An example of anisotropic mipmap image storage: the principal image on the top left is accompanied by filtered, linearly transformed copies of reduced size. Isotropic mipmap of the same image. Anisotropic filtering retains the "sharpness" of a texture normally lost by a mipmap texture's attempts to avoid aliasing.
