  • Progressive transformation of face information
    Patent number: 11967178
    Abstract: A face-processing system is described for producing a target image based on a source image and driving information. The source image includes data depicting at least a face of a source subject having a source identity, a source pose, and a source expression. The driving information specifies one or more driving characteristics. The target image combines characteristics of the source image and the driving information. According to illustrative implementations, the face-processing system produces the target image by using plural warping subcomponents that operate at plural respective levels of a neural network and at increasing respective resolutions. Each warping subcomponent operates, in part, based on geometric displacement field (GDF) information that describes differences between a source mesh derived from the source image and a driving mesh derived from the driving information.

  • Pupil tracking near-eye display
    Patent number: 11966049
    Abstract: A near-eye display apparatus comprises a spatial light modulator illuminated by a directional backlight and a magnifying lens arranged to provide a magnified wide field of view image to an eye of a user. The directional backlight comprises an array of light sources and a stepped waveguide comprising a curved reflective end. Light propagates along the waveguide without loss and is reflected from the reflective end. The steps of the waveguide are arranged to provide a virtual optical window for each light source. The magnifying lens images the virtual optical window to a real pupil window in an eyebox. The real pupil window may be steered in response to the measured location of the user's pupil. High illumination efficiency is provided to the user in a thin form factor.
