Abstract: The intrinsic characteristic of surface splatting is the treatment of points as if they were discs to fill the gaps between the samples. That requires special processing near sharp edges and corners in order to prevent rendering artifacts from appearing. In this work, we present a clever way of clipping splats near sharp edges and corners by a classification of neighboring splats, which belong to distinct intersecting surfaces that are called clip partners. If the surface represented by the clip partners of a certain splat S is completely concave or convex, the union or the intersection of the clipping areas of each clip partner is performed to clip the splat properly depending of their position in relation to S. If that surface has an edge or a transition zone between a concave and a convex part, the clip partners are divided into two groups. Each group is classified using the proposed method and the results are combined properly. That method is capable of correctly clipping splats in general situations, even at low sampling rates, without additional modeling information beyond the splats' normals and radii.
