Patent number: 11809493Abstract: A non-tokenized string is received. For example, a non-tokenized string could be a credit card number. The non-tokenized string is partitioned into a plurality of non-tokenized substrings. For example, if the credit card number is 16 digits long, it may be partitioned into substrings that are three, six, and seven digits in length. The non-tokenized substrings are used as an index into a plurality of lookup tables. As a result of the indexing, a plurality of tokenized substrings are retrieved. The plurality of tokenized substrings are combined into a tokenized string. The tokenized string is used as a token that represents the credit card number without disclosing the actual credit card number. The reverse of the above process can also occur.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Micro Focus LLCInventors: Luther Martin, Timothy Roake

Patent number: 11804004Abstract: A system prioritizes the rendering and streaming of image data based on risk maps that predict change in a three-dimensional (“3D”) environment. The system receives primitives that are distributed across a 3D space to represent the 3D environment. The system generates a first image based on primitives that fall within a first view frustum, and generates a risk map with a risk value for each particular pixel of the first image. Each risk value quantifies a probability that a pixel of the first image associated with that risk value changes as a result of changing the first view frustum to a second view frustum. The system then performs an out-of-order rendering of primitives that fall within the second view frustum based on the risk value for each first image pixel that is replaced in a second image with a rendered primitive from the second view frustum.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2023Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Illuscio, Inc.Inventors: DonEliezer Baize, David Paul Watson

Patent number: 11776188Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for generating an animation of a talking head from an input audio signal of speech and a representation (such as a static image) of a head to animate. Generally, a neural network can learn to predict a set of 3D facial landmarks that can be used to drive the animation. In some embodiments, the neural network can learn to detect different speaking styles in the input speech and account for the different speaking styles when predicting the 3D facial landmarks. Generally, template 3D facial landmarks can be identified or extracted from the input image or other representation of the head, and the template 3D facial landmarks can be used with successive windows of audio from the input speech to predict 3D facial landmarks and generate a corresponding animation with plausible 3D effects.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Dingzeyu Li, Yang Zhou, Jose Ignacio Echevarria Vallespi, Elya Shechtman

Patent number: 11776215Abstract: One embodiment provides techniques for automatically pre-labeling point cloud data with cuboid annotations. Point cloud data is processed using ML models to detect, associate, and localize objects therein, in order to generate cuboid tracks that each include a series of cuboid annotations associated with an object. An object detection model that detects objects and performs coarse localization is trained using a loss function that separately evaluates the distances between corners of predicted cuboids and corners of ground truth cuboids for position, size, and yaw. A refinement model that performs more accurate localization takes as input 2D projections of regions surrounding cuboid tracks predicted by the object detection model and the cuboid tracks, and outputs refined cuboid tracks. The refined cuboid tracks are filtered to a set of keyframes, with in-between frames being interpolated. The cuboid tracks can then be presented to a user for viewing and editing.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: SCALE AI, INC.Inventors: Chiao-Lun Cheng, Elliot Branson, Leigh Marie Braswell, Daniel Havíř, Jeffrey Alan Anders
