Patent EP-1447774-A3 (EP)
Inventor: LEATHER MARK M
IPC: G06T15/80
Filed: 2004-01-08
Abstract: The embodiments of the present invention are a method to perform anti-aliasing using multi-sampling on a non-power-of-two pixel grid. Using the present invention with 6 sample multisampling gives the same visual antialiasing quality as 8 samples using a prior art technique but uses less memory. A non-power-of-two equally spaced sample from a conventional grid of size NxN, where N is 12 can be chosen using the present invention. A scan conversion to determine the set of pixels covered by a polygon is performed in two parts. According to one embodiment, the present invention can multiply and divide by "N" in order to multisample an image using samples per pixel chosen from a NxN sub-sample grid, where "N" is not necessarily a power of 2. The present invention performs the divide by "N" step, where the step is achieved using a quick divide by 3 or 12 technique.

Abstract: A data collecting system (100) includes a data collecting device (2) and plural data processing devices (10) connected to the data collecting device (2) by a cascade connection. For example, each of the data processing devices (10) individually executes an A/D conversion and other data process, and adds data obtained by the data process to a data transmitting signal to transmit it to the subsequent cascade-connection data processing device (10) in sequence. The data processing device (10a) at the head of the cascade connection generates the data transmitting signal including a data processing period (Tp) and a communication period (Tdt) , and transmits it to the subsequent data processing device (10b, 10c). Each of the data processing devices (10) executes the data process in the data processing period (Tp), and transmits data obtained by the data process to the subsequent data processing device (10) in the communication period (Tdt) on the basis of the data transmitting signal.
