 Aliasing is a certain mostly undesirable phenomenon that distorts signals (such as sounds or images) when they are [sampled](sampling.md) [discretely](discrete.md) (captured at periodic intervals) -- this can happen e.g. when capturing sound with digital recorders or when [rendering](rendering.md) computer graphics. There exist [antialiasing](antialiasing.md) methods for suppressing or even eliminating aliasing. Aliasing can be often seen on small checkerboard patterns as a moiré pattern (spatial aliasing), or maybe more famously on rotating wheels or helicopter rotor blades that in a video look like standing still or rotating the other way (temporal aliasing, caused by capturing images at intervals given by the camera's [FPS](fps.md)).

+# Antialiasing
+
+Antialiasing (AA) means preventing [aliasing](aliasing.mg), i.e. distortion of signal (images, audio, video, ...) caused by discrete sampling. Most people think antialiasing stands for "smooth edges in video game graphics", however that's a completely inaccurate understanding of antialiasing: yes, one of the most noticeable effects of 3D graphics antialiasing for a common human is that of having smooth edges, but smooth edges are not the primary goal, they are not the only effect and they are not even the most important effect of antialisng. Understanding antialiasing requires understanding what aliasing is, which is not a completely trivial thing to do (it's not the most difficult thing in the world either, but most people are just afraid of mathematics, so they prefer to stick with "antialiasing = smooth edges" simplification).
+
+The basic **sum up** is following: aliasing is a negative effect which may arise when we try to sample (capture) continuous signals potentially containing high frequencies (the kind of "infinitely complex" data we encounter in real world such as images or sounds) in discrete (non-continuous) ways by capturing the signal values at specific points in time (as opposed to capturing [integrals](integral.md) of intervals), i.e. in ways native and natural to [computers](computer.md). Note that the aliasing effect is mathematical and is kind of a "punishment" for our "[cheating](cheating.md)" which we do by trying to simplify capturing of very complex signals, i.e. aliasing has nothing to do with [noise](noise.md) or recording equipment imperfections, and it may occur not only when recording real world data but also when simulating real world, for example during 3D graphics rendering (which simulates capturing real world with a camera). A typical example of such aliasing effect is a video of car wheels rotating very fast (with high frequency) with a relatively low FPS camera, which then seem to be rotating very slowly and in opposite direction -- a high frequency signal (fast rotating wheels) caused a distortion (illusion of wheels rotating slowly in opposite direction) due to simplified discrete sampling (recording video as a series of photographs taken at specific points in time in relatively low FPS). Similar undesirable effects may appear e.g. on high resolution textures when they're scaled down on a computer screen (so called Moiré effect), but also in sound or any other data. Antialiasing exploits the mathematical Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem that says that aliasing cannot occur when the sampling frequency is high enough relatively to the highest frequency in the sampled data, i.e. antialising tries to prevent aliasing effects typically by either preventing high frequency from appearing in the sampled data (e.g. blurring textures, see [MIP mapping](mipmap.md)) or by increasing the sampling frequency (e.g. [multisampling](multisampling.md)). As a side effect of better sampling we also get things such as smoothly rendered edges etc.
+
+Note that the word *anti* in antialising means that some methods may not prevent aliasing completely, they may just try to suppress it somehow. For example the [FXAA](fxaa.md) (fast approximate antialiasing) method is a [postprocessing](postprocessing.md) algorithm which takes an already rendered image and tries to make it as if it was properly rendered in ways preventing aliasing, however it cannot be 100% successful as it doesn't know the original signal, all it can do is try to give us a [good enough](good_enough.md) [approximation](approximation.md).
+
+**How to do antialiasing?** There are many ways, depending on the kind of data (e.g. the number of dimensions of the signal or what frequencies you expect in it) or required quality (whether you want to prevent aliasing completely or just suppress it). As stated above, most methods make use of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem which states that **aliasing cannot occur if the sampling frequency is at least twice as high as the highest frequency in the sampled signal**. I.e. if you can make sure your sampling frequency is high enough relatively to the highest frequency in the signal, you will completely prevent aliasing -- you can do this by either processing the input signal with a low pass filter (e.g. blurring an image) or by increasing your sampling frequency (e.g. rendering at higher resolution). Some specific antialiasing methods include:
+
+- **avoiding aliasing**: A pretty straightforward way :) Aliasing can be avoided e.g. simply by using low resolution textures as opposed to high resolution ones. 
+- **[multisampling](multisampling.md)** (MSAA), **[supersampling](supersampling.md)** (SSAA) etc.: Increasing sampling frequency, typically in computer graphics rendering. The specific methods differ by where and how they increase the number of samples (some methods increase sampling uniformly everywhere, some try to detect aliasing areas and only put more samples there etc). A simple (but expensive) way of doing this is rendering the image at higher resolution and then scaling it back down.
+- **[FXAA](fxaa.md)**: Cheating, approximation of antialiasing by [postprocessing](postprocessing.md), usually in [shaders](shader.md), cheap but can be imperfect.
+- **[MIP mapping](mipmap.md)**: Way of preventing aliasing in rendering of scaled-down [textures](texture.md) by having precomputed scaled-down antialiased versions of it.
+- **[anisotrpic filtering](anisotropic_filtering.md)**: Improved version of MIP mapping.
+- **[motion blur](motion_blur.md)**: Temporal antialiasing in video, basically increasing the number of samples in the time domain.

 - Wikipedia includes material under **[fair use](fair_use.md)**, such as screenshots from proprietary games, which makes it partially [proprietary](proprietary.md), i.e. Wikipedia is technically **NOT 100% free**. Material under fair use is still proprietary and can put remixers to legal trouble (e.g. if they put material from Wikipedia to a commercial context), even if the use on Wikipedia itself is legal (remember, proprietary software is legal too).
 - Wikipedia often suffers from writing inconsistency, bad structure of text and **poor writing** in general. In a long article you sometimes find repeating paragraphs, sometimes a lot of stress is put on one thing while mentioning more important things only briefly, the level of explanation expertness fluctuates etc. This is because in many articles most people make small contributions without reading the whole article and without having any visions of the whole. And of course there are many contributors without any writing skills.
 - Wikipedia is **too popular** which has the negative side effect of becoming a **political battlefield**. This is one of the reasons why there has to be a lot of **bureaucracy**, including things such as **locking of articles** and the inability to edit everything. Even if an article can technically be edited by anyone, there are many times people watching and reverting changes on specific articles. So Wikipedia can't fully proclaim it can be "edited by anyone".
 - Wikipedia is **hard to read**. The articles go to great depth and mostly even simple topics are explained with a great deal of highly technical terms so that they can't be well understood by people outside the specific field, even if the topic could be explained simply (Simple English Wikipedia tries to fix this a little bit at least). Editors try to include as much information as possible which too often makes the main point of a topic drown in the blablabla. Wikipedia's style is also very formal and "not [fun](fun.md)" to read, which isn't bad in itself but it just is boring to read. Some alternative encyclopedias such as [Citizendium](citizendium.md) try to offer a more friendly reading style.
 - Wikipedia is **not [public domain](public_domain.md)**. It is licensed under [CC-BY-SA](cc_by_sa.md) which is a [free](free_culture.md) license, but has a few burdening conditions. We belive knowledge shouldn't be owned or burdened by any conditions.
 - Even though there are no ads, there regularly appears **political propaganda**, main page just **hard pushes [feminist](feminism.md) shit** as featured images and articles, there appear popups for LGBT/feminist activism, and of course all articles are littered with [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) propaganda etc.
-- **Many articles are bought**, there exist companies that offer editing and maintaining certain articles in a way the client desires and of course corporations and politicians take this opportunity -- of course Wikipedia somewhat tries to prevent it but no prevention ever works 100%, so a lot information on Wikipedia is either highly misleading, untrue, censored or downright fabricated.
