Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a computing system having at least one CPU (Central Processing Unit) and at least one graphics processor, wherein said computing system is configured to: provide an original image having an array of samples; for each of the samples within a predefined sample margin of an outer edge of the original image, define each of the samples within the predefined sample margin as a splat in said target image; render each of the samples defined as a splat employing the graphics processor and a splatting rendering technique resulting in edge splat samples; for each of the samples outside the predefined sample margin of the outer edge of the original image, render an interior of the target image using bilinear interpolation resulting in interior samples; combine the edge splat samples and the interior samples as the target image; and present said target image comprised of each splat rendered using the splatting rendering technique and the interior of the target image rendered using the bilinear interpolation technique.
