Patent GB-2605155-A (GB)
Title: Image rendering method and apparatus
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES BIGOS
IPC: G06T15/06
Filed: 2021-03-24
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention seek to replace the ray tracing step usually associated with image rendering with something else that has a more predictable computational load for a suitable quality of final image. An example embodiment consists of a machine learning system for each contributing component of the image (e.g. diffuse, specular, and optionally coat or any other contributing component). The machine learning system is typically a neural network that is trained to learn a transform between the bi-directional scattering distribution function BSDF (e.g. 200-BSDF-D) and the ray-traced ground truth (e.g. 200-D) of the contributing component of the image, for a plurality of images at different viewpoints in the scene. Put another way, if the ray traced image (or one of the contributing components) is a combination of how lighting plays over an object and the BSDF describing how that object reacts to light, then by taking the ray traced image and uncombining it with the BSDF, the result is a quality that may be referred to as 'radiance' or 'shade', but more generally describes how the light plays over the object (as computed in aggregate by the ray tracing process). If the machine learning system or neural network can learn to predict this quality, then it can be combined again with the BSDF to produce a predicted image approximating the ray-traced image. The network may thus be referred to as a neural precomputed light model or NPLM network. More specifically, for a given position on a hypothetical image of an object, and a direction of view, the machine learning system or neural network must learn to output a value that, when combined with the BSDF for that same position/pixel, results in a pixel value similar to that which would arise from raytracing the image at that pixel. Consequently, during training, it generates an internal representation of the lighting conditions (e.g. due to point lights or a skvdome} and surface lighting properties implied from the training images. To reduce the training load which may involve a large number of potential high quality ray-traced renders to generate as training images it is desirable to filter or cull these candidate viewpoint positions in some manner that is relevant and useful to the training of the NPLM on the scene. It is beneficial to have more training examples for parts of the scene that comprise view dependent materials (e.g. specular or shiny) than view independent materials (e.g. diffuse or matt). The described invention therefor includes means for generating a training set for a NPLM by generating a plurality of candidate viewpoints of a scene and culling candidate viewpoints according to a probability that depends upon a response of the surface of the scene to light at a surface position in the scene corresponding to the viewpoint then generating training images at the remaining viewpoints.
