    摘要: A pixel is textured by storing a first texel reference value, a second texel reference value, and a texel value operative to map a texel to a 3-tuple of the first texel reference value, the second texel reference value and a third texel reference value to thereby represent a block of texels. A pixel value for the pixel is generated from the stored texel values and the pixel is displayed responsive to the generated pixel value. In some embodiments, respective pluralities of texel reference values and texel values that map thereto are stored for respective ones of a plurality of overlapping blocks of texels. In further embodiments, a first mipmap value for a pixel is bilinearly interpolated from the retrieved texel values for the set of nearest neighbor texels. A second mipmap value for the pixel is generated by averaging the retrieved texel values for the set of nearest neighbor texels. A pixel value for the pixel is generated by interpolating between the first and second mipmap values. The present inventin may be embodied as methods, apparatus and computer program products.

    摘要: A sampling pattern covering an array of pixels for use in an anti-aliasing system is disclosed where each pixel has a pattern of sample points at the edges of the pixel. Moreover is the sample point pattern of each pixel a mirror image and different from the pattern of a directly neighboring pixel.

    摘要: A pixel block (300) is compressed by sub-sampling at least a portion of the pixels (310) into subblocks (320,330). Predictions are determined for the property values of these subblocks (320,330) by calculating a variance measure based on property values of neighboring pixels (310)/subblocks (320,330) in two prediction directions in the block (300) relative to a current subblock (320,330). If the variance is below a threshold, the prediction is calculated based on neighboring property values in both directions. If the measure exceeds the threshold, the neighboring property values in only one of the two predictions are used for calculating the prediction. A guiding bit (450) descriptive of the selected direction is also provided. A prediction error is calculated based on the property value and the calculated prediction. The compressed block (400) comprises an encoded representation (460) of the prediction error and any guiding bit (470).

    摘要: A pixel block (300) is compressed by determining a reference set of multiple reference property values (10-14). A value index associated with a reference property value of the reference set is assigned to each pixel (310-316) in the pixel block (300) based on the original property value of the pixel (310-316). A prediction of the value index is provided based on the value index assigned to at least one neighboring pixel (314, 316) in the pixel block (300). A prediction error is calculated based on the value index assigned to a pixel (316) and its value index prediction. The compressed pixel block (400) comprises encoded representations (424) of the prediction errors and an encoded representation (410) of the reference set.

    摘要: A method and a device for generating a pixel value from a plurality of sample values being generated from a plurality of sample points (321-324). The method comprises generating a plurality of sample values; and weighting said plurality of sample values for determining said pixel value. Each sample value is generated from one of a plurality of candidate sample points (321-324) within a sample region (311-314). The sample region is positioned at a corner of two intersecting borders of the pixel. The size of the sample region is smaller than the size of the pixel. The device is arranged to carry out the method according to the invention.
