  • Patent number: 11790491
    Abstract: A machine learning based image processing architecture and associated applications are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a machine learning framework is trained to learn low level image attributes such as object/scene types, geometries, placements, materials and textures, camera characteristics, lighting characteristics, contrast, noise statistics, etc. Thereafter, the machine learning framework may be employed to detect such attributes in other images and process the images at the attribute level.

  • Patent number: 11704861
    Abstract: Adaptive sampling of pixels is disclosed. In some embodiments, convergence of pixels of a rendering is evaluated by removing texture from the rendering to eliminate non-convergence due to texture complexity and determining whether pixels values satisfy convergence criteria associated with pixel sampling. Those pixels of the rendering that have not converged are sampled with one or more additional samples. The completed rendering is output. Pixels of the completed rendering satisfy the convergence criteria and are not uniformly sampled.

  • Patent number: 11704862
    Abstract: Improved techniques for generating video content are disclosed. In some embodiments, it is determined whether a frame comprising a scene is an independent frame or a predictive frame. In the event that the frame is an independent frame, the frame is encoded independently. In the event that the frame is a predictive frame, block differences and motion vectors are encoded, wherein motion vectors are determined from a known three-dimensional model and time evolution of the scene.

  • Patent number: 11676332
    Abstract: Techniques for generating an ensemble image are disclosed. In some embodiments, images associated with a plurality of independent scenes are translated to a prescribed origin, translated images associated with each independent scene are transformed into a prescribed perspective; and pixels of an image array having the prescribed perspective that is associated with each independent scene is populated with corresponding pixels from the transformed translated images associated with that independent scene. An ensemble image comprising the prescribed perspective is at least in part generated by combining at least some pixels of image arrays associated with the plurality of independent scenes.

  • Publication number: 20230086562
    Abstract: Techniques for generating aligned, augmented reality views are disclosed. In some embodiments, an estimate of a floorplan of a three-dimensional space is first generated based on one or more received views of the three-dimensional space from a camera located in the three-dimensional space. A camera pose of the camera in the three-dimensional space is next determined based on generating a corrected floorplan from the estimate of the floorplan based on foreknowledge associated with the floorplan. Display of a rendering having the determined camera pose is facilitated in an actual view of the camera, resulting in an aligned, augmented reality view.
