Abstract: Improved techniques for generating video content are disclosed. In some embodiments, a frame is first 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. In the event that the frame is a P-frame, the frame as rendered by the first rendering option and a previous frame as rendered by the first rendering option are used to determine prediction error. The first rendering option comprises a lower computational complexity than the second rendering option.

Abstract: Techniques for virtualizing content are disclosed. One or more objects comprising source video content are determined. The one or more objects comprising the source video content are virtualized by mapping each to and representing each with a corresponding database object. Data comprising the corresponding database objects is provided for rendering the source video content instead of any original pixel information of the source video content so that a virtualized version of the source video content is rendered.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an arbitrary perspective of a composite object are disclosed. In some embodiments, a specification of an orthographic view of a composite object comprises combined orthographic views of a plurality of objects, and an arbitrary perspective of the composite object is at least in part generated by populating the arbitrary perspective of the composite object with pixels harvested from existing images of the plurality of objects.

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: Techniques for generating an arbitrary ensemble view from existing views of a plurality of scenes are disclosed. In some embodiments, for each of a plurality of scenes, each of a corresponding set of one or more views is normalized to a desired perspective if its existing perspective is different than the desired perspective. An ensemble view comprising the plurality of scenes that has the desired perspective is generated at least in part using pixels from views of the scenes having the desired perspective including the normalized views.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an arbitrary view from a plurality of other existing views are disclosed. In some embodiments, arbitrary view generation includes retrieving a first image having a first perspective and a second image having a second perspective, transforming each of the first image and the second image into a third perspective; and generating a third image having the third perspective by combining at least some of the pixels from the transformed first image and at least some of the pixels from the transformed second image.

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 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.
