Monte Carlo rendering algorithms are widely used to produce photorealistic computer graphics images. However, these algorithms need to sample a substantial amount of rays per pixel to enable proper global illumination and thus require an immense amount of computation. In this paper, we present a hybrid rendering method to speed up Monte Carlo rendering algorithms. Our method first generates t

Monte Carlo path tracer renders noisy image sequences at low sampling counts. Although great progress has been made on denoising such sequences, existing methods still suffer from spatial and temporary artifacts. In this paper, we tackle the problems
in Monte Carlo rendering by proposing a two-stage denoiser based on the adaptive sampling strategy. In the first stage, concurrent to adjusting samples per pixel (spp) on-the-fly, we reuse the computations to generate extra denoising kernels applying on the adaptively rendered image. Rather than a direct prediction of pixel-wise kernels, we save the overhead complexity by interpolating such kernels from a public kernel pool, which can be dynamically updated to fit input signals. In the second stage, we design the position-aware pooling and semantic alignment operators to improve spatial-temporal stability. Our method was first benchmarked on 10 synthesized scenes rendered from the Mitsuba renderer and then validated on 3 additional scenes rendered from our self-built RTX-based renderer. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art counterparts in terms of both numerical error and visual quality.
The classic Monte Carlo path tracing can achieve high quality rendering at the cost of heavy computation. Recent works make use of deep neural networks to accelerate this process, by improving either low-resolution or fewer-sample rendering with supe
r-resolution or denoising neural networks in post-processing. However, denoising and super-resolution have only been considered separately in previous work. We show in this work that Monte Carlo path tracing can be further accelerated by joint super-resolution and denoising (SRD) in post-processing. This new type of joint filtering allows only a low-resolution and fewer-sample (thus noisy) image to be rendered by path tracing, which is then fed into a deep neural network to produce a high-resolution and clean image. The main contribution of this work is a new end-to-end network architecture, specifically designed for the SRD task. It contains two cascaded stages with shared components. We discover that denoising and super-resolution require very different receptive fields, a key insight that leads to the introduction of deformable convolution into the network design. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method outperforms previous methods and their variants adopted for the SRD task.
Numerical integration is a foundational technique in scientific computing and is at the core of many computer vision applications. Among these applications, neural volume rendering has recently been proposed as a new paradigm for view synthesis, achi
eving photorealistic image quality. However, a fundamental obstacle to making these methods practical is the extreme computational and memory requirements caused by the required volume integrations along the rendered rays during training and inference. Millions of rays, each requiring hundreds of forward passes through a neural network are needed to approximate those integrations with Monte Carlo sampling. Here, we propose automatic integration, a new framework for learning efficient, closed-form solutions to integrals using coordinate-based neural networks. For training, we instantiate the computational graph corresponding to the derivative of the network. The graph is fitted to the signal to integrate. After optimization, we reassemble the graph to obtain a network that represents the antiderivative. By the fundamental theorem of calculus, this enables the calculation of any definite integral in two evaluations of the network. Applying this approach to neural rendering, we improve a tradeoff between rendering speed and image quality: improving render times by greater than 10 times with a tradeoff of slightly reduced image quality.
While deep learning has reshaped the classical motion capture pipeline, generative, analysis-by-synthesis elements are still in use to recover fine details if a high-quality 3D model of the user is available. Unfortunately, obtaining such a model for
every user a priori is challenging, time-consuming, and limits the application scenarios. We propose a novel test-time optimization approach for monocular motion capture that learns a volumetric body model of the user in a self-supervised manner. To this end, our approach combines the advantages of neural radiance fields with an articulated skeleton representation. Our proposed skeleton embedding serves as a common reference that links constraints across time, thereby reducing the number of required camera views from traditionally dozens of calibrated cameras, down to a single uncalibrated one. As a starting point, we employ the output of an off-the-shelf model that predicts the 3D skeleton pose. The volumetric body shape and appearance is then learned from scratch, while jointly refining the initial pose estimate. Our approach is self-supervised and does not require any additional ground truth labels for appearance, pose, or 3D shape. We demonstrate that our novel combination of a discriminative pose estimation technique with surface-free analysis-by-synthesis outperforms purely discriminative monocular pose estimation approaches and generalizes well to multiple views.
Realistic image synthesis involves computing high-dimensional light transport integrals which in practice are numerically estimated using Monte Carlo integration. The error of this estimation manifests itself in the image as visually displeasing alia
sing or noise. To ameliorate this, we develop a theoretical framework for optimizing screen-space error distribution. Our model is flexible and works for arbitrary target error power spectra. We focus on perceptual error optimization by leveraging models of the human visual systems (HVS) point spread function (PSF) from halftoning literature. This results in a specific optimization problem whose solution distributes the error as visually pleasing blue noise in image space. We develop a set of algorithms that provide a trade-off between quality and speed, showing substantial improvements over prior state of the art. We perform evaluations using both quantitative and perceptual error metrics to support our analysis, and provide extensive supplemental material to help evaluate the perceptual improvements achieved by our methods.
