  • Computer-implemented method and apparatus for tracking and reshaping a human shaped figure in a digital world video
    Patent number: 9191579
    Abstract: The invention concerns a computer-implemented method for tracking and reshaping a human-shaped figure in a digital video comprising the steps: acquiring a body model of the figure from the digital video, adapting a shape of the body model, modifying frames of the digital video, based on the adapted body model and outputting the digital video.

  • Method and system for generating a 3D model from images
    Patent number: 8699787
    Abstract: A method for generating a three dimensional (3D) model of an object from a series of two dimensional (2D) images is described. The series of 2D images depict varying views of the object and have associated camera parameter information. The method includes the steps of tracing the object in a first 2D image selected from the series of 2D images to provide a first set of tracing information, then tracing the object in a second 2D image selected from the series of 2D images to provide a second set of tracing information. The 3D model of the object is then generated based on the camera parameter information and the first and second sets of tracing information.

  • Method and system for generating a 3D model
    Patent number: 8675951
    Abstract: A method for generating a three dimensional (3D) model of an object is depicted in a two dimensional (2D) image is disclosed, The 2D image includes associated 3D information. The method includes an operator determining a geometric primitive corresponding to shape characteristics of the object and then the generation of the 3D model based on the determined geometric primitive, the 2D image, and the associated 3D information.
