In computer graphics, mipmaps (also MIP maps) or pyramids [1] [2] [3] are pre-calculated, optimized sequences of images, each of which is a progressively lower resolution representation of the previous. The height and width of each image, or level, in the mipmap is a factor of two smaller than the previous level.
Mipmapping is a standard technique used to save some of the filtering work needed during texture minification. [2] It is also highly beneficial for cache coherency - without it the memory access pattern during sampling from distant textures will exhibit extremely poor locality, adversely affecting performance even if no filtering is performed.
An illustration of texture filtering methods showing a texture with trilinear mipmapping (left) and anisotropic texture filtering. In 3D computer graphics, anisotropic filtering (AF) [1] [2] is a technique that improves the appearance of textures, especially on surfaces viewed at sharp angles.
Trilinear filtering is an extension of the bilinear texture filtering method, which also performs linear interpolation between mipmaps. [1] [2]Bilinear filtering has several weaknesses that make it an unattractive choice in many cases: using it on a full-detail texture when scaling to a very small size causes accuracy problems from missed texels, and compensating for this by using multiple ...
An alternate version of MIP is Local maximum intensity projection. In this technique we don't take the global maximum value, but the first maximum value that is above a certain threshold. Because - in general - we can terminate the ray earlier this technique is faster and also can give better results in some settings as it approximates ...
