Abstract: There is provided an image processing method. The method includes receiving an image, receiving gaze data indicative of a gaze location of a user for the image, performing an upscaling process on at least part of the received image to increase quality of the at least part of the received image, and outputting the upscaled image to a display device. Performing the upscaling process includes upscaling a first region of the received image corresponding to the gaze location of the user for the image using a first kernel size and upscaling a second region of the received image using a second kernel size, where the first kernel size is larger than the second kernel size.

Abstract: A shadow rendering method for an image includes: re-projecting 3D coordinates of image pixels from an image space of the image to points on a 2D shadowmap space; estimating at least one of a horizontal and vertical distribution of the points in the shadow map space; for a flexible scale rasteriser ‘FSR’, updating a horizontal or vertical FSR curve corresponding to a distribution of FSR bins for the shadow map so that the corresponding horizontal or vertical distribution of points per bin is most even; and rendering the shadow map using flexible scale rasterization.

Abstract: A method of generating a data set includes determining a vertex count of a reference polygonal mesh, generating a second polygonal mesh by adding a predetermined number of vertices to the reference polygonal mesh, comparing a representation of the second polygonal mesh with a representation of the reference polygonal mesh, assigning a first value of a quality parameter to the reference polygonal mesh, and assigning a second value of the quality parameter to the second polygonal mesh based on the comparison of the representations, the value of the quality parameter for a given polygonal mesh indicative of a degree of difference between a representation of the given polygonal mesh and a representation of the reference polygonal mesh, and generating the data set comprising data indicative of a vertex count for the reference and second polygonal meshes and a value of a quality parameters for the reference and second polygonal meshes.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of detecting whether a first user is a bad actor within a platform network, in which the platform network enables interactions between individuals within video games, the method comprising the steps of measuring for the first user one or more selected from the list consisting of at least a first a game-agnostic behaviour metric that measures an investment of effort by the first user in interactions with other individuals; and at least a first a game-dependent behaviour metric that measures in-game patterns of interaction with other individuals by the first user, comparing the or each metric with an average or reference metric for a typical individual, and where a difference in the comparison or a combination of the comparisons meets a first criterion, treating this as indicative that the first user may be a bad actor.
