Die API-Anforderungen finden Sie in den Spezifikationen oder Erweiterungen. Hier ist eine: https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/texture_filter_anisotropic.txt
Alle GPU-Hersteller weichen wahrscheinlich von der Spezifikation ab, da die AF-Qualität Bestandteil vieler Benchmarks war. Die aktuellen Implementierungen werden sich weiterentwickeln, da neue Workloads die vorhandenen Annäherungen belasten. Um genau zu wissen, was Sie tun, müssen Sie leider Teil eines Unternehmens sein. Das Spektrum der Möglichkeiten können Sie jedoch anhand der folgenden Dokumente abschätzen, die in aufsteigender Reihenfolge der Qualität und der Implementierungskosten aufgeführt sind:
Zitat aus der Spezifikation:
Anisotropic texture filtering substantially changes Section 3.8.5.
Previously a single scale factor P was determined based on the
pixel's projection into texture space. Now two scale factors,
Px and Py, are computed.
Px = sqrt(dudx^2 + dvdx^2)
Py = sqrt(dudy^2 + dvdy^2)
Pmax = max(Px,Py)
Pmin = min(Px,Py)
N = min(ceil(Pmax/Pmin),maxAniso)
Lamda' = log2(Pmax/N)
where maxAniso is the smaller of the texture's value of
TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT or the implementation-defined value of
MAX_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT.
It is acceptable for implementation to round 'N' up to the nearest
supported sampling rate. For example an implementation may only
support power-of-two sampling rates.
It is also acceptable for an implementation to approximate the ideal
functions Px and Py with functions Fx and Fy subject to the following
conditions:
1. Fx is continuous and monotonically increasing in |du/dx| and |dv/dx|.
Fy is continuous and monotonically increasing in |du/dy| and |dv/dy|.
2. max(|du/dx|,|dv/dx|} <= Fx <= |du/dx| + |dv/dx|.
max(|du/dy|,|dv/dy|} <= Fy <= |du/dy| + |dv/dy|.
Instead of a single sample, Tau, at (u,v,Lamda), 'N' locations in the mipmap
at LOD Lamda, are sampled within the texture footprint of the pixel.
Instead of a single sample, Tau, at (u,v,lambda), 'N' locations in
the mipmap at LOD Lamda are sampled within the texture footprint of
the pixel. This sum TauAniso is defined using the single sample Tau.
When the texture's value of TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPHY_EXT is greater
than 1.0, use TauAniso instead of Tau to determine the fragment's
texture value.

It is acceptable to approximate the u and v functions with equally spaced
samples in texture space at LOD Lamda:
i=N

TauAniso = 1/N \ Tau(u(x,y)+dudx(i/(N+1)-1/2), v(x,y)+dvdx(i/(N+1)-1/2)), Px > Py
