Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering three-dimensional (3D) scenes having improved visual characteristics from a pair of 2D images having different viewpoints. The 3D scene is created by obtaining a first two-dimensional (2D) image of a scene object from a first viewpoint, obtaining a second 2D image of the scene object from a second viewpoint that is different than the first viewpoint, creating a depth map from the first and second 2D images, creating a 3D scene from the depth map and the first and second 2D images, detecting regions of the initial 3D scene with incomplete image information, reconstructing the detected regions of the 3D scene, determining replacement information and modify the reconstructed regions, and rendering the 3D scene with the modified reconstructed regions from a plurality of viewpoints.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (including systems and devices), including computer-implemented methods for segmenting, correcting and/or modifying a three-dimensional (3D) model of a subject's oral cavity to determine individual components such as teeth, gingiva, tongue, palate, etc., that may be selective and/or collectively digitally manipulated. In some implementations, artificial intelligence uses libraries of labeled 2D images and 3D dental models to learn how to segment a 3D dental model of a subject's oral cavity using 2D images, height map and/or other data and projection values that relate the 2D images to the 3D model. As noted herein, the dental classes can include a variety of intra-oral and extra-oral objects and can be represented as binary values, discrete values, a continuum of height map data, etc. In some implementations, several dental classes are predicted concurrently.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are related to systems and methods for providing artificial reality. In one aspect, a console receives feedback information indicative of a first completion time from a head wearable display (HWD). The HWD may complete generating a first image frame at the first completion time. The HWD may display the first image frame. In one aspect, the console compares a display time, at which the first image frame is displayed by the HWD, and the first completion time. In one aspect, the console adjusts, according to the comparison, image processing, to adjust a second completion time, at which the console completes generating a second image frame. In one aspect, the console generates, via the adjusted image processing, the second image frame to provide to the HWD.

Abstract: A receiver includes a first discrete Fourier transform (DFT) block to perform a first single tone DFT on a positive tone associated with a sounding sequence. A second DFT block performs a second single tone DFT on a negative tone associated with the sounding sequence. A DFT coefficient generation block generates first DFT coefficients based on a nominal frequency of the positive tone and an estimated frequency offset between a transmitter frequency and a receiver frequency. The DFT coefficient generation block generates second DFT coefficients based on a nominal frequency of the negative tone and the estimated frequency offset. Multipliers in the DFT blocks multiply I and Q values of the sounding sequence with the coefficients. Accumulators in the DFT blocks accumulate multiplier outputs. An arctan function receives averaged accumulated values from the first and second DFT blocks and supplies first and second phase values used to calculate fractional timing.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided respiratory gated radiotherapy using a respiratory motion model. MRI-guided respiratory gating is performed with a continuously updated model that represents a patient's internal anatomy as a mathematical function of an external respiratory surrogate. The motion model may be built and updated by acquiring images of a tissue in a subject and measuring, using the images, a position of the tissue in the images to determine motion of the tissue. The surrogate respiratory signal is acquired contemporaneously with acquiring the images. Motion of the tissue and the surrogate respiratory signal are correlated to create the motion model for the subject and gating a radiotherapy system may then be based upon the motion model. A multi-planar model-based respiratory gating may also be performed by sequentially imaging a stack of adjacent slice positions.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for aligning fiducial markers that commonly exist in each of multiple different N-dimensional (N-D) data sets. Notably, the N-D data sets are at least three-dimensional (3D) data sets. A first set and a second set of N-D data are accessed. A set of one or more fiducial markers that commonly exist in both those sets are identified. Based on the fiducial markers, one or more transformations are performed to align the two sets. Performing this alignment process results in at least a selected number of the common fiducial markers that exist in the two sets being within a threshold alignment relative to one another.

Abstract: There are provided a font creation apparatus, a font creation method, and a font creation program capable of generating, from small-number character images having a desired-to-be-imitated style, a complete font set for any language having the same style as the character images. A feature amount extraction unit (40) receives a character image (32) of a first font having a desired-to-be-imitated style and extracts a first feature amount of the first font of the character image (32). An estimation unit (42) estimates a transformation parameter between the extracted first feature amount and a second feature amount of a reference second font (34). A feature amount generation unit (44) generates a fourth feature amount of a second font set to be created by transforming a third feature amount of a complete reference font set (36) based on the estimated transformation parameter.
