Abstract
During the rendering of an image, specific pixels in the image are identified where antialiasing would be helpful. Antialiasing is then performed on these identified pixels, where antialiasing is a technique used to add greater realism to a digital image by smoothing jagged edges. This reduces a cost of performing antialiasing by reducing a number of pixels within an image on which antialiasing is performed.
Claims1
One or more processors, comprising:
- one or more circuits to:
- identify one or more pixels of an image as being associated with two or more incongruent attributes, wherein the identification is based, at least in part, on a count of primitives to be used to render the one or more pixels being greater than one;
- cause an antialiasing technique to be selected to be applied to the one or more pixels based, at least in part, on the count of primitives;
- and
- cause the selected antialiasing technique to be applied to the one or more pixels.
