Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for performing high order filtering in a graphics processing unit (GPU). In examples of the disclosure, high order filtering may be implemented on a modified texture engine of a GPU using a single shader instruction. The modified texture engine may be configured to fetch all source pixels needed for the high order filtering and blend them together with pre-loaded filtering weights.
