摘要： Techniques for rendering a scene are disclosed. In some embodiments, a local database is populated with received three-dimensional object definitions. A received specification of a scene comprising a specification of objects comprising the scene is rendered according to the received specification using one or more three-dimensional object definitions already available in the local database.

摘要： 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 views of the three-dimensional space from a camera of a device located in the three-dimensional space. A cost function is next minimized with respect to the estimate of the floorplan to generate a corrected floorplan having less error than the estimated floorplan, and a camera pose corresponding to the corrected floorplan is determined. 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.

摘要： Adaptive sampling of pixels is disclosed. In some embodiments, a rendering of a scene is generated by sampling each pixel of the rendering with a prescribed number of samples. Subsequently, those pixels of the rendering that do not satisfy a noise threshold are iteratively sampled with an additional sample during each iteration until all pixels of the rendering satisfy the noise threshold. The noise threshold is associated with noise arising due to under sampling. Pixels comprising the completed rendering are not uniformly sampled.

摘要： Techniques for generating an arbitrary ensemble view from a plurality of other existing views are disclosed. In some embodiments, arbitrary view generation comprises retrieving a set of views corresponding to each of a plurality of objects, transforming the set of views of each of the plurality of objects to a requested perspective, and generating an ensemble view comprising the plurality of objects that has the requested perspective by combining pixels from the transformed sets of views of the plurality of objects.

摘要： Techniques for generating an arbitrary view from a plurality of other existing views are disclosed. In some embodiments, arbitrary view generation includes storing a set of images comprising a plurality of perspectives of an asset in a database and generating an image comprising a desired arbitrary perspective of the asset that is different than any of the plurality of perspectives by combining pixels comprising at least a subset of the set of images.

摘要： Techniques for tagging virtualized content are disclosed. In some embodiments, a modeled three-dimensional scene of objects representing abstracted source content is generated and analyzed to determine a contextual characteristic of the scene that is based on a plurality of objects comprising the scene. The modeled scene is tagged with a tag specifying the determined contextual characteristic.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Techniques for generating a prescribed perspective of a scene are disclosed. In some embodiments, a specification of a scene comprising a plurality of objects is specified using object views that are substantially free of perspective distortions, and a prescribed perspective of the scene is at least in part generated by populating the prescribed perspective of the scene with pixels from existing images of the plurality of objects.
