These images consist of 2 dimensional arrays of pixels (picture elements), such as 1kx1k pixels for example. When images are computed using a single sample per pixel, they show aliasing artifacts such as stairsteps on feature edges (jaggies). Aliasing artifacts can be minimized by applying Anti-Aliasing (AA) techniques, such as Multi-Sample AA (MSAA). With MSAA, several images are computed for a few sample points per pixel, followed by images averaging. MSAA is computation intensive, slow, costly and with mixed results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author has developed a new approach to AA, Area-Based AA (ABAA), that is vastly superior to MSAA. ABAA relies on subpixel area-sampling instead of point-sampling. It produces better quality images. It is also much faster, simpler, low-power and low-cost. With all these advantages, ABAA should be widely accepted for future 3D CGI implementations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book has three versions and this is the introductory version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel a Rohner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887759746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gotham Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.41d","brand":"Michel a Rohner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46094357790975,"sku":"9798887759746","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eef7f55a-73a7-446c-bcbe-e66d654fdd90.jpg?v=1724844421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-area-based-anti-aliasing-for-michel-a-rohner-9798887759746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
