Anti-aliasing in topological color spaces

Published:31 August 1986Publication History

ABSTRACT

The power of a color space to perform well in interpolation problems such as anti-aliasing and smooth-shading is dependent on the topology of the color space as well as the number of elements it contains.We develop the Major-minor color space, which has a topology and representation that lends itself to simple anti-aliasing computations between elements of an arbitrary set of colors in an inexpensive frame store.
