The purpose of anti-aliasing is to reduce, if not eliminate, distracting aliasing artifacts in Computer Generated Imagery.Most aliasing artifacts, or jaggies, result from using only one sample point per pixel when computing 2D images.
In computer graphics, anti-aliasing improves the appearance of "jagged" polygon edges, or "jaggies", so they are smoothed out on the screen. However, it incurs a performance cost for the graphics card and uses more video memory. The level of anti-aliasing determines how smooth polygon edges are (and how much video memory it consumes).
Aliasing in spatially sampled signals (e.g., moiré patterns in digital images) is referred to as spatial aliasing. Aliasing is generally avoided by applying low-pass filters or anti-aliasing filters (AAF) to the input signal before sampling and when converting a signal from a higher to a lower sampling rate.
Multisample anti-aliasing (MSAA) is a type of spatial anti-aliasing, a technique used in computer graphics to remove jaggies. It is an optimization of supersampling, where only the necessary parts are sampled more. Jaggies are only noticed in a small area, so the area is quickly found, and only that is anti-aliased.
Supersampling or supersampling anti-aliasing (SSAA) is a spatial anti-aliasing method, i.e. a method used to remove aliasing (jagged and pixelated edges, colloquially known as "jaggies") from images rendered in computer games or other computer programs that generate imagery. Aliasing occurs because unlike real-world objects, which have ...
Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) is a spatial anti-aliasing technique for computer-generated video that combines information from past frames and the current frame to remove jaggies in the current frame. In TAA, each pixel is sampled once per frame but in each frame the sample is at a different location within the frame.
Deep learning anti-aliasing (DLAA) is a form of spatial anti-aliasing created by Nvidia. [1] DLAA depends on and requires Tensor Cores available in Nvidia RTX cards. [1]DLAA is similar to deep learning super sampling (DLSS) in its anti-aliasing method, [2] with one important differentiation being that the goal of DLSS is to increase performance at the cost of image quality, [3] whereas the ...
The effect of jaggies can be reduced by a graphics technique known as spatial anti-aliasing. Anti-aliasing smooths out jagged lines by surrounding them with transparent pixels to simulate the appearance of fractionally-filled pixels when viewed at a distance. The downside of anti-aliasing is that it reduces contrast – rather than sharp black ...
