I have been trying to control how the pixels are interpolated with distort perspective as follows:

...-interpolate nearest -distort Perspective ...

I am referring to this: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/misc/#interpolate

There is absolutely no difference in result with "nearest", however other method like "Average16" the difference is visible. Is it possible to apply nearest interpolation to perspective?

Basically I am trying to achieve a distort that is NOT anti-aliased.

Any help is appreciated!

-interpolate nearest -distort Perspective

try
-filter point turns off the EWA interpolation so that -interpolate nearestneighbor works. See the example for Pixel Color Lookup at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/distorts/#mapping

I am not sure what "nearest" does. It is not listed for -interpolate on the options page at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... nterpolate. I wonder if that is a typo for convert -list interpolate?

-interpolation in distort only happens when...

• You turn off "Scaled Area Resampling" specifically EWA sampling.
  http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/distor ... nterpolate
• The EWA sampling fails to hit any pixel at all. That generally ONLY can happen because you played with expert filter settings,
  and made the filters 'support window' or elliptical area so small it could not even find a single pixel in the area to sample. That is you really stuffed things up.

Fred "nearest" or "NearestNeighbor" just takes the color from the nearest pixel that is to the 'lookup point'.
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/misc/#nearest-neighbor
It is a good interpolation to use when you want to be sure you get exact colors when the lookup point many not be absolutely exact, perhaps due to floating point. However No-Op distorts should not have that problem, though it recommends it as a precaution even though it is not needed.

Thank you for your help.
