Patent number: 12682503Abstract: Described herein is a method to segment meshes into sub-meshes based on triangle properties. The triangles are first classified according to some characteristic using their respective areas. A filtering process may change the classification according to the neighboring triangles. Then connected components are generated, and neighboring connected components are merged following a certain criteria. In some embodiments, connected components that share the most amount of edges are merged. With this technique, sub-meshes can be automatically generated without any previous knowledge of the mesh generation stage.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2023Date of Patent: July 14, 2026Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventors: Danillo Graziosi, Alexandre Zaghetto, Ali Tabatabai

Patent number: 12664706Abstract: An online system generates images for collections of items using an image generation model. To ensure a generated image accurately reflects a collection of items, the online system determines a type of the collection and selects a template including evaluation questions associated with the determined type. Evaluation questions are curated to determine accuracy of the content of a generated image for the collection. By applying a visual learning model to the questions in the selected template and the generated image, the online system identifies discrepancies between the image and the collection of items from the output of the vision language model. Subsequently, the online system prompts the image generation model to create an updated image for the collection that does not include the identified discrepancies. The online system may repeat the discrepancy identification and image modification until no discrepancies are found in the generated image.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2024Date of Patent: June 23, 2026Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Prithvishankar Srinivasan, Orrin Naylor, Jatin Jain, Shishir Kumar Prasad, Katherine Tsen, Riddhima Sejpal
