Abstract: Artificial intelligence based techniques are used for analysis of 3D objects in conjunction with each other. A 3D model of two or more 3D objects is generated. Features of 3D objects are matched to develop a correspondence between the 3D objects. Two 3D objects are geometrically mapped and an object is overlayed on another 3D object to obtain a superimposed object. Match analysis of 3D objects is performed based on machine learning based models to determine how well the objects are spatially matched. The analysis of the objects is used in augmented reality applications.

In some examples, 3D scan data of a real-world object is obtained while the real-world object is repositioned in a number of orientations, where the 3D scan data includes 3D scan passes that are each associated with one of the orientations. A projector is used to project a visual cue related to a position of the real-world object as the real-world object is repositioned at each of the orientations. The 3D scan passes are stitched to generate a 3D model of the real-world object, where a real-time representation of the 3D model is shown on a display as each of the 3D scan passes is incorporated into the 3D model.

Abstract: A virtual space display system for a self-driving moving body displays a virtual space different from a real environment such that a passenger on the moving body can enjoy the virtual space without feeling strange for a motion. The system includes a display device, a surrounding situation detector, and a virtual space display unit. The surrounding situation detector obtains information specifying features that influence a path along which the moving body is to move, and specifies such an important feature among features located in the surrounding of the moving body that presence/absence of the important feature has an influence on the path of the moving body. The virtual space display unit converts the important feature into an object that is fit for the influence on the path of the moving body based on a predetermined rule, and causes the display device to display the virtual space including the converted object.

Abstract: Decision making speed of a human is improved by presenting data to the human in ways that enable the human to receive the data at higher rates, and spend more time analyzing received data. The data may represent information, such as infrared imagery or map data, that is not directly perceivable by the human. An individual datum may be presented to the human via multiple senses, to make receiving the datum easier, and to make it more likely that the datum is received, especially in contexts where the human may be busy, stressed, cognitively loaded or distracted by other demands on the human's attention. Some embodiments automatically select which sense or combination of senses to use for presenting each datum, based on various factors, such as how the human's current environment may interfere with the human's ability to receive or process the datum or how busy a given sense is.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to synchronizing access to pixel resources. Examples of pixel resources include color attachments, a stencil buffer, and a depth buffer. In some embodiments, hardware registers are used to track status of assigned pixel resources and pixel wait and pixel release instruction are used to synchronize access to the pixel resources. In some embodiments, other accesses to the pixel resources may occur out of program order. Relative to tracking and ordering pass groups, this weak ordering and explicit synchronization may improve performance and reduce power consumption. Disclosed techniques may also facilitate coordination between fragment rendering threads and auxiliary mid-render compute tasks.
