Define anti-aliasing

What do you understand by the term anti-aliasing? Describe briefly?

E

Expert

Verified

Anti-aliasing is a technique for enhancing the realism of an image by eliminating the jagged edges from it. Such jagged edges or jaggies appear as a computer monitor has square pixels, and such square pixels are inadequate for exhibiting lines or curves which are not parallel to the pixels and other reason is low sampling rate of the image information, which in turn leads to such jaggies.
