Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A machine learning based image processing and generation framework is disclosed. In some embodiments, depth values of an object or asset in a received input image are at least in part determined using a machine learning based framework that is constrained to a known prescribed environment. Determined depth values facilitate generation of other views of the object or asset.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an image are disclosed. In some embodiments, a received input image is transformed to generate an output image using a machine learning based framework that is trained on a constrained set of images. The generated output image comprises an attribute learned by the machine learning based framework from the set of images.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an ensemble image are disclosed. In some embodiments, images associated with a plurality of independent scenes are translated to a prescribed origin, translated images associated with each independent scene are transformed into a prescribed perspective; and pixels of an image array having the prescribed perspective that is associated with each independent scene is populated with corresponding pixels from the transformed translated images associated with that independent scene. An ensemble image comprising the prescribed perspective is at least in part generated by combining at least some pixels of image arrays associated with the plurality of independent scenes.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Two-dimensional compositing that preserves the curvatures of non-flat surfaces is disclosed. In some embodiments, a mapping is associated with a two-dimensional rendering that maps a potentially variable portion of the two-dimensional rendering to a canvas. The mapping is generated from a three-dimensional model of the potentially variable portion of the two-dimensional rendering. The potentially variable portion of the two-dimensional rendering is dynamically modified according to the mapping to reflect content comprising the canvas or edits received with respect to the canvas.

Abstract: Techniques for rendering a modeled scene are disclosed. In some embodiments, a database comprising locally available generic object definitions is maintained at a destination device at which a scene is desired to be rendered. A scene is rendered by configuring one or more locally available generic object definitions obtained from the database according to a received specification of a modeled scene, wherein rendering is constrained to rendering locally available objects whose definitions are included in the database.
