USING PREVIOUSLY RENDERED SCENE FRAMES TO REDUCE PIXEL NOISE

Abstract:

This disclosure presents a method and computer program product to denoise a ray traced scene. An apparatus for processing a ray traced scene is also disclosed. In one example, the method includes: (1) generating filtered scene data by filtering modified scene data from original scene data utilizing a spatial filter, and (2) providing a denoised ray traced scene by adjusting the filtered scene data utilizing a temporal filter. The modified and adjusted scene data can be sent to a rendering processor or system to complete rendering to generate a final scene.
