  • Full-scene anti-aliasing method and system
    Patent number: 8564609
    Abstract: A method and system for performing full-scene anti-aliasing for an image through a technique of rotating and unrotating rasterization of a scene and rendering a resulting image. A scene is rasterized at a first angle relative to a first coordinate system to generate a plurality of pixels, which are then applied to a polygon surface that is rendered at a second angle equal to the inverse of the first angle. Thus, the resulting image is re-oriented with respect to the first coordinate system.

  • Method and system for aiding user alignment for capturing partially overlapping digital images
    Patent number: 8072504
    Abstract: A method and system for aiding user alignment of two or more partially overlapping digital images. A first image is captured. A portion of a first image is displayed with a preview of a portion of a second image. The second image is adjusted by movement of an used to capture the first image and generate the preview of the second image). Once satisfactory alignment is achieved, the second image is captured.

  • Multi-sample method and system for rendering antialiased images
    Publication number: 20020140706
    Abstract: A method and system for performing multi-sample rendering of antialiased images. The pixels of an image are sampled in accordance with sampling patterns. Each of the sampling patterns defines sampling locations at which sample values are calculated. A value for a pixel in the image is calculated by combining respective sample values.
