US Patent Issued to Imagination Technologies on Aug. 12 for "Anisotropic texture filtering using weights of an anisotropic filter that minimize a cost function" (British Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,387,416, issued on Aug. 12, was assigned to Imagination Technologies Ltd. (Kings Langley, Great Britain).

"Anisotropic texture filtering using weights of an anisotropic filter that minimize a cost function" was invented by Rostam King (Hertfordshire, Great Britain).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of performing anisotropic texture filtering includes generating one or more parameters describing an elliptical footprint in texture space; performing isotropic filtering at each sampling point of a set of sampling points in an ellipse to be sampled to produce a plurality of isotropic filter results, the ellipse to be sampled based on the...
