Patent number: 11967020Abstract: A distributed, cross reality system efficiently and accurately compares location information that includes image frames. Each of the frames may be represented as a numeric descriptor that enables identification of frames with similar content. The resolution of the descriptors may vary for different computing devices in the distributed system based on degree of ambiguity in image comparisons and/or computing resources for the device. A descriptor computed for a cloud-based component operating on maps of large areas that can result in ambiguous identification of multiple image frames may use high resolution descriptors. High resolution descriptors reduce computationally intensive disambiguation processing. A portable device, which is more likely to operate on smaller maps and less likely to have the computational resources to compute a high resolution descriptor, may use a lower resolution descriptor.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Elad Joseph, Gal Braun, Ali Shahrokni

Patent number: 11961176Abstract: Disclosed approaches provide for interactions of secondary rays of light transport paths in a virtual environment to share lighting contributions when determining lighting conditions for a light transport path. Interactions may be shared based on similarities in characteristics (e.g., hit locations), which may define a region in which interactions may share lighting condition data. The region may correspond to a texel of a texture map and lighting contribution data for interactions may be accumulated to the texel spatially and/or temporally, then used to compute composite lighting contribution data that estimates radiance at an interaction. Approaches are also provided for reprojecting lighting contributions of interactions to pixels to share lighting contribution data from secondary bounces of light transport paths while avoiding potential over blurring.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventor: Jacopo Pantaleoni
