1. A technique in computer graphics that reduces jagged edges and visual artifacts in digital images by smoothing the boundaries between pixels of different colors.
Usage: technical; computing

Examples

• Antialiasing improves the visual quality of text and diagonal lines on computer screens.
• Modern video games use antialiasing to make 3D graphics appear smoother and more realistic.
• The graphics card applies antialiasing to reduce the stair-step effect on curved edges.
• Enabling antialiasing in the game settings can reduce performance but improves image quality.
• Antialiasing algorithms blend colors at object boundaries to create a softer appearance.
