AI Learns Noise Filtering For Photorealistic Videos | Two Minute Papers #215

It's only briefly mentioned, but NVIDIA's recurrent denoising autoencoder is pretty amazing. link Two Minute Papers did a nice explanation of it: ▶ this video

Deep learning denoiser. I don't know if NVIDIA came up with some marketing term for it. It's what allows RTX to produce meaningful images at all despite the renderer running at 0.5-2 samples per pixel which looks little better than random noise. I kind of assumed they'd call it DLDN because they called their deep learning supersampling DLSS. I guess not, go figure. ▶ this video

I don't think your estimations take into account the massive gains from AI denoising techniques such as ▶ this video
