Semi-Lagrangian texture advection techniques exhibit high numerical diffusion, which acts as a low-pass filter and tends to smooth out high frequencies. In the spatial domain, numerical diffusion leads to a loss of details and causes a blurred image. To reduce this effect, higher-order interpolation methods or BFECC can be employed separately. In this paper, we combine both approaches and analyze the quality of different compositions of higher-order interpolation schemes with and without BFECC. We employ radial power spectrum diagrams for different advection times and input textures to evaluate the conservation of the spectrum up to fifth-order polynomials. Our evaluation shows that third-order backward advection delivers a good compromise between quality and computational costs.
