Nvidia patents method for blending video pixels using neural networks
Nvidia describes a technique for improving video quality by combining pixels from different frames. It uses neural networks to create specific filters that determine how much each pixel contributes to the final image.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to reconstruct one or more images. In at least one embodiment, one or more anisotropic filters are used to determine one or more pixel blending weights.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors, comprising circuitry to: cause one or more neural networks to generate one or more anisotropic filters based, at least in part, on one or more video frames and one or more upsampled video frames; use the one or more neural networks to generate one or more pixel blending weights based, at least in part, on the one or more anisotropic filters; and blend two or more pixels of the one or more video frames and the one or more upsampled video frames using the one or more pixel blending weights.
