    Abstract: 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.

    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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Techniques for generating three-dimensional content from the recordings of multiple independently operated cameras that are not constrained to fixed positions and orientations are disclosed. In some embodiments, data from a plurality of cameras configured to record a scene is received; a relative pose of each camera with respect to a common set of identified points in the scene is determined; relative poses of the cameras with respect to each other based on their relative poses with respect to the common set of identified points are determined; and the camera recordings and determined relative poses are processed to generate a three-dimensional reconstruction of at least a portion of the scene in the cameras' common field of view.

    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 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 of a scene are disclosed. In some embodiments, for each image of a set of images associated with a scene, image pixels are divided into a plurality of pixel blocks, the pixel blocks are transformed into an arbitrary perspective, and pixels of an image array comprising the arbitrary perspective are populated with corresponding pixels from the transformed pixel blocks. An output image of the scene comprising the arbitrary perspective is then generated based at least in part on the populated image array.
