An image generator engine for generating distorted images from an input image is disclosed which includes a random seed generator adapted to generate random seeds, a model adapted to receive the random seeds and generate a first plurality of sets of Zernike coefficients (FPSZC), a pixel shifter adapted to shift pixels of the input image, a phase to space (P2S) transformer adapted to in parallel receive the FPSZC and generate a predetermined number of P2S coefficients, a learned basis function generator adapted to generate learned basis function matrices, a convolver adapted to convolve each pixel of the tilted image by the learned basis functions thereby generating a plurality of convolved pixels, and a blurrer adapted to receive the plurality of the convolved pixels and multiply by the corresponding P2S coefficients and apply a summation to generate the distorted image.

Chrominance data channels are reconstructed from a color-mosaic image data input and de-noised with guidance from a luminance data channel extracted from that same mosaic data input to produce de-noised chrominance channels. The de-noised chrominance channels are combined with a de-noised version of the luminance channel to yield a primary-color-channel output image.

A system for calculating a consensus foreground object, relative to a background within a series of video frames is disclosed. The system relies upon a multi-prong approach that takes a consensus selection for the foreground object reliant upon at least three different models, then outputs the foreground object for application of alpha matting for use in augmented realty or virtual reality filmmaking.
