  • SPATIO-TEMPORAL NOISE MASKS AND SAMPLING USING VECTORS FOR IMAGE PROCESSING AND LIGHT TRANSPORT SIMULATION SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20240037838
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to generate blue noise masks for real-time image rendering and enhancement. In at least one embodiment, a vector-valued noise mask is generated and applied to one or more images to generate one or more enhanced images for image processing (e.g., real-time image rendering). In at least one embodiment, the noise mask includes vector values per pixel and is able to handle the temporal domain (e.g., add time to the spatial domain) to improve image quality when rendering images over multiple frames.
    Type: Application
