Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an arbitrary view of a scene from existing images of the scene are disclosed. In some embodiments, an image of a scene having a desired perspective is at least in part generated by populating some pixels of the image having the desired perspective using pixels obtained from a transformed existing image of the scene that is selected from a stored set of existing images associated with the scene and that is transformed to the desired perspective.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Techniques for machine learning based image attribute determination are disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more unknown attributes of a received image comprising a prescribed environment are determined using a machine learning based framework. The machine learning based framework is at least in part trained on image data sets comprising a model environment that substantially simulates the prescribed environment.

Abstract: Techniques for providing blended physical and virtual reality experiences are disclosed. In some embodiments, a pose of a camera of a device located in a venue is determined based at least in part on three-dimensional asset recognition in a field of view of the camera, wherein the field of view of the camera comprises an actual physical view of the venue; a virtual view corresponding to the actual view is obtained from existing assets comprising a specification of a virtualized version of the venue; and display of the virtual view is facilitated at the venue. Thus, a virtual reality of a physical space is provided while at the physical space based on actual three-dimensional objects detected or recognized in the physical space.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an arbitrary view or perspective of an ensemble scene are disclosed. In some embodiments, in response to a received request for a prescribed perspective of an ensemble scene comprising a plurality of assets, an output image of the ensemble scene for the requested prescribed perspective is generated based at least in part on combining at least a portion of an existing image of each of at least a subset of the plurality of assets.

Abstract: 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 received views of the three-dimensional space from a camera located in the three-dimensional space. A camera pose of the camera in the three-dimensional space is next determined based on generating a corrected floorplan from the estimate of the floorplan based on foreknowledge associated with the floorplan. 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.

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: 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: 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.
