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： A content generation platform is generally described herein. More specifically, interactive image generation and techniques and features thereof are disclosed herein. One or more sets of images of a scene are captured in an imaging studio. The captured one or more sets of images of the scene are processed using one or more machine learning based networks to generate an interactive image of the scene comprising a plurality of interactive features. One or more of the plurality of interactive features of the generated interactive image may be modified or edited according to user preferences.

摘要： Techniques associated with adaptive sampling are disclosed. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a specification of a scene to render, a sampling of each portion of the scene is determined based at least in part on the specification of the scene such that the scene is not uniformly sampled, and the scene is rendered according to the determined sampling of each portion of the scene.

摘要： Techniques for providing blended physical and virtual reality experiences are disclosed. In some embodiments, a rendering of an actual view of a scene as seen by a camera capturing the scene is obtained from existing assets associated with a virtualized version of the scene and displayed. The actual view of the scene comprises a known environment that includes one or more of a constrained set of objects. The rendering facilitates surfacing information associated with one or more objects comprising the actual view.

摘要： Techniques for generating an arbitrary view of an asset are disclosed. In some embodiments, arbitrary view generation includes storing a set of images associated with an asset in a database and generating an image comprising a requested view of the asset using at least a subset of the set of images associated with the asset that are stored in the database.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Improved techniques for generating video content are disclosed. In some embodiments, a frame is rendered using a first rendering option. It is then determined whether the frame is an independent frame (I-frame) or a predictive frame (P-frame). In the event that the frame is an I-frame, the frame is rendered using a second rendering option that has a higher computational complexity than the first rendering option and encoded independently. In the event that the frame is a P-frame, motion vectors and prediction error with respect to the frame and one or more other frames are determined and encoded.

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.
