  • Patent number: 11915362
    Abstract: Various embodiments set forth systems and techniques for generating seams for a 3D model. The techniques include generating, based on the 3D model, one or more inputs for one or more trained machine learning models; providing the one or more inputs to the one or more trained machine learning models; receiving, from the one or more trained machine learning models, seam prediction data generated based on the one or more inputs; and placing one or more predicted seams on the 3D model based on the seam prediction data.

  • Patent number: 11295167
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for data curation and image evaluation. A first image is captured, and a first indication of a first item is received. A first identifier of the first item is then identified based on the first indication. Further, based on the first indication, it is determined that the first image depicts the first item. The first image is labeled with the first identifier, and a machine learning (ML) model of an ML system is trained based on the labeled first image.

  • Patent number: 10602121
    Abstract: An apparatus for capture-based telepresence in a virtual environment session, comprises 3D capture devices to continuously capture image data of a first user. A processing unit comprises: an image processor for continuously producing a first 3D representation of the first user based on the image data, the first 3D representation having at least punctually a user specific position in a virtual environment. A data transmitter transmits the first 3D representation for remote use in the virtual environment session. A data receiver continuously receives a second 3D representation of a second user, image data for the virtual environment, and at least punctually receiving user specific position of the second 3D representation relative to the virtual environment. A rendering engine outputs for display the 3D representation of the second user positioned relative to the first user as inserted in the virtual environment based on said user specific positions.

  • Patent number: 6382137
    Abstract: Device designed to be carried by an animal and capable of controlled release of one or several active principles and, more particularly, one or several medicinal active principles to protect and/or treat this animal against possible pathologies, and capable of being used as a restraint for controlling and managing the animal. In one embodiment the device is used with a leash or lead fixed to the device. Method for making the device. The device comprises a first material for the controlled release of one or several active substances of polymer matrix type containing this active substance and a second material for providing it with mechanical resistance, the materials being closely bound within a single structure.
