The Future of Realistic Imagery: Academy Honors Intel’s Open Image Denoise for Its Breakthrough in Ray Tracing Technology for Filmmakers
WORDS & PUBLISHED BY: Alex A | Traffic Network PH
Intel’s open-source Open Image Denoise will receive an Academy Technical Achievement Award for its AI-powered solution that significantly accelerates and enhances the quality of ray-traced images in filmmaking. This library, part of Intel’s Rendering Toolkit, uses neural networks to filter noise, reducing rendering times without sacrificing visual fidelity. Its easy integration and cross-vendor support across major CPUs and GPUs have led to widespread adoption in tools like Blender and V-Ray, marking a key advancement in modern film production.
“Intel continues to push the envelope on high-quality rendering and visual experiences, delivering benefits to creators around the world, and this achievement is a timely recognition for the passion and persistence of the team. We are committed to bringing the best visual computing breakthroughs for creators, developers and gamers with our products and software ecosystem, and this top award is a manifest of that coming to life.”
– Anton Kaplanyan, Intel vice president, Graphics and GPU Research
The Scientific and Technical Awards, established in 1931, acknowledge the vital role of science and technology in advancing filmmaking. The Academy celebrates these contributions annually at a dedicated Scientific and Technical Awards ceremony, held this year on April 29th.
