Effect of an anti-scatter grid on incident beams. In medical imaging, an anti-scatter grid (also known as a Bucky-Potter grid) is a device for limiting the amount of scattered radiation reaching the detector, [1] [2] thereby improving the quality of diagnostic medical x-ray images.
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.
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.
In computer graphics, relief mapping is a texture mapping technique first introduced in 2000 [1] used to render the surface details of three-dimensional objects accurately and efficiently. [2] It can produce accurate depictions of self-occlusion, self-shadowing, and parallax. [3] It is a form of short-distance ray tracing done in a pixel shader.
DirectX 10 introduced features allowing shaders to access individual samples in multi-sampled render targets (and depth buffers in version 10.1), giving users of this API access to hardware anti-aliasing in deferred shading. These features also allow them to correctly apply HDR luminance mapping to anti-aliased edges, where in earlier versions ...
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.
Deep learning anti-aliasing (DLAA), a type of spatial and temporal anti-aliasing method relying on dedicated tensor core processors Deep learning super sampling (DLSS), a family of real-time deep learning image enhancement and upscaling technologies developed by Nvidia that are available in a number of video games.
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).
