= Fragment Density Map Operations
== Fragment Density Map Operations Overview
When a fragment is generated in a render pass that has a fragment density
map attachment, its area is determined by the properties of the local
framebuffer region that the fragment occupies.
The framebuffer is divided into a uniform grid of these local regions, and
their fragment area property is derived from the density map with the
following operations:
* <<fragmentdensitymap-fetch-density-value,Fetch density value>>
** <<fragmentdensitymap-component-swizzle,Component swizzle>>
** <<fragmentdensitymap-component-mapping,Component mapping>>
* <<fragmentdensitymap-conversion-to-fragment-area,Fragment area
conversion>>
** <<fragmentdensitymap-fragment-area-filter,Fragment area filter>>
** <<fragmentdensitymap-fragment-area-clamp,Fragment area clamp>>
[[fragmentdensitymap-fetch-density-value]]
== Fetch Density Value
Each local framebuffer region at center coordinate [eq]#(x,y)# fetches a
texel from the fragment density map at integer coordinates:
:: latexmath:[i =
\lfloor{\frac{x}{fragmentDensityTexelSize_{width}}}\rfloor]
:: latexmath:[j =
\lfloor{\frac{y}{fragmentDensityTexelSize_{height}}}\rfloor]
Where the size of each region in the framebuffer is:
:: latexmath:[fragmentDensityTexelSize'_{width} =
{2^{\lceil{\log_2(\frac{framebuffer_{width}}{fragmentDensityMap_{width}})}\rceil}}]
:: latexmath:[fragmentDensityTexelSize'_{height} =
{2^{\lceil{\log_2(\frac{framebuffer_{height}}{fragmentDensityMap_{height}})}\rceil}}]
This region is subject to the limits in
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceFragmentDensityMapPropertiesEXT and therefore the
final region size is clamped:
:: latexmath:[fragmentDensityTexelSize_{width} =
\mathbin{clamp}(fragmentDensityTexelSize'_{width},minFragmentDensityTexelSize_{width},maxFragmentDensityTexelSize_{height})]
:: latexmath:[fragmentDensityTexelSize_{height} =
\mathbin{clamp}(fragmentDensityTexelSize'_{height},minFragmentDensityTexelSize_{height},maxFragmentDensityTexelSize_{height})]
When multiview is enabled for the render pass and the fragment density map
attachment view was created with pname:layerCount greater than `1`, the
density map layer that the texel is fetched from is:
:: latexmath:[layer = baseArrayLayer + ViewIndex]
Otherwise:
:: latexmath:[layer = baseArrayLayer]
The texel fetched from the density map at [eq]#(i,j,layer)# is next
converted to density with the following operations.
[[fragmentdensitymap-component-swizzle]]
=== Component Swizzle
The pname:components member of slink:VkImageViewCreateInfo is applied to the
fetched texel as defined in <<textures-component-swizzle,Image component
swizzle>>.
[[fragmentdensitymap-component-mapping]]
=== Component Mapping
The swizzled texel's components are mapped to a density value:
:: latexmath:[densityValue_{xy} = (C'_{r},C'_{g})]
[[fragmentdensitymap-conversion-to-fragment-area]]
== Fragment Area Conversion
Fragment area for the framebuffer region is undefined if the density fetched
is not a normalized floating-point value greater than `0.0`.
Otherwise, the fetched fragment area for that region is derived as:
:: latexmath:[fragmentArea_{wh} = \frac{1.0}{densityValue_{xy}}]
[[fragmentdensitymap-fragment-area-filter]]
=== Fragment Area Filter
Optionally, the implementation may: fetch additional density map texels in
an implementation defined window around [eq]#(i,j)#.
The texels follow the standard conversion steps up to and including
<<fragmentdensitymap-conversion-to-fragment-area,fragment area conversion>>.
A single fetched fragment area for the framebuffer region is chosen by the
implementation and must: have an area between the _min_ and _max_ areas of
the fetched set.
[[fragmentdensitymap-fragment-area-clamp]]
=== Fragment Area Clamp
The implementation may: clamp the fetched fragment area to one that it
supports.
The clamped fragment area must: have a size less than or equal to the
original fetched value.
Implementations may: vary the supported set of fragment areas per
framebuffer region.
Fragment area [eq]#(1,1)# must: always be in the supported set.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
For example, if the fetched fragment area is [eq]#(1,4)# but the
implementation only supports areas of [eq]#{(1,1),(2,2)}#, it could choose
to clamp the area to [eq]#(2,2)# since it has the same size as [eq]#(1,4)#.
While this would produce fragments that have lower quality strictly in the
x-axis, the overall density is maintained.
====
The clamped fragment area is assigned to the corresponding framebuffer
region.
