Abstract

When sampling a pair of mipmaps when performing anisotropic filtering when sampling a texture to provide an output sampled texture value for use when rendering an output in a graphics processing system, more positions along an anisotropy direction are sampled in the more detailed mipmap level than in the less detailed mipmap level. Each position that is sampled may have a single sample taken for it, or may be supersampled.
