- Plural of antialiasing; techniques or processes used in digital graphics and signal processing to reduce jagged edges and artifacts that occur when displaying curves or diagonal lines on a pixel-based screen.
Usage: technical; computing; graphics
Examples
- Modern video games use multiple antialiasings to improve visual quality.
- The graphics engine applies different antialiasings depending on the hardware capabilities.
- Antialiasings help reduce the stair-step effect on diagonal lines in digital images.
- Developers must balance performance with the number of antialiasings applied to the scene.
- High-quality antialiasings require more computational power but produce smoother results.
