1. A system comprising:
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer memories;
a set of instructions incorporated into the one or more computer memories, the set of instructions configuring the one or more computer processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
accessing noisy lighting data in a data structure associated with a light probe in a set of light probes in an environment;
providing the noisy lighting data as an input to a neural network, the neural network trained to output an estimate of non-noisy lighting data based on the input; and
replacing the noisy lighting data in the data structure with the estimated non-noisy lighting data.
