Abstract: Various approaches described herein improve the quality of results when fusing depth maps to generate dynamic three-dimensional (“3D”) models, applying texture details to dynamic 3D models, or rendering views of textured, dynamic 3D models. For example, when fusing depth maps to generate a dynamic 3D model, a fusion component can also incorporate intrinsic color values for points of the dynamic 3D model, potentially making the dynamic 3D model more accurate, especially for areas in which depth values are not reliable or not available. As another example, when applying texture details, a rendering component can apply smoothed, viewpoint-dependent texture weights to texture values from different texture maps, which can reduce blurring and avoid the introduction of noticeable seams. As another example, a rendering component can apply special effects indicated by metadata to rendered views, thereby allowing a content provider to assert artistic control over presentation.

A fabrication method of the nitride underlayer includes providing a substrate and forming a band-shaped material layer over the substrate; sputtering an AlN material layer over the band-shaped material layer and the substrate to form a flat film; scanning back and forth from the substrate end with a laser beam to decompose the band-shaped material layer to form a sputtered AlN buffer layer with flat surface and band-shaped holes inside; and forming an AlxIn1-x-yGayN layer (0?x?1, 0?y?1) over the sputtered AlN buffer layer.

Abstract: A fabrication method of a nitride underlayer structure includes, during AlN layer sputtering with PVD, a small amount of non-Al material is doped to form nitride with decomposition temperature lower than that of AlN.

By continuing AlGaN growth via MOCVD over this surface, the stress can be released via 3D-2D mode conversion, thus improving AlN cracks.
