Jose A. IGLESIAS-GUITIAN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10922872
    Abstract: Techniques for selectively removing Monte Carlo (MC) noise from a geometric buffer (G-buffer). Embodiments identify the G-buffer for rendering an image of a three-dimensional scene from a viewpoint. Embodiments determine, for each of a plurality of pixels in the image being rendered, respective world position information based on the three-dimensional scene and a position and orientation of the viewpoint. A pre-filtering operation is then performed to selectively remove the MC noise from the G-buffer, based on the determined world position information for the plurality of pixels.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9892549
    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture for rendering an image. Embodiments include selecting a plurality of positions within the image and constructing a respective linear prediction model for each selected position. A respective prediction window is determined for each constructed linear prediction model. Additionally, embodiments render the image using the linear prediction models using the constructed linear prediction models, where at least one of the constructed linear prediction models is used to predict values for two or more of a plurality of pixels of the image, and where a value for at least one of the plurality of pixels is determined based on two or more of the constructed linear prediction models.
