abstract = "We present a new algorithm for efficient occlusion culling
using hardware occlusion queries. The algorithm
significantly improves on previous techniques by making
better use of temporal and spatial coherence of visibility.
This is achieved by using adaptive visibility prediction and
query batching. As a result of the new optimizations the
number of issued occlusion queries and the number of
rendering state changes are significantly reduced. We also
propose a simple method for determining tighter bounding
volumes for occlusion queries and a method which further
reduces the pipeline stalls. The proposed method provides
up to an order of magnitude speedup over the previous state
of the art. The new technique is simple to implement, does
not rely on hardware calibration and integrates well with
modern game engines.",
