View source for Anisotropic Filtering

Anisotropic Filteringis a [[Texture_filtering|texture filtering method]], specifically for non-square filtering, usually of textures shown in radical perspective (such as a pavement texture as seen from a camera lying on the road). 

More generally, anisotropic improves clarity of images with severely unequal [[AspectRatio|aspect ratios]]. Anisotropic filtering is an improvement of isotropic mip-mapping, but because it must take many samples, it can be very [[Memory|memory]] intensive.
