    Abstract: A shadow rendering method for an image includes: re-projecting 3D coordinates of image pixels from an image space of the image to points on a 2D shadowmap space; estimating at least one of a horizontal and vertical distribution of the points in the shadow map space; for a flexible scale rasteriser ‘FSR’, updating a horizontal or vertical FSR curve corresponding to a distribution of FSR bins for the shadow map so that the corresponding horizontal or vertical distribution of points per bin is most even; and rendering the shadow map using flexible scale rasterization.

    Abstract: An image rendering method for rendering a pixel at a viewpoint includes: for a first element of a virtual scene, having a predetermined surface at a position within that scene, evaluating whether to render a pixel corresponding to the first element using at least a first machine learning system having been trained to generate an illuminance output representative of the lighting of the predetermined surface at the position, or using an alternative rendering approach, and rendering the pixel according to which of the at least first machine learning system and the alternative rendering approach are chosen in the evaluating step; where the evaluating step comprises obtaining a confidence value from the at least first machine learning system indicative of the accuracy of the illuminance output, the machine learning system having been trained to generate the confidence value in conjunction with the illuminance output, and the rendering step comprises using the alternative rendering approach if the confidence value does not satisfy a predetermined threshold value.
