  • Publication number: 20240161403
    Abstract: Text-to-image generation generally refers to the process of generating an image from one or more text prompts input by a user. While artificial intelligence has been a valuable tool for text-to-image generation, current artificial intelligence-based solutions are more limited as it relates to text-to-3D content creation. For example, these solutions are oftentimes category-dependent, or synthesize 3D content at a low resolution. The present disclosure provides a process and architecture for high-resolution text-to-3D content creation.

  • Publication number: 20240157654
    Abstract: The present application provides eight methods for improving the fineness of a specified region on the surface of a light-curable 3D printed model. In Methods 1-4, an anti-aliasing function is turned on/an image edge blurring function may be turned on entirely for a puppet 3D model, which can make the overall surface of the printed model smooth and flat. In addition, a specified region on the model surface may be circled, and an image sharpening function is turned on/the anti-aliasing function is turned off/the image edge blurring function is turned off to retain a marginal sawtooth effect of the sliced image in the specified region, so that specific feature lines of the printed model surface are obviously prominent, and the fineness of the specific features in the specified region of the model surface can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11983815
    Abstract: In various examples, a deep three-dimensional (3D) conditional generative model is implemented that can synthesize high resolution 3D shapes using simple guides—such as coarse voxels, point clouds, etc.—by marrying implicit and explicit 3D representations into a hybrid 3D representation. The present approach may directly optimize for the reconstructed surface, allowing for the synthesis of finer geometric details with fewer artifacts. The systems and methods described herein may use a deformable tetrahedral grid that encodes a discretized signed distance function (SDF) and a differentiable marching tetrahedral layer that converts the implicit SDF representation to an explicit surface mesh representation. This combination allows joint optimization of the surface geometry and topology as well as generation of the hierarchy of subdivisions using reconstruction and adversarial losses defined explicitly on the surface mesh.
