  • Patent number: 11776217
    Abstract: Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are a method for planning three-dimensional scanning viewpoint, a device for planning three-dimensional scanning viewpoint and a computer readable storage medium. After a low-precision digitalized model of an object to be scanned is acquired, viewpoint planning calculation is performed, on the basis of a viewpoint planning algorithm, on point cloud data in the low-precision digitalized model, and then the positions and line-of-sight directions of a plurality of viewpoints in space are calculated when a three-dimensional sensor needs to perform three-dimensional scanning on said object. Calculating viewpoints of a three-dimensional sensor by means of a viewpoint planning algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy and scientific nature of sensor posture determination, greatly improving the efficiency of viewpoint planning, and reducing the time consumed in the whole three-dimensional measurement process.

  • Patent number: 11762570
    Abstract: Direct data transfer between devices having a shared bus may be implemented with reduced involvement from a controller associated with the devices. A controller, a source memory device, and a target memory device may be coupled with a shared bus. The controller may identify a source address at the source memory device for data to be transferred to the target memory device. The controller also may identify a target address in the target memory device, and initiate a data transfer directly from the source to the target through a command that is received at both the source and the target memory device. In response to the command, the source memory device may read data out to the bus, and the target memory may read the data from the bus and store the data starting at the target address without further commands from the controller.

  • Patent number: 11758104
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for the out-of-order predictive streaming of elements from a three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) image file so that a recipient device is able to produce a first visualization of at least a first streamed element from a particular perspective, similar to the instant transfer of two-dimensional (ā€œ2Dā€) images, while the additional elements and perspectives of the 3D image are streamed. The sending device prioritizes the 3D image elements based on a predicted viewing order, streams a particular element from a particular perspective with a priority that is greater than a priority associated with other elements and other perspectives, determines a next element to stream after the particular element based on the next element being positioned adjacent to the particular element and having a priority that is greater than adjacent elements, and streams the next element to the recipient device.

  • Patent number: 11758108
    Abstract: Provided is an image transmission method. Left-eye image data and right-eye image data corresponding to a same original image frame in a target video are divided into sub-images on the image processing device side, multiple sets of image data in one-to-one correspondence with the sub-images are generated, and transmitted to the image display device through transmission threads. Each of the multiple sets of image data includes a sub-image, and first and second sequence numbers that correspond to the sub-image. Left-eye image data and right-eye image data corresponding to a same original image frame are obtained by combining sub-images in the multiple sets of image data, by the image display device, based on first and second sequence numbers in the multiple sets of image data. Finally, a left-eye image corresponding to the left-eye image data and a right-eye image corresponding to the right-eye image data are played.

  • Patent number: 11755486
    Abstract: A shared memory controller receives a flit from another first shared memory controller over a shared memory link, where the flit includes a node identifier (ID) field and an address of a particular line of the shared memory. The node ID field identifies that the first shared memory controller corresponds to a source of the flit. Further, a second shared memory controller is determined from at least the address field of the flit, where the second shared memory controller is connected to a memory element corresponding to the particular line. The flit is forwarded to the second shared memory controller using a shared memory link according to a routing path.

  • Patent number: 11748940
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may determine a view position, a view direction, and a time with respect to a scene. The system may access a spatiotemporal representation of the scene generated based on (1) a monocular video including images each capturing at least a portion of the scene at a corresponding time and (2) depth values of the portion of the scene captured by each image. The system may generate an image based on the view position, the view direction, the time, and the spatiotemporal representation. A pixel value of the image corresponding to the view position may be determined based on volume densities and color values at sampling locations along the view direction and at the time in the spatiotemporal representation. The system may output the image to the display, representing the scene at the time as viewed from the view position and in the view direction.

  • Patent number: 11748932
    Abstract: In various examples there is a method of image processing comprising: storing a real image of an object in memory, the object being a specified type of object. The method involves computing, using a first encoder, a factorized embedding of the real image. The method receives a value of at least one parameter of a synthetic image rendering apparatus for rendering synthetic images of objects of the specified type. The parameter controls an attribute of synthetic images of objects rendered by the rendering apparatus. The method computes an embedding factor of the received value using a second encoder. The factorized embedding is modified with the computed embedding factor. The method computes, using a decoder with the modified embedding as input, an output image of an object which is substantially the same as the real image except for the attribute controlled by the parameter.

  • Patent number: 11737767
    Abstract: An improved catheter is provided for removing an obstruction(s) from a blood vessel, for example, for retrieving a clot/thrombus in the neurovasculature for the treatment of stroke. The catheter has a collapsed state sufficiently small and flexible for easier delivery through challenging vasculature and also has an expanded state sufficiently sized and robust for removing the obstruction. The catheter may include a self-collapsing and expanding mechanism to transition a portion of an outer tube (e.g., a braided portion) between the collapsed and expanded states. Such mechanism may include an inner actuator tube slidable over an actuation wire to collapse a distal branched section of the actuation wire, thereby collapsing the braided portion. The catheter may also include an intermediate coiled tube for reinforcing the braided portion in the expanded state.
