Nvidia patents neural networks to fix pixel brightness before denoising
Nvidia describes a method where a processor uses neural networks to identify and darken specific pixels in an image. This adjustment happens before the image is cleaned up to remove noise, ensuring the final picture has consistent brightness.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to perform neural networks. In at least one embodiment, a processor comprising one or more circuits uses one or more neural networks to adjust brightness of pixels of images prior to denoising the images.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to: identify, using one or more neural networks, one or more pixels of one or more images to darken; remove, using the one or more neural networks, an emission value of the identified one or more pixels of the one or more images to darken the identified one or more pixels prior to denoising the one or more images; and adjust a brightness of the one or more darkened pixels in the denoised one or more images.
