Patent number: 10755464Abstract: Present application refers to a method, a model generation unit and a computer program (product) for generating trained models (M) of moving persons, based on physically measured person scan data (S). The approach is based on a common template (T) for the respective person and on the measured person scan data (S) in different shapes and different poses. Scan data are measured with a 3D laser scanner. A generic personal model is used for co-registering a set of person scan data (S) aligning the template (T) to the set of person scans (S) while simultaneously training the generic personal model to become a trained person model (M) by constraining the generic person model to be scan-specific, person-specific and pose-specific and providing the trained model (M), based on the co-registering of the measured object scan data (S).Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.Inventors: Michael Black, David L. Hirshberg, Matthew Loper, Eric Rachlin, Alex Weiss

Patent number: 7277204Abstract: A method of building threshold matrices for stochastic screening by using the actual size and shape of imaged pixel and/or pixel agglomerate instead of the nominal one, in the stage of calculating appropriate threshold matrices. For each relevant combination of imager and imaged media, a matrix with desirable blue-noise-like characteristics is created from actual imaged pixels and/or pixel agglomerates, taking into account their overlap when placed in close proximity.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Kodak IL Ltd.Inventors: Alexander Krol, Alex Weiss
