Texture filtering is essential in enhancing the visual quality of real-time rendering. Conventional schemes do not consider the characteristics of texture content, thus the sharpness of edges in texture images cannot be retained. This paper proposes a novel texture-filtering algorithm, which consists of edge-preserving interpolation and edge-preserving MIP-map prefiltering. The memory bandwidth requirement is kept the same as in conventional schemes by dynamically adjusting the interpolation kernel. Hardware implementation is also provided to show the real-time processing capability.
