Kernel-Predicting Convolutional Networks for Denoising Monte Carlo Renderings Steve Bako, Thijs Vogels, Brian McWilliams, Mark Meyer, Jan Novak, Alex Harvill, Pradeep Sen, Tony DeRose, Fabrice Rousselle July 2017 Regression-based algorithms have shown to be good at denoising Monte Carlo (MC) renderings by leveraging its inexpensive by-products (e.g., feature buffers). However, when using higher-order models to handle complex cases, these techniques often overfit to noise in the input. For this reason, supervised learning methods have been proposed that ... more Paper (PDF) SIGGRAPH 2017 |
