Patent number: 12086376Abstract: This application generally relates to defining, displaying and interacting with tags in a 3D model. In an embodiment, a method includes generating, by a system including a processor, a three-dimensional model of an environment based on sets of aligned three-dimensional data captured from the environment, and associating tags with defined locations of the three-dimensional model, wherein the tags are respectively represented by tag icons that are spatially aligned with the defined locations of the three-dimensional model as included in different representations of the three-dimensional model rendered via an interface of a device, wherein the different representations correspond to different perspectives of the three-dimensional model, and wherein selection of the tag icons causes the tags respectively associated therewith to be rendered at the device.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: Matterport, Inc.Inventors: James Mildrew, Matthew Tschudy Bell, Dustin Michael Cook, Preston Cowley, Lester Lee, Peter McColgan, Daniel Prochazka, Brian Schulman, James Sundra, Alan Tan

Publication number: 20140119642Abstract: Systems for segmenting human hairs and faces in color images are disclosed, with methods and processes for making and using the same. The image may be cropped around the face area and roughly centered. Optionally, the illumination environment of the input image may be determined. If the image is taken under dark environment or the contrast between the face and hair regions and background is low, an extra image enhancement may be applied. Sub-processes for identifying the pose angle and chin contours may be performed. A preliminary mask for the face by using multiple cues, such as skin color, pose angle, face shape and contour information can be represented. An initial hair mask by using the abovementioned multiple cues plus texture and hair shape information may be created. The preliminary face and hair masks are globally refined using multiple techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: FLASHFOTO, INC.Inventors: Kuang-chih Lee, Robinson Piramuthu, Katharine Ip, Daniel Prochazka

Patent number: 8385609Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for forming a mugshot from a digital color image are provided in which a dominant face is determined using the digital color image. Person segmentation is also performed using the digital color image. An image and a mask are cropped based on the dominant face thereby forming a cropped image. Rough segmentation is performed on the cropped image. A mask is averaged in projection space based on the cropped image. The mask is refined mask and prepared for the mugshot.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: FlashFoto, Inc.Inventors: Robinson Piramuthu, Daniel Prochazka

Publication number: 20110305397Abstract: Systems for retargeting an image utilizing a saliency map are disclosed, with methods and processes for making and using the same. To create a contextually personalized presentation, an image may be presented within a target area. The desired location within the target area may be determined for the displaying of the salient portions of the image. To expose the image optimally, the image may need to be transformed or reconfigured for proper composition. Aspect ratios of images may be altered with preservation of salient regions and without distorting the image. A quality function is presented to rate target areas available for personalized presentations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2011Publication date: December 15, 2011Inventors: Robinson Piramuthu, Daniel Prochazka
