Relying on multiple layers of scene data, our method naturally supports settings with partial occlusion, an important effect that is often disregarded by real time approaches. Using well-founded layer-reduction techniques and efficient mapping to the GPU, our approach out-performs established approaches with a similar high-quality feature set. Our proposed algorithm works by collecting a multi-layer image, which is then directly reduced to only keep hidden fragments close to discontinuities. Fragments are then further reduced by merging and then splatted to screen-space tiles. The per-tile information is then sorted and accumulated in order, yielding an overall approach that supports partial occlusion as well as properly ordered blending of the out-of-focus fragments.
