It's not really a secret that almost the entirety of Nvidia's cutting-edge research and advancement is going into ray-followed rendering and its likely applications for contemporary and future PC produced graphics. With rumors in abundance about the organization's up and coming age of RT-focused graphics cards, it's almost a given that RTX 4000 GPUs will possibly offer the most remarkable ray-tracing equipment available.
As a matter of fact, a new patent listing submitted by Nvidia suggests that the organization is looking at non-standard applications of ray-followed rendering, too. The filing references a potential auto-exposure application that could result in a more normal and exact picture using virtual light meters.
The patent filing references a new approach to handling auto-exposure and light levels concerning setting sensitive substance. By using committed ray-tracing cores to execute virtual light meters, Nvidia could sample incidental lighting conditions and adjust the exposure levels to a suitable level, so that the given scene remains visually appealing regardless of whether it's excessively splendid or dull of course. While this might sound like a waste of RT-ready equipment that could otherwise go towards further developed reflections and such, rumors in all actuality do suggest that RTX 4000 could have 70% more CUDA cores than top-end RTX 3000 GPUs, making ray-followed auto-exposure a possibly trifling rendering method as to execution.

The specific examples gave as a feature of Nvidia's ray-followed auto-exposure patent include wide-sweeping camera shots that might include very splendid backgrounds or items, which may possibly lead to picture detail loss because of the equipment's inability to deliver the scene appropriately. Using RT equipment for exposure modifications on the fly should, in any case, resolve this issue and massively further develop the final picture quality. This specific use-case might be just one of the upcoming ray-tracing inventions as Nvidia spends billions to secure RTX 4000 components, and is presumably hoping to captivate new buyers with exciting visual improvements.
While there's practically no information accessible about the up and coming age of Nvidia's ray-tracing equipment, it seems likely that the RTX 4000 series might be launching in September, regardless of current GPU shortages. Of course, the submission of a patent that references ray-followed auto-exposure doesn't mean that the method will be executed at any point in the near future, or that it would be restricted to the latest age of RTX graphics cards.
It's also worth pointing out that Nvidia was as of late hacked by a gathering known as "Lapsus$," the members of which started leaking Nvidia's secret information shortly thereafter. There's no telling if auto-exposure patents were included in leaked information, yet it also wouldn't be especially surprising if Nvidia somehow happened to submit more RT-specific patents in the near future, regardless of whether there are no prompt plans to utilize them. Ray-followed auto-exposure, then, may still be in its earliest stages of creation now.
