  • Systems and methods for rendering a virtual environment using light probes
    Patent number: 12260527
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for rendering light probes in a virtual environment are disclosed. Noisy lighting data is accessed in a data structure associated with a light probe in a set of light probes in an environment. The noisy lighting data is provided as an input to a neural network. The neural network is trained to output an estimate of non-noisy lighting data based on the input. The noisy lighting data is replaced in the data structure with the estimated non-noisy lighting data.
    Type: Grant
