Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques are disclosed to determine a pixel count of an object of interest in a multidimensional digital environment, based on the texture of the multidimensional object considered as an object of interest. In one embodiment, a first pass in a rendering pipeline is performed to render the objects of interest. Depth information of each pixel of the objects of interest is determined. A second pass in the rendering pipeline is performed that renders the entire scene. Each object of interest is rendered in a first predetermined color and a second depth information of each pixel within the scene is determined. The first and second depth information for each pixel is compared. When the depth information is different, the pixel is rendered with a second predetermined color. A total number of pixels having the first predetermined color is determined as a pixel count of the object of interest.
