Samsung patents method to sharpen 3D graphics using motion data
This patent describes a technique for creating sharper 3D images by combining a low-resolution render with data from previous frames. It uses motion tracking to align past images and adjusts pixel positions to fill in details, resulting in a clearer final picture.
In the filing’s own words
A supersampling method includes generating a current rendered image frame by performing jittered sampling on a three-dimensional (3D) scene, based on sub-pixels of low-resolution pixels for the current rendered image frame; generating a current warped image frame by warping a previous output image frame, based on a motion vector map corresponding to a difference between the current rendered image frame and a previous rendered image frame; generating a current shifted image frame by shifting pixels of the current warped image frame, based on a change in sampling positions based on the jittered sampling; and generating a current output image frame, based on the current rendered image frame and the current shifted image frame.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A supersampling method, comprising: generating a current rendered image frame by performing jittered sampling on a three-dimensional (3D) scene, based on sub-pixels of low-resolution pixels for the current rendered image frame; generating a current warped image frame by warping a previous output image frame, based on a motion vector map corresponding to a difference between the current rendered image frame and a previous rendered image frame; generating a current shifted image frame by shifting pixels of the current warped image frame, based on a change in sampling positions based on the jittered sampling; and generating a current output image frame, based on the current rendered image frame and the current shifted image frame; selecting target pixels in the current shifted image frame based on the sampling positions of the jittered sampling; and replacing the target pixels with pixels of the current rendered image frame.
