Abstract

The new generations of GPUs bring us a set of new basic operations or tools that allow us to design new solutions to traditional problems in Computer Graphics. In this paper we present two approaches for the point- in-polygon problem based on the occlusion query extensions supported by modern GPUs. Both approaches are fast and their execution times do not depend on the number of edges of the polygon. Besides, one of the tests allows multiple point-in-polygon queries to be done in parallel with CPU computations.
