Abstract
Disclosed is a graphics system and associated methods for dynamic backfilling a point cloud to conceal gaps that appear when zooming into the point cloud. The dynamically backfilling fills a gap with dynamically generated points that continue a texture, contour, pattern, shape, coloring, and/or other commonality of an original set of points from the point cloud that form a single continuous surface with that gap. The system defines a model based on images of an object or scene. The model represents the object or scene at different zoom depths with different dynamically generated points. The system determines that a requested render position exposes a gap in the original set of points. The system fills the gap by using the model to generate points at positions over the gap that continue a shape, form, or structure of a single continuous surface formed by the original set of points.
