  • PLANAR REGION GUIDED 3D GEOMETRY ESTIMATION FROM A SINGLE IMAGE
    Publication number: 20180286061
    Abstract: Techniques for planar region-guided estimates of 3D geometry of objects depicted in a single 2D image. The techniques estimate regions of an image that are part of planar regions (i.e., flat surfaces) and use those planar region estimates to estimate the 3D geometry of the objects in the image. The planar regions and resulting 3D geometry are estimated using only a single 2D image of the objects. Training data from images of other objects is used to train a CNN with a model that is then used to make planar region estimates using a single 2D image. The planar region estimates, in one example, are based on estimates of planarity (surface plane information) and estimates of edges (depth discontinuities and edges between surface planes) that are estimated using models trained using images of other scenes.

  • LASER-INITIATED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF POLYIMIDE PRECURSOR
    Publication number: 20180215871
    Abstract: A system comprises a build area, a precursor feed system to feed polyimide precursor to the build area, and a laser system comprising a laser device to emit a focused energy beam onto the build area, and a laser actuator to aim the focused energy onto selected target locations of the build area in order to selectively initiate polymerization of at least a portion of the polyimide precursor into a structure including polyimide. A method comprises feeding a polyimide precursor to a build area and selectively directing a focused energy beam to the build area to selectively initiate polymerization of at least a portion of the polyimide precursor into a structure including polyimide.

  • MATERIAL EXTRUSION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF POLYIMIDE PRECURSOR
    Publication number: 20180147773
    Abstract: A system comprises an extrusion head to selectively extrude a bead of a precursor solution onto a target road on a substrate within a build area, the precursor solution comprising a polyimide precursor compound in a solvent, an actuator coupled to the extrusion head to move the extrusion head, a control system coupled to the actuator to control the extrusion head along the target road and selectively dispense the precursor solution to the extrusion head, and an environmental system configured to accommodate the target road during fabrication, the environmental system configured to expose the dispensed precursor solution to a temperature selected to evaporate solvent from the solution to initiate polymerization of the polyimide precursor compound to form at least a portion of a polyimide part.

  • Utilizing deep learning for automatic digital image segmentation and stylization
    Patent number: 9978003
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for segregating target individuals represented in a probe digital image from background pixels in the probe digital image. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods train a neural network based on two or more of training position channels, training shape input channels, training color channels, or training object data. Moreover, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods utilize the trained neural network to select a target individual in a probe digital image. Specifically, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods generate position channels, training shape input channels, and color channels corresponding the probe digital image, and utilize the generated channels in conjunction with the trained neural network to select the target individual.

  • Instance-Level Semantic Segmentation System
    Publication number: 20180108137
    Abstract: Certain aspects involve semantic segmentation of objects in a digital visual medium by determining a score for each pixel of the digital visual medium that is representative of a likelihood that each pixel corresponds to the objects associated with bounding boxes within the digital visual medium. An instance-level label that yields a label for each of the pixels of the digital visual medium corresponding to the objects is determined based, in part, on a collective probability map including the score for each pixel of the digital visual medium. In some aspects, the score for each pixel corresponding to each bounding box is determined by a prediction model trained by a neural network.
