Abstract
One aspect of the invention is a method for accelerating noise. The method includes the step of creating a plurality noise texture values (n1, . . . , nn) each corresponding to one of a plurality of image pixel values (x1, . . . , xn). The method also includes invoking at least a portion of a graphics pipeline (17) to blend each of the plurality of image pixel values (x1, . . . , xn) with one of the plurality of noise texture values (n1, . . . , nn).
