  • Publication number: 20240100879
    Abstract: In a decorative sheet according to the present invention, a design layer has a light passing area in which light passing through a transparent sheet is caused to pass through by a plurality of micro holes. Each of the plurality of micro holes includes a first slit and a second slit on which ink or a deposition film is not put. In each of the micro holes, the first slit and the second slit cross each other. Thus, visibility of a secondary object displayed by passing light is improved, while a reduction in quality of a primary object displayed mainly when light is not caused to pass through is prevented.

  • Patent number: 11854115
    Abstract: A vectorized caricature avatar generator receives a user image from which face parameters are generated. Segments of the user image including certain facial features (e.g., hair, facial hair, eyeglasses) are also identified. Segment parameter values are also determined, the segment parameter values being those parameter values from a set of caricature avatars that correspond to the segments of the user image. The face parameter values and the segment parameter values are used to generate a caricature avatar of the user in the user image.

  • Publication number: 20230244940
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and non-transitory computer storage media for generating an ambient occlusion (AO) map for a 2D image that can be combined with the 2D image to adjust the contrast of the 2D image based on the geometric information in the 2D image. In embodiments, using a trained neural network, an AO map for a 2D image is automatically generated without any predefined 3D scene information. Optimizing the neural network to generate an estimated AO map for a 2D image requires training, testing, and validating the neural network using a synthetic dataset comprised of pairs of images and ground truth AO maps rendered from 3D scenes. By using an estimated AO map to adjust the contrast of a 2D image, the contrast of the image can be adjusted to make the image appear lifelike by modifying the shadows and shading in the image based on the ambient lighting present in the image.

  • Publication number: 20220230388
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for modifying voxel-based 3D representations using 3D digital brush tools and/or resolution filters. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize 3D digital brush tools (e.g., a digital blur brush tool, a digital smudge brush tool, and/or a digital melt brush tool) to identify and modify one or more voxels within a 3D representation using multiple buffers of visual properties. Additionally, the disclosed systems can modify one or more voxels within a 3D representation by rendering the one or more voxels at varying levels of detail using an octree (e.g., a mosaic filter tool). In particular, the disclosed systems can identify one or more voxels within an octree that are smaller than a target voxel size. Moreover, the disclosed systems can combine the identified one or more voxels within the octree to render the 3D representation at varying levels of detail.

  • Patent number: 10861232
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods that facilitate scanning an object (e.g., a three-dimensional object) having custom mesh lines thereon and generating a three-dimensional mesh of the object. For example, a three-dimensional modeling system receives a scan of the object including depth information and a two-dimensional texture map of the object. The three-dimensional modeling system further generates an edge map for the two-dimensional texture map and modifies the edge map to generate a two-dimensional mesh including edges, vertices, and faces that correspond to the custom mesh lines on the object. Based on the two-dimensional mesh and the depth information from the scan, the three-dimensional modeling system generates a three-dimensional model of the object.

  • Patent number: 10825253
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems, methods, computer readable media, and devices that can generate accurate augmented reality objects based on tracking a writing device in relation to a real-world surface. In particular, the systems and methods described herein can detect an initial location of a writing device, and further track movement of the writing device on a real-world surface based on one or more sensory inputs. For example, disclosed systems and methods can generate an augmented reality object based on pressure detected at a tip of a writing device, based on orientation of the writing device, based on motion detector elements of the writing device (e.g., reflective materials, emitters, or object tracking shapes), and/or optical sensors. The systems and methods further render augmented reality objects within an augmented reality environment that appear on the real-world surface based on tracking the movement of the writing device.

A plurality of inputs is received, formed through user interaction with a user interface. Each of the plurality of inputs define a respective user-specified point on the object in a respective one of the plurality of images. A plurality of estimated points on the object are generated automatically and without user intervention. Each of the plurality of estimated points corresponds to a respective user-specified point for other ones of the plurality of images. The plurality of estimated points is displayed for the other ones of the plurality of images in the user interface by a computing device. A mesh of the three-dimensional model of the object is generated by the computing device by mapping respective ones of the user-specified points to respective ones of the estimated points in the plurality of images.
