Adding greater realism to a computer-generated image by smoothing jagged edges

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 anti-aliasing is a technique used to add greater realism to a digital image by smoothing jagged edges. This reduces a co...

Summary: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 anti-aliasing 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.
