  • ADAPTIVE SAMPLING USING DEEP LEARNING
    Publication number: 20230334612
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for adaptive sampling for rendering using deep learning. This includes receiving, at a sampler in a rendering pipeline, a plurality of rendered pixel data, wherein the sampler includes a first machine learning (ML) model. It further includes generating a sampling map for the rendering pipeline using the first ML model and the plurality of rendered pixel data, including predicting a plurality of pixel values in the sampling map based on a generated distribution of pixel values. It further includes rendering an image using the sampler, the sampling map, and a denoiser in the rendering pipeline.

  • Augmented reality image transformation
    Patent number: 9652895
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for augmented reality image transformation. In one implementation, such a system includes a system processor, a system memory, and an image transformation engine stored in the system memory. The system processor is configured to execute the image transformation engine to receive image data corresponding to an image, to detect a feature on a surface of the image, and to synthesize a texture corresponding to the feature. The system processor is further configured to execute the image transformation engine to produce an augmented reality representation of the image having the texture for display to a user, the texture covering a surface of the augmented reality representation of the image corresponding to a portion of the feature that is not visible on the surface of the image.
