Intel has introduced the latest version 2.3.0 of its Open Image Denoise open-source library of high-performance, high-quality denoising filters for images rendered with ray tracing. The updated library improves quality and adds support for Intel's next-generation Arc Battlemage graphics processing architecture as well as upcoming processors codenamed Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake.
The core of the Intel Open Image Denoise library consists of efficient deep learning-based denoising filters, designed to manage a wide range of samples per pixel (spp), from 1 spp to nearly fully converged. The library operates on a wide range of machines, from laptops to workstations and compute nodes in HPC systems, but it needs to support the hardware it operates on, which is why Intel is now adding support for its upcoming products.
