  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11289125
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a media content conformation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an editing file including edits to media content, the edits being based on a compressed representation of the media content and having a first data format. The software code also obtains cross-referencing data that maps a timecode data of the compressed representation of the media content to segments of an uncompressed representation of the media content, and transforms the editing file to a conformation file including the edits in a second data format based on the cross-referencing data. The conformation file enables rendering of an edited version of the media content including the edits.

  • Patent number: 10832375
    Abstract: Particular embodiments decompose an image comprising a scene into a diffuse component and a specular component. Each of the components represent a contribution to lighting in the scene. A set of motion vectors may be extracted in order to capture motion in the scene. Finally, a final contribution of each of the components to the image may be computed based on the motion vectors.

  • Patent number: 10832374
    Abstract: Particular embodiments perform a light path analysis of an image comprising a scene, wherein the scene comprises at least one refractive or reflective object. The image may be decomposed based on the light path analysis into a plurality of components, each of the components representing a contribution to lighting in the scene by a different type of light interaction. For each of the components, one or more motion vectors are extracted for each of the components in order to capture motion in the scene. Finally, a final contribution of each of the components to the image is computed based on the motion vectors.

  • Patent number: 10565685
    Abstract: According to one implementation, an image rendering system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing an image denoising software code. The hardware processor executes the image denoising software code to receive an image file including multiple pixels, each pixel containing multiple depth bins, and to select a pixel including a noisy depth bin from among the pixels for denoising. The hardware processor further executes the image denoising software code to identify a plurality of reference depth bins from among the depth bins contained in one or more of the pixels, for use in denoising the noisy depth bin, and to denoise the noisy depth bin using an average of depth bin values corresponding respectively to each of the reference depth bins.
