Nvidia patents method to generate images from camera motion data

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Nvidia describes a system that uses neural networks to create images of objects based on how a camera moves. The technology trains these networks using pairs of images that have been modified to simulate different camera angles and movements.

Why it mattersThis could improve how video games or virtual environments render scenes by predicting what an object looks like from new angles without needing to manually model every view.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to generate image data. In at least one embodiment, one or more images are generated of one or more objects using one or more neural networks trained based, at least in part, upon one or more camera motions with respect to the one or more objects.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A processor, comprising: one or more circuits to generate one or more images of one or more objects using one or more neural networks trained based, at least in part, upon training data including pairs of source images and target images, depicting the one or more objects, augmented to represent one or more camera motions with respect to the one or more objects, wherein a same set of one or more augmentations are applied to a first subset of the pairs of source images and target images, and for a second subset of the pairs of source images and target images, the source images are augmented differently than the target images.
