scene using two-dimensional (2D) images of the scene. For a pixel in the output image, the system identifies, in the output image, 2D fragments that correspond to the pixel. The system converts the 2D fragments into three dimensional (3D) fragments, creates volume spans for the pixel based on the 3D fragments, determines a color of a volume span based on color contribution of respective one or more of the 3D fragments for the volume span, and determines a color of the pixel for the output image from determined colors of the volume spans.
