One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for improving antialiasing quality, while minimizing performance degradation, by adaptively selecting between multisampling and supersampling on a per pixel basis. The resulting performance may be generally comparable to multisampling. At the same time, however, the resulting quality may be generally comparable to supersampling. The antialiasing technique disclosed herein determines whether to use multisampling or supersampling on a particular pixel being rendered, based on the specific coverage of the associated geometry primitive. Because many pixel centers are covered by a geometry primitive, a statistical performance advantage is gained when pixels in a rendered image can be generating using multisampling rather than supersampling. The cases where pixel centers are not covered tend to be less frequent, but are very significant to image quality. High image quality is maintained by rendering these cases using supersampling.

An entropy decoder receives a code sequence which is obtained by breaking up coefficients that have undergone discrete wavelet transformation into bit planes, and encoding the bit planes, and entropy-decodes the code sequence.
