Abstract: A first model generated by deforming, based on the orientation of an object identified by a plurality of texture images representing a color of the object based on image capturing of a plurality of imaging devices, a base model stored in advance and representing the basic three-dimensional shape of the object is obtained. Further, a second model representing the three-dimensional shape of the object, which is generated based on a silhouette image based on image capturing of the plurality of imaging devices, is obtained. Then, an unnecessary element among elements configuring the second model is deleted based on a difference between the first model and the second model. Due to this, the accuracy of a three-dimensional model is improved.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a technique for selectively recovering features of an original surface (e.g. boundary) representation after the original surface representation has been converted to a digitised image, digitally altered, and a new surface representation generated from the digitally altered digitised image. In particular, this technique involves tracking the portions of the digitised image that are digitally altered and/or not digitally altered, and selectively recovering only the portions of the original surface representation that have not been digitally altered. In this way, the original surface representation can be effectively used as a template to recover accuracy and reintroduce detailed features that would otherwise be lost when converting into image space, but any alterations or manipulations intentionally introduced in the image space are maintained.

The blended image of the anatomical structure is overlaid on the determined background structure.

Abstract: The techniques discussed herein enhance the operation of content generation and analysis systems. Namely, textual content applications such as technical documentation, creative writing, and content moderation. This is accomplished through generating a graphical representation of a body of text (e.g., a document). The graphical representation can comprise a plurality of nodes representing the words of the document and a plurality of lines that join the nodes representing a level of association between individual words. As such, the graphical representation can capture the semantic and syntactical structure of the associated document while omitting the original textual content. The graphical representation can be subsequently evaluated for complexity based on the density of nodes and lines. Accordingly, the disclosed system can assign a score to a document based on the evaluation of the graphical representation. In addition, various documents can be ranked based on such scores.

Abstract: A method for detecting conflation errors in an augmented reality interface is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes receiving an actual screenshot of an augmented reality interface. The method generates, using a generative adversarial network (GAN), a replica screenshot of the augmented reality interface that indicates how the actual screenshot is expected to appear. The replica screenshot is non-identical to the actual screenshot. The method receives the actual screenshot and the replica screenshot into a fractal-based convolutional neural network (CNN) to determine a correlation between the actual screenshot and the replica screenshot. In the event the correlation is below a designated threshold, the method flags the actual screenshot as having a potential conflation error. This conflation error may involve conflating a digital component for a physical component or vice versa. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
