Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods and systems for generating modified digital images utilizing a neural network that includes a rendering layer. In particular, the disclosed systems and methods can train a neural network to decompose an input digital image into intrinsic physical properties (e.g., such as material, illumination, and shape). Moreover, the systems and methods can substitute one of the intrinsic physical properties for a target property (e.g., a modified material, illumination, or shape). The systems and methods can utilize a rendering layer trained to synthesize a digital image to generate a modified digital image based on the target property and the remaining (unsubstituted) intrinsic physical properties. Systems and methods can increase the accuracy of modified digital images by generating modified digital images that realistically reflect a confluence of intrinsic physical properties of an input digital image and target (i.e., modified) properties.

Abstract: A method of directly modifying ray tracing samples generated by a ray tracing renderer. Modifications to samples may be made after rendering and before rasterizing, in contrast to typical compositing workflows that manipulate pixels of a rasterized image. Modifications may be based on user input. Rasterization may be performed afterwards at any desired resolutions, for example to adapt to different displays. Samples may be tagged with object identities, facilitating object selection without the need for object masks. Pseudo-random ray patterns typically used by renderers may be supported directly. Many operations may be performed directly on samples, including color changes, object repositioning, and merging of samples from different scenes. Secure samples with scrambled ray directions may be modified directly.

Abstract: Secure rendering system that creates ray tracing samples with obfuscated positions, so that images can only be viewed by an authorized consumer able to recover the sample positions. Obfuscation of ray directions is integrated into the rendering process, for example by incorporating encryption into a lens shader. The rendering system never stores or transmits an image without obfuscating positions, so even the rendering system cannot see the image it is rendering. Embodiments may use public key cryptography, so that encryption of sample positions is done with a public key, and only the owner of the secret private key can view the rendered image. Since keys are asymmetric, the rendering system cannot decrypt the obfuscated samples. Piracy of rendered images is therefore mitigated. Some compositing operations may be performed on the secure rendering output prior to decrypting sample positions; for example, colors may be modified globally or for selected objects.

Abstract: An image display device 1 includes a laser light source unit 10, a screen 12 formed of at least two diffusion members, a vibration mechanism 13 vibrating at least one diffusion member, and a scanning element 11 scanning laser light in a first direction (a y direction) on the screen and a second direction (an x direction) orthogonal to the first direction. A scanning speed of the scanning element 11 in the second direction is faster than a scanning speed in the first direction, and a diameter D of the laser light in the first direction on the screen is greater than an interval Yp in the first direction on the scanning trajectory in the second direction on the screen. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an image display device displaying an image having a low speckle with high luminance, without vibrating the diffusion member at a high speed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe a software based emulator of a graphics processing unit (GPU) that is configured to operate over a cloud-based network. A virtual image containing graphics primitives is divided into a plurality of tiles. A load balancer assigns tiles to rasterization threads in order to evenly distribute the processing load. The rasterization threads then rasterize their assigned tiles and deliver rendered pixels to a frame buffer. The frame buffer builds a frame from the rendered pixels and then delivers the frame over the network to a client device platform. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for creating and outputting a masked parametric map (e.g., hemoglobin oxygenation) that reflects parameters in a first parametric map (e.g., relative oxygenation) and second parametric map (e.g., relative hemoglobin). In an illustrative embodiment, the method comprises steps of generating a first parametric map, generating a second parametric map, and then generating a masked parametric map that reflects parameters in the first and second parametric maps. The masked map may present information not readily apparent from the first parametric map and the second parametric map, and not obtainable from the first and second parametric maps independently. The first parametric map may be based upon portions of two optoacoustic images created using differing wavelengths of light. The first parametric map is reflective of areas within the volume of tissue that have a differing response to the longer wavelength light event compared to the shorter one.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system (100) for rendering an image based on a volumetric image data set, the system comprising: a computation unit (110) for computing an initial pixel intensity of a pixel of the image, defined by a corresponding voxel intensity of a corresponding voxel comprised in the volumetric image data set; and an adjustment unit (120) for computing a final pixel intensity of the pixel, based on the initial pixel intensity and on a location of the corresponding voxel. Thus, the system of the invention enables new visualizations of volumetric image data sets. Advantageously, unlike a system using the VIP technique, which requires adjusting intensities of voxels comprised in the image data set, the system of the current invention is arranged to adjust intensities of pixels. This reduces the computational complexity of the rendering technique employed by the system relative to the computational complexity of the VIP technique.
