  • Patent number: 12688631
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image processing method and apparatus, device, medium and program product. In the image processing method provided by the present disclosure, a deformation instruction sequence to be applied on a target object in a to-be-processed image is obtained, and then deformation offsets are sequentially superimposed on the to-be-processed image texture based on deformation instructions in the deformation instruction sequence to determine a superimposed deformation image texture. Finally, the target object in the to-be-processed image is deformed based on the superimposed deformation image texture to generate a processed image. Since the superimposition of deformation effect offset is performed on a lower-resolution picture, the overhead is smaller; when multiple effects are superimposed on the mobile side, smooth operation can still be guaranteed. In addition, since only a single interpolation operation is performed, these is less loss of the picture quality.

  • Patent number: 12670675
    Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently and accurately access previously stored maps and render virtual content specified in relation to those maps. The cross reality system may include a cloud-based localization service that responds to requests from devices to localize with respect to a stored map. The request may include one or more sets of feature descriptors extracted from an image of the physical world around the device. Those features may be posed relative to a coordinate frame used by the local device. The localization service may identify one or more stored maps with a matching set of features. Based on a transformation required to align the features from the device with the matching set of features, the localization service may compute and return to the device a transformation to relate its local coordinate frame to a coordinate frame of the stored map.
