Abstract

A system prioritizes the rendering and streaming of image data based on risk maps that predict change in a three-dimensional (“3D”) environment. The system receives primitives that are distributed across a 3D space to represent the 3D environment. The system generates a first image based on primitives that fall within a first view frustum, and generates a risk map with a risk value for each particular pixel of the first image. Each risk value quantifies a probability that a pixel of the first image associated with that risk value changes as a result of changing the first view frustum to a second view frustum. The system then performs an out-of-order rendering of primitives that fall within the second view frustum based on the risk value for each first image pixel that is replaced in a second image with a rendered primitive from the second view frustum.
