In this case a visual check that pixman outputs something that looks
reasonable and then use its output as the reference. We can expect to
have discrepancies between all the backends as par for the course.

As for checking that pixman is accurately applying the convolution
matrix, we should write a reference test for pixman comparing use of
the public with manual/alternative computation of the convolution
resampling for a few pixels. And then add as a possible option to
the composite check so that it is part of the randomised smoketesting of
pixman's parameter space.
