The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will give Intel Open Image Denoise an award tomorrow for helping make better movies. This free software uses AI to clean up computer-made images created with ray tracing. The Academy saw how much this tool helps filmmakers make their work look better.
Intel leader Anton Kaplanyan said his team worked hard to create something that helps people who make visual content worldwide. Ray tracing makes realistic pictures but requires a lot of computing power. With Intel Open Image Denoise, artists can use fewer rays but still keep high-quality images. The software removes unwanted noise through special AI networks.
Movie studios can easily add this tool to their systems because it works with most computer parts from companies like AMD, NVIDIA, Apple, and ARM. Many popular 3D programs already use it, such as Blender, V-Ray, and Cinema 4D. The Academy started giving tech awards in 1931 to honor science breakthroughs in movies. They will present all science awards at a ceremony on April 29.
