ABSTRACT:
An antialiasing method includes: providing a first fragment; computing a first coverage area representing a portion of the first fragment covered by a first primitive; providing a second fragment juxtaposed to the first fragment and at least partially covered by a second primitive; processing the first coverage area to obtain a corrected coverage area indicative of a visible first fragment portion resulting from the juxtaposition of the fragments; and applying an antialiasing procedure based on the corrected coverage area.
