Abstract: Described herein is a graphics processor configured to perform time based frame generation via a temporally aware machine learning model that enables the generation of a frame at a target timestamp relative to the render times of input frames. For example, for an extrapolated frame generated by the temporally aware machine learning model, a low relative timestamp would indicate that the extrapolated frame will appear close in time after the final frame in a sequence of frames and should be relatively close in appearance to the final frame. A higher relative timestamp would indicate that the extrapolated frame should depict a greater degree of evolution based on the optical flow.

Its safety is outstanding and it does not require repeated injections over a long period. Thus, it is expected to be useful as a preventive or therapeutic agent for allergic diseases induced by house dust mites.
