Intel released Open Image Denoise 2.0.1
Intel has released Open Image Denoise 2.0.1, the latest version of their open-source image denoising library for ray-traced images. This update focuses on improving performance for integrated Intel graphics processors and addressing various issues.
Intel Open Image Denoise is an open source library of high-performance, high-quality denoising filters for images rendered with ray tracing. Intel Open Image Denoise is part of the Intel® oneAPI Rendering Toolkit and is released under the permissive Apache 2.0 license. The purpose of Intel 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). A simple but flexible C/C++ API ensures that the library can be easily integrated into most existing or new rendering solutions.
Version History
Changes in v2.0.1:
- Fixed performance issue for Intel integrated GPUs using recent Linux drivers
- Fixed crash on systems with both dedicated and integrated AMD GPUs
- Fixed importing D3D12_RESOURCE, D3D11_RESOURCE, D3D11_RESOURCE_KMT, D3D11_TEXTURE and D3D11_TEXTURE_KMT external memory types on CUDA and HIP devices
- Fixed the macOS deployment target of the official x86 binaries (lowered from 11.0 to 10.11)
