Intel Open Image Denoise High-Performance Denoising Library for Ray Tracing – pipeline
The purpose of Open Image Denoise is to provide an open, high-quality, efficient, and easy-to-use denoising library that allows one to significantly reduce rendering times in ray tracing based rendering applications. It filters out the Monte Carlo noise inherent to stochastic ray tracing methods like path tracing, reducing the amount of necessary samples per pixel by even multiple orders of magnitude (depending on the desired closeness to the ground truth).

Equirectangular 360 videos/photos to Unity3D to VR
SUMMARY
- A lot of 360 technology is natively supported in Unity3D. Examples here: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/vr-samples-51519
- Use the Google Cardboard VR API to export for Android or iOS. https://developers.google.com/vr/?hl=en https://developers.google.com/vr/develop/unity/get-started-ios
- Images and videos are for the most equirectangular 2:1 360 captures, mapped onto a skybox (stills) or an inverted sphere (videos). Panoramas are also supported.
- Stereo is achieved in different formats, but mostly with a 2:1 over-under layout.
- Videos can be streamed from a server.
- You can export 360 mono/stereo stills/videos from Unity3D with VR Panorama.
- 4K is probably the best average resolution size for mobiles.
- Interaction can be driven through the Google API gaze scripts/plugins or through Google Cloud Speech Recognition (paid service, https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/add-ons/machinelearning/google-cloud-speech-recognition-vr-ar-desktop-desktop-72625 )
DETAILS
- Google VR game to iOS in 15 minutes
- Step by Step Google VR and responding to events with Unity3D 2017.x

- Basics details about equirectangular 2:1 360 images and videos.
- Skybox cubemap texturing, shading and camera component for stills.
- Video player component on a sphere’s with a flipped normals shader.
- Note that you can also use a pre-modeled sphere with inverted normals.
- Note that for audio you will need an audio component on the sphere model.
- Setup a Full 360 stereoscopic video playback using an over-under layout split onto two cameras.
- Note you cannot generate a stereoscopic image from two 360 captures, it has to be done through a dedicated consumer rig.
