  • Patent number: 11941760
    Abstract: Traditional machine learning (ML) based systems used for scene recognition and object recognition have the disadvantage that they require huge quantity of labeled data to generate data models for the purpose of aiding the scene and object recognition. The disclosure herein generally relates to image processing, and, more particularly, to method and system for generating 3D mesh generation using planar and non-planar data. The system extracts planar point cloud and non-planar point cloud from each RGBD image in a sequence of RGBD images fetched as input, and then generates a planar mesh and a non-planar mesh for planar and non-planar objects in the image. A mesh representation is generated by merging the planar mesh and the non-planar mesh. Further, an incremental merging of the mesh representation is performed on the sequence of RGBD images, based on an estimated camera pose information, to generate representation of the scene.

  • Patent number: 11928779
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein generate a mesh representing the surfaces in a physical environment. The mesh is generated using multi-resolution voxels based on detected depth information, e.g., from a depth camera. The techniques may use multiple hash tables to store the multi-resolution voxel data. For example, the hash tables may store each voxel's 3D position and a truncated signed distance field (TSDF) value corresponding to each voxels' distance to a nearest surface. Each of the multiple hash tables may include data corresponding to a different level of resolution and those resolutions may depend upon distance/noise or other factors. For example, voxels close to a depth camera may have a finer resolution and smaller size compared to voxels that are further from the depth camera. Techniques disclosed herein may involve using a meshing algorithm that combines multi-resolution voxel information stored in multiple hash tables to generate a single mesh.

  • Patent number: 11922836
    Abstract: A rendering system includes a first obtainer, a second obtainer, a renderer, an estimator, and a corrector. The first obtainer obtains position information indicating a position of an object from a detector. The second obtainer obtains movement information indicating a movement state of the moving body. The renderer renders a display image including a content related to the object. The estimator estimates a delay period by comparing the position information to estimated-position information indicating an estimated position of the object estimated based on the movement information of the object. The corrector corrects displacement of a display position of the content on the display image which is caused by movement of the moving body over the delay period.

  • Patent number: 11900541
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for estimating 3D coordinate of a 3D virtual model. Two pairs of feature points are obtained. Each of the pairs includes a respective 2D feature point on an organ observed in a 2D image, acquired during a medical procedure, and a respective corresponding 3D feature point from a 3D virtual model, constructed for the organ prior to the procedure based on a plurality of images of the organ. The depths of the first and the second 3D feature points are substantially the same. A first 3D coordinate of the first 3D feature point and a second 3D coordinate of the second 3D feature point are automatically determined based on the pairs of feature points so that a first distance between the determined first 3D coordinate and the determined second 3D coordinate equals to a second distance between a first actual 3D coordinate of the first 3D feature point and a second actual 3D coordinate of the second 3D feature point in the 3D virtual model.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for altering perception of virtual or game content in a virtual space based on one or more attribute levels. The perception of some virtual or game content may not be altered. Thus, the depiction of some content is altered while other content is not. A system may alter the depiction of game content based on attributes of an entity and/or based on which entity is to perceive the game content. The different depictions of game content may be provided to the same entity at different times and/or different perceptions of game content may be provided to different entities. Thus, a rich interface may be provided that differentially depicts game content based on attribute levels and/or the entity that is to perceive the game content.
