Abstract
In particular embodiments, the disclosure provides a method comprising: rendering, on a graphics processing unit (GPU), a low-resolution image associated with a scene, the low-resolution image having a resolution that is lower than a target resolution; transmitting a version of the low-resolution image to a neural accelerator; processing, on the neural accelerator, the version of the low-resolution image using a trained machine-learning model, thereby outputting a plurality of control parameters; transmitting the control parameters from the neural accelerator to the GPU; processing, on the GPU, the low-resolution image and the control parameters to construct a high-resolution image having the target resolution, wherein the GPU is programmed to determine a plurality of pixel weights for performing an interpolation using the control parameters; and outputting the high-resolution image.
