Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for rendering a surface in a synthetic scene using gutter space padding for texture atlases. Gutter space adjacent to UV shells may be padded with texels from the UV shells used for neighboring surfaces, rather than merely extending the interior texels. The result is that distracting artifacts, caused by mesh downsampling that produces sub-optimal polygon shapes and vertex placement may be mitigated. The resulting rendering, manifesting lessened artifacts, may appear to be less impacted by downsampling, and thus improve the experience for the viewer or other synthetics data consumer. The improvement may be used in rendering for human users and also training neural networks in computer vision tasks, such as object detection and recognition.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 8  further comprising:\n after padding the first portion of gutter space with texels from the second UV shell, determining whether a projection of a third polygon of the mesh onto the texture atlas, that includes a portion of the first UV shell, also includes a third portion of gutter space; \n based at least on determining that the projection of the third polygon includes the third portion of gutter space, determining whether the projection of a fourth polygon of the mesh onto the texture atlas, the fourth polygon being adjacent in the mesh to the third polygon, includes a portion of a third UV shell of the texture atlas; and \n based at least on determining that the projection of the third polygon includes the third UV shell, padding the third portion of gutter space with texels from the third UV shell.
