Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are provided for improved filtering and correcting of glyphs on a GPU. The computational intensity required for filtering and/or rendering can be reduced by pre-calculating some or all of the calculations needed for converting coverage data into corrected pixel values. Additional efficiencies may be realized in some embodiments by transferring data from a CPU to a GPU in an improved format. The improvements can be realized in a variety of graphics formats.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for performing antialiased rendering, comprising: a processor, an associated display, and an associated memory containing computer-executable instructions, the processor executing the computer-executable instructions contained in the associated memory to provide a system configured to: receive 1-bit-per-pixel coverage data having an oversampled format, the received coverage data having a storage format of greater than 1 bit per byte of storage; s…
