Abstract
An image rendering method includes generating pixels in accordance with graphic information, determining a direction of anisotropy of a footprint obtained by projecting the pixel on a texture on which a set of texels are disposed on uv-coordinates, and executing sampling of a MIP map in accordance with the direction of anisotropy, and executing texture mapping for the pixel. The direction of anisotropy is determined by comparing lengths in at least three different directions of the footprint on the texture.
