Patent number: 10380802Abstract: A method of augmenting a human face with projected light is disclosed. The method includes determining a blend of component attributes to define visual characteristics of the human face, modifying an input image based, at least in part, on an image of the human face, wherein the modified input image defines an augmented visual characteristic of the human face, determining a present location of one or more landmarks on the human face based, at least in part, on the image of the human face, predicting a future location of the one or more landmarks, deforming a model of the human face based on the future location of the one or more landmarks, generating an augmentation image based on the deformed model and the modified input image, and transmitting for projection the augmentation image.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Anselm Grundhöfer, Amit Bermano

Patent number: 10133171Abstract: A system for augmenting the appearance of an object including a plurality of projectors. Each projector includes a light source and a lens in optical communication with the light source, where the lens focuses light emitted by the light source on the object. The system also includes a computer in communication with the plurality of projectors, the computer including a memory component and a processing element in communication with the memory component and the plurality of projectors. The processing element determines a plurality of images to create an augmented appearance of the object and provides the plurality of images to the plurality of projectors to project light corresponding to the plurality of images onto the object to create the augmented appearance of the object. After the images are projected onto the object, the augmented appearance of the objected is substantially the same regardless of a viewing angle for the object.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignees: Disney Enterprises, Inc., ETH Zurich (Eidgenoessische Technische Hochschule Zurich)Inventors: Anselm Grundhofer, Amit Bermano, Bernd Bickel, Philipp Bruschweiler, Markus Gross, Daisuke Iwai

Publication number: 20180101987Abstract: A method of augmenting a target object with projected light is disclosed. The method includes determining a blend of component attributes to define visual characteristics of the target object, modifying an input image based, at least in part, on an image of the target object, wherein the modified input image defines an augmented visual characteristic of the target object, determining a present location of one or more landmarks on the target object based, at least in part, on the image of the target object, predicting a future location of the one or more landmarks, deforming a model of the target object based on the future location of the one or more landmarks, generating an augmentation image based on the deformed model and the modified input image, and transmitting for projection the augmentation image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2016Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Anselm Grundhöfer, Amit Bermano
