Morphological Antialiasing

Morphological Antialiasing Alexander Reshetov Intel Labs Figure 1. Fairy Forest model: morphological antialiasing improves the quality of the rendered image without having a noticeable impact on performance. ABSTRACT We present a new algorithm that creates plausibly antialiased images by looking for certain patterns in an original image and then blending colors in the neighborhood of these patterns according to a set of simple rules. We construct these rules to work as a post-processing step in ray tracing applications, allowing approximate, yet fast and robust antialiasing. The algorithm works for any rendering technique and scene complexity.
