Interleaved Sampling for Supersampling

Alexander Keller, Wolfgang Heidrich


Here we show the effect of interleaved sampling on supersampling.
 

The first image depicts a scene with four samples per pixel and identical sampling patterns for all pixels (Accumulation Buffer approach).


 

The second image shows the same scene with interleaved sampling and also 4 samples per pixel. The regular structures from the first image have been replaced by irregular noise, which yields a significantly smoother appearance.
