The method can include obtaining a latent code descriptive of a shape of an object comprising one or more object segments. The method can include determining spatial query points. The method can include processing the latent code and spatial query points with segment representation portions of a machine-learned implicit object representation model to obtain implicit segment representations for the object segments. The method can include determining an implicit object representation of the object and semantic data. The method can include evaluating a loss function.

Patent number: 11945434Abstract: In one embodiment, a process is performed during controlling Autonomous Driving Vehicle (ADV). A confidence level associated with a sensed obstacle is determined. If the confidence level is below a confidence threshold, and a distance between the ADV and a potential point of contact with the sensed obstacle is below a distance threshold, then performance of a driving decision is delayed. Otherwise, the driving decision is performed to reduce risk of contact with the sensed obstacle.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: BAIDU USA LLCInventors: Jiaming Tao, Jiaxuan Xu, Jiacheng Pan, Jinyun Zhou, Hongyi Sun, Yifei Jiang, Jiangtao Hu

Publication number: 20240096041Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that include a processor executing an avatar generation program to obtain driving view(s), calculate a skeletal pose of the user, and generate a coarse human mesh based on a template mesh and the skeletal pose of the user. The program further constructs a texture map based on the driving view(s) and the coarse human mesh, extracts a plurality of image features from the texture map, the image features being aligned to a UV map, and constructs a UV positional map based on the coarse human mesh. The program further extracts a plurality of pose features from the UV positional map, the pose features being aligned to the UV map, generates a plurality of pose-image features based on the UV map-aligned image features and UV map-aligned pose features, and renders an avatar based on the plurality of pose-image features.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Hongyi Xu, Tao Hu, Linjie Luo

Publication number: 20230169727Abstract: The present disclosure provides a statistical, articulated 3D human shape modeling pipeline within a fully trainable, modular, deep learning framework. In particular, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a machine-learned 3D human shape model with at least facial and body shape components that are jointly trained end-to-end on a set of training data. Joint training of the model components (e.g., including both facial, hands, and rest of body components) enables improved consistency of synthesis between the generated face and body shapes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2020Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Cristian Sminchisescu, Hongyi Xu, Eduard Gabriel Bazavan, Andrei Zanfir, William T.

Patent number: 11478931Abstract: A robot control method, and associated robot controllers and robots operating with such methods and controllers, providing computational vibration suppression. Given a desired animation cycle for a robotic system or robot, the control method uses a dynamic simulation of the physical robot, which takes into account the flexible components of the robot, to predict if vibrations will be seen in the physical robot. If vibrations are predicted with the input animation cycle, the control method optimizes the set of motor trajectories to return a set of trajectories that are as close as possible to the artistic or original intent of the provider of the animation cycle, while minimizing unwanted vibration. The new control method or design tool suppresses unwanted vibrations and allows a robot designer to use lighter and/or softer (less stiff) and, therefore, less expensive systems in new robots.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Moritz Niklaus Bâcher, Shayan Hoshyari, Hongyi Xu, Stelian Coros, Lars Espen Knoop

Publication number: 20220297381Abstract: A part formed by an additive manufacturing process consist of regions of voids, regions of solid material, and regions of non-uniform lattice cells, where each lattice cell includes bars. The regions are spatially distributed throughout the part as a function of load conditions such that the solid material is distributed in regions of first load paths and the non-uniform lattice cells are distributed in regions of second load paths lower in magnitude than the first load paths. Diameters of each bar of a non-uniform lattice cell are sized as a function of at least one of a resolution unit of the additive manufacturing process and part performance requirements. The diameters of the bars of the non-uniform lattice cells are classified into clusters with an average diameter size being assigned to all non-uniform lattice cells in the same cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2022Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Hongyi Xu, Siddharthan Selvasekar, Ching-Hung Chuang, Ellen Lee

Patent number: 11351732Abstract: A part formed by an additive manufacturing process is provided, which consists of three (3) regions: regions of voids with no material; regions of solid material; and regions of non-uniform lattice cells. The regions are spatially distributed throughout the part as a function of load conditions such that the solid material is distributed in regions of first load paths and the lattice cells are distributed in regions of second load paths lower in magnitude than the first load paths. The lattice cells are tailored to the additive manufacturing process constraints and machine resolution.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2017Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Hongyi Xu, Siddharthan Selvasekar, Ching-Hung Chuang, Ellen Lee

Patent number: 11029664Abstract: Methods and corresponding systems that are useful in design and fabrication of kinetic wire mechanisms or characters. The method includes a computational technique for the design of kinetic wire mechanisms tailored for fabrication on consumer-grade hardware such as a desktop CNC bending device. The method takes as input a skeletal animation of the mechanism to be fabricated and estimates, from the skeletal animation, a cable-driven and compliant wire structure, which matches user-selected keyframes. To enable localized deformations, the technique involves shaping the mechanism's body (i.e., the wire) into functional spring-like entities at a set of locations along the length of the mechanism's body.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Moritz Bächer, Stelian Coros, Lars Espen Knoop, Hongyi Xu
