Unreferenced date March 2007 Wikify date October 2009 In computer programming , aliasing refers to the situation where the same memory location can be accessed using different names . For instance, if a function takes two pointers A and B which have the same value, then the name A 0 aliases the name B 0 . In this case we say the pointers A and B alias each other. Note that the concept of pointer aliasing is not very well defined two pointers A and B may or may not alias each other, depending on what operations are performed in the function using A and B for instance, in memcpy A 8, A, 8 , the dest and source pointers do not alias, but in memmove A 8, A, 9 they do. Aliasing and re ordering Aliasing introduces strong constraints on program execution order. If two write accesses which alias occur in sequence in a program text, they must occur in sequence in the final machine code. Re ordering the accesses will produce an incorrect program result in the general case . The same is true for a write access and a read access. However, if two read accesses which alias occur in sequence in a program text, they need not occur in the same sequence in the machine code aliasing read accesses are safe to re order. This is because the underlying data is not changed by the read operation, so the same value is always read. It is vitally important that a compiler can detect which accesses may alias each other, so that re ordering optimizations can be performed correctly. Several strategies are possible In C, any function pointer argument may alias any other function pointer argument. The compiler ... different types strict aliasing rules .

Mergeto Anti aliasing discuss Talk Anti aliasing Merge proposal date May 2009 Temporal anti aliasing seeks to reduce or remove the effects of temporal aliasing . Temporal aliasing is caused by the Sampling signal processing sampling rate i.e. number of frames per second of a scene being too low compared to the transformation speed of objects inside of the scene this causes objects to appear to jump or appear at a location instead of giving the impression of smoothly moving towards them. To avoid aliasing artifacts altogether, the sampling rate of a scene must be at least twice as high as the fastest moving object. ref name grant Grant, C. 1985 . http doi.acm.org 10.1145 325165.325184 Integrated analytic spatial and temporal anti aliasing for polyhedra in 4 space .

Multisample anti aliasing MSAA is a type of anti aliasing , a technique used in computer graphics to improve image quality. Definition The term generally refers to a special case of supersampling . Initial implementations of full scene anti aliasing FSAA worked conceptually by simply rendering a scene at a higher resolution, and then downsampling to a lower resolution output. Most modern Graphics processing unit GPUs are capable of this form of antialiasing, but it greatly taxes resources such as texture bandwidth and fillrate . If a game is highly Transform, clipping, and lighting TCL bound or Central processing unit CPU bound, supersampling can be used without much performance hit. According to the OpenGL GL ARB multisample ref http www.opengl.org registry specs ARB multisample.txt ARB multisample , Additions to Chapter 3 of the 1.2.1 specification ref specification, multisampling refers to a specific optimization of supersampling.

Alpha to coverage is a Multisample anti aliasing multisampling computer graphics technique useful for situations where dense foliage or grass must be rendered in a video game . This technique uses the Alpha compositing alpha channel of Texture mapping textures as a Mask computing Image masks coverage mask for anti aliasing . Alpha to coverage multisampling is based on regular multisampling, except that the Alpha compositing alpha coverage mask is Bitwise AND AND ANDed with the multisample mask. Alpha to coverage converts the Alpha compositing alpha component output from the pixel shader to a coverage mask. When the Multisample anti aliasing multisampling is applied each output fragment gets a transparency of 0 or 1 depending on alpha coverage and the Multisample anti aliasing multisampling result.

Unreferenced date December 2009 An analog sampled filter an electronic filter that is a Hybrid integrated circuit hybrid between an analog filter analog and a digital filter . The input signal is analog signal analog , and usually stored in capacitor s. The time domain is Discrete time discrete , however. Distinct analog samples are shifted through an array of holding capacitors as in a bucket brigade . Analog adders and amplifiers do the arithmetic in the signal domain, just as in an analog computer . Note that these filters are subject to aliasing phenomena just like a digital filter, and anti aliasing filters will usually be required. See Filter design Companies such as Linear Technology and Maxim Integrated Products Maxim produce integrated circuit s that implement this functionality. Filters up to the 8th order may be implemented using a single chip. Some are fully configurable some are pre configured, usually as low pass filter s. Due to the high filter order that can be achieved in an easy and stable manner, single chip analog sampled filters are often used for implementing anti aliasing filters for digital filters. The analog sampled filter will in its turn need yet another anti aliasing filter, but this can often be implemented as a simple 1st order low pass analog filter consisting of one series resistor and one capacitor to ground electricity ground .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 This article is related to signal processing . For other meanings of the word Decimation , please see Decimation disambiguation . In digital signal processing , decimation is a technique for reducing the number of Sample signal samples in a Discrete signal discrete time signal . The element which implements this technique is referred to as a decimator . Decimation is a two step process Anti aliasing filter Low pass anti aliasing filter Downsampling An example of decimation the frequency of a recorded sound can be raised an octave in other words, doubled in frequency by eliminating every other sample without changing the sampling rate . This will result in aliasing if the sound contains overtones whose doubled frequency will exceed half the sampling rate. Decimation aliasing can be avoided by eliminating those overtones with a lowpass filter before downsampling. The same principle applies to eliminating samples at other intervals.
