Enhancing Photorealism Enhancement

A video presenting an Intel research paper on enhancing the photorealism of synthetic images. A convolutional network uses rendering intermediates, shown on GTA V footage that comes out looking like real street scenes.

Why HN readers recommended it

Used as a go-to example of neural networks enhancing game rendering, referenced in later AI-graphics discussions.

    In Neural Rendering: How Low Can You Go in Terms of Input?
  • DLSS & ideas like it outside an idea are really interesting: [LINK] Ex. run the base game at an insanely crummy/low resolution. On low(er) it’s possible to run a model to kinda “upscale” in each frame in a performant way. Or even this CNN initiative …
