Actor Diego Luna presents a Technical Achievement Award to Attila T. Áfra for the creation of Intel Open Image Denoise, and to Timo Aila for his pioneering work at NVIDIA applying U-Nets to denoising.

Open Image Denoise is an open-source library that provides an elegant API and runs on diverse hardware, leading to broad industry adoption. Its core technology is provided by the widely adopted U-Net architecture that improves efficiency and preserves detail, raising the quality of CG imagery across the industry.

The Academy's annual Scientific and Technical Awards Presentation was hosted by Diego Luna at the ‪@academymuseum‬ on April 29th, 2025.
