Problem related to the depthTexture

CesiumJS
1

Hi all,

I am working with PostProcessStages of CesiumJS lib. I want to create a effect that related to the depth of each pixel: If the depth of a pixel is so large, the pixel would be not come from geometry. I set the pixel’ color is blue, other pixel’s color is red. However, in the video below (second video), there’s a red rectangular area that doesn’t correspond to any geometry. I don’t know why this area appears. Can someone explain this to me?
My code snippet of PostProcessStages:

const fs =`
    uniform sampler2D colorTexture;
    in vec2 v_textureCoordinates;
    uniform sampler2D depthTexture;

    void main() {
        float depth =  texture(depthTexture, v_textureCoordinates).x;

        if (depth > 0.99) {
			// This is likely a background pixel (far distance)
			out_FragColor = vec4(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);  // Blue for background
			return;
		} else {
			// This is likely a geometry pixel
			out_FragColor = vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);  // Red for geometry
			return;
		}
    }`;
	
const MyPostProcessStage = new PostProcessStage({
    fragmentShader : fs,
    uniforms : {
        backgroundColor: new Color(0.95, 0.95, 0.95, 1),
    }
});

The depth of the red rectangle area is small than 0.99. This area does not contain any geometry. Why it’s depth is small ? And, how to fix it ?

2 things come to my mind:

  1. Cesium’s Multi-Frustum Rendering.
  2. Cesium’s depth plane

If i understand correctly, you want to draw your geometry red, and the rest blue (simple speaking). Why not use custom shaders and attach that to your geometry?

Thanks you for your answer!
