1. Definition

A half-jittering sampler takes two parameters \(N\) and \(M\). Given a rectangle to be sampled, it subdivides this rectangle into \(N \times M\) subrectangles of equal size. The sampler then returns a random point close to the center of each subrectangle, to make sure samples cannot be too close to each other.
