Oidn fails on very light shadows #33

Closed Dade916 closed 5 years ago

Dade916 commented 5 years ago

We have received some report of Oidn failing to denoise image area with very light shadow. It is like if there is a threshold under which noise is not removed.

This is an example of the problem, the normal rendering:

normal

and the is the Oidn output:

denoised

The very end of the monkey shadow is not denoised, there is a quite sharp cutoff.

This is a .zip with the .png/.exr rendering images, albedo and normal AOVs to replicate the problem:

From the above forum thread, another example of the problem in a real world scene can be seen here: https://forums.luxcorerender.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1122&start=10#p13302
