Reduces visible aliasing while maintaining sharpness and keeping within a. It operates similarly to supersampling in that it upsamples the original image, generating two samples per pixel, but instead of obtaining a separate color value for each subsample, it instead reuses subsamples from neighboring pixels to attain higher quality but with less.
