  • Publication number: 20230377230
    Abstract: A highly expressive image is output based on an input image. A style transfer program causes a processor to implement a distance estimation function of estimating a distance to a target included in an image, a region defining function of demarcating one or more regions from the image based on the estimated distance, and a style transfer function of performing a style transfer to the regions in the image.

  • Patent number: 11270514
    Abstract: A computer system for creating architectural schematics within a mixed-reality environment generates, within an architectural design application, mixed-reality rendering data that visually describes one or more virtual architectural elements in relation to a real-world environment. The computer system transmits, to a mixed-reality device, the mixed-reality rendering data, wherein the mixed-reality device renders the mixed-reality rendering data within the real-world environment. The computer system also receives a command from a user directed towards a particular virtual architectural element. Additionally, the computer system constrains a scope of the command based upon an interaction between the virtual architectural element and the real-world environment.

  • Patent number: 10467814
    Abstract: A computer system for managing multiple distinct perspectives within a mixed-reality design environment loads a three-dimensional architectural model into memory. The three-dimensional architectural model is associated with a virtual coordinate system. The three-dimensional architectural model comprises at least one virtual object that is associated with an independently executable software object that comprises independent variables and functions that are specific to a particular architectural element that is represented by the at least one virtual object. The computer system associates the virtual coordinate system with a physical coordinate system within a real-world environment. The computer system transmits to each device of multiple different devices rendering information. The rendering information comprises three-dimensional image data for rendering the three-dimensional architectural model and coordinate information that maps the virtual coordinate system to the physical coordinate system.
