The first order active RC filter is set at 100kHz to minimize the die size and variations of linear phase and gain in 0-4kHz passband. The 2-tap FIR filter provides more than -53dB attenuation at 2MHz +4kHz frequency range. The proposed filter achieved more than -76dB attenuation at sampling frequency with +0.01 phase linearity and +0.02dB gain variation within 0-4kHz bandwidth. The active die area of the fully differential filter is 0.17mm2 in 0.5um CMOS technology. The experimental and simulation results have been obtained and the feasibility of the proposed method is shown.展开更多

Compared to traditional routine of anti-aliasing, image-based methods, which combined with deferred shading, can efficiently decouple anti-aliasing step from standard graphics pipeline. However, most of the existing image-based methods consume video memory, bandwidth and computation resources heavily. In this paper, we propose an optimized anti-aliasing method, which can efficiently reduce the multi-sampling rate by a multi-sampling mask. We carefully designed the rendering system to avoid serial execution on branch divergence, by utilizing both modern GPU’s features and latest shader model. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve high-quality synthesized image with real-time performance.展开更多

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the anti-aliasing techniques used in computer graphics, which can be classified into two categories: post-filtering based anti-aliasing and pre-filtering based anti-aliasing. We discuss post-filtering based anti-aliasing algorithms through classifying them into hardware anti-aliasing techniques and post-process techniques for deferred rendering. Comparisons are made among different methods to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of every category. We also review the utilization of anti-aliasing techniques from the first category in different graphic processing units, i.e., different NVIDIA and AMD series. This review provides a guide that should allow researchers to position their work in this important research area, and new research problems are identified.展开更多

The Laplacian pyramid in original contourlet decomposes a signal into channels that have the same bandwidth on a logarithmic scale, and is not suitable for images with different behavior in frequency domain. We employ a new tunable-Q decomposition defined in the frequency domain by which one can flexibly tune the bandwidth of decomposition channels. With an acceptable redundancy, this tunable-Q contourlet is also anti-aliasing and its basis is sharply localized in the desired area of frequency and spatial domain. Our experiments in nonlinear approximation and denoising show that the contourlet using a better-suitable quality factor can achieve a more promising performance and often outperform wavelets and the previous contourlets both in visual quality and in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio.展开更多

That allows using advanced control algorithms with a built-in intelligence with a sufficient speed, for many demanding applications. These capabilities make the embedded control ideal for using at complex plants and for obtaining the highest performance in a wide area of operations. However, control performance also strongly depends on the feedback. A short latency and a high precision of embedded analog peripherals allow building fast and accurate control loops. The paper proposes an easy design method of high performance analog to digital converter filtering path, optimized for control applications.展开更多

The idea is to use a simple wavelet-based linear interpolation scheme as our initial estimate of high-resolution image;and to intensify geometric structure in initial estimation with an iterative projection process based on hard-thresholding scheme in a new angular multiselectivity domain. This new domain is defined by combining of laplacian pyramid and angular multiselectivity decomposition, the result is multiselective contourlets which can capture and restore adaptively and slightly better geometric structure of image.

When rendering spacious water surface such as that of the lakes and reservoirs, aliasing and/or moire artifacts frequently occur in the regions far from the viewpoint. This is because water surface consists of stochastic water waves which are usually modeled by periodic bump mapping. The incident rays on the water surface are actually scattered by the bumped waves, and the reflected rays at each sample point are distributed in a solid angle. To get rid of the artifacts of moire pattern, we estimate this solid angle of reflected rays and trace these rays. An image-based accelerating method is adopted so that the contribution of each reflected ray can be quickly obtained without elaborate intersection calculation. We also demonstrate anti-aliased shadows of sunlight and skylight on the water surface. Both the rendered images and animations show excellent effects on the water surface of a reservoir.展开更多

This is done in order to simplify computation of the resulting illumination. Naive approaches that sum the direct illumination from many VPLs are computationally expensive;scalable methods can be computed more efficiently by clustering VPLs, and then estimating their sum by sampling a small number of VPLs. Although significant speed-up has been achieved using scalable methods, clustering leads to uncontrollable errors, resulting in noise in the rendered images. In this paper, we propose a method to improve the estimation accuracy of manylight rendering involving such visual and illumination effects. We demonstrate that our method can improve the estimation accuracy by a factor of 2.3 over the previous method.展开更多
