moire pattern Refers to the type of visual pattern that is created by the interference of
two grids overlaid on top of one another. Moire patterns can occur in images taken
with digital cameras when the linear pattern in the image interferes with the linear
pattern of the digital image sensor pixel array. The moire pattern often results from a
weak anti-aliasing filter employed by the camera’s image processor. See also digital
