ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and article of manufacture for reducing aliasing. A method in accordance with one embodiment sampling a pixel of an image at a plurality of pixel sample points to produce a corresponding plurality of pixel sample values, wherein at least one of the plurality of pixel sample points is located at a predetermined displacement from a position along an edge of the pixel. The method further includes combining the plurality of pixel sample values to produce a displayed pixel value. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
