Abstract: In one aspect, a computerized method for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) digital image for automated facial morphing includes the step scanning of the user's face with a digital camera to obtain a set of digital images of the user's face. The method includes the step of determining that a user's face is in a compliant state. The method includes the step of implementing an analysis of the set of digital images and implementing a set of pre-rendering steps. Each digital image comprises a depth data, a red/green/blue (RGB) data, and a facemask data. The method then implements an iterative closest path (ICP) algorithm that correlates the set of digital images together by stitching together the cloud of points of the facemask data of each digital image and outputs a set of transformation matrices. The method includes the step of implementing a truncated signed distance function (TSDF) algorithm on the set of transformation matrices.

Abstract: A sensor simulation system may generate sensor data for use in simulations by rendering two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional simulated environment. In various examples, the sensor simulation system uses sensor dependency data to determine specific views to be re-rendered at different times during the simulation. The sensor simulation system also may generate unified views with multi-sensor data at each region (e.g., pixel) of the two-dimensional view for consumption by different sensor types. A hybrid technique may be used in some implementations in which rasterization is used to generate a view, after which ray tracing is used to align the view with a particular sensor. Spatial and temporal upsampling techniques also may be used, including depth-aware and velocity-aware analyses for simulated objects, to improve view resolution and reduce the frequency of re-rendering views.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an electrogram (EGM) processing system provides, for display by a head-mounted display (HMD) worn by a user, a holographic rendering of intracardiac geometry. The HMD also displays an electrogram waveform. The EGM processing system determines a gaze direction of the user by processing sensor data from the HMD. The HMD displays a marker overlaid on the electrogram waveform at a location based on an intersection point between the gaze direction and the electrogram waveform. The EGM processing system determines a measurement of the electrogram waveform using the location of the marker. The HMD displays the measurement of the electrogram waveform.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rendering system that dynamically changes the resolution at which image data in a field-of-view (“FOV”) is rendered based on the proximity or depth of the image data relative to the render position or camera position. The rendering system selects the image data that is within the FOV, and generates a depth map with a set of distance measures for different distances or depths of the image data in the FOV. The rendering system selects a dynamic resolution at which to render the FOV based on the set of distance measures from the depth map, and renders the image data and/or FOV at the dynamic resolution.
