  • Patent number: 12670659
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training a generative neural radiance field model can include geometric regularization. Geometric regularization can involve the utilization of reference geometry data and/or an output of a surface prediction model. The geometry regularization can train the generative neural radiance field model to mitigate artifact generation by limiting a distribution considered for color value prediction and density value prediction to a range associated with a realistic geometry range.

  • Publication number: 20260162284
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to estimating depth information based on iris size. A computing system may obtain an image depicting a person and determine a facial mesh for a face of the person based on features of the face. In some instances, the facial mesh includes a combination of facial landmarks and eye landmarks. As such, the computing system may estimate an iris pixel dimension of an eye based on the eye landmarks of the facial mesh and estimate a distance of the eye of the face relative to the camera based on the iris pixel dimension, a mean value iris dimension, and an intrinsic matrix of the camera. The computing system may further modify the image based on the estimated distance.

  • Publication number: 20260093324
    Abstract: The technology relates to methods and systems for implicit calibration for gaze tracking. This can include receiving, by a neural network module, display content that is associated with presentation on a display screen. The neural network module may also receive uncalibrated gaze information, in which the uncalibrated gaze information includes an uncalibrated gaze trajectory that is associated with a viewer gaze of the display content on the display screen. A selected function is applied by the neural network module to the uncalibrated gaze information and the display content to generate a user-specific gaze function. The user-specific gaze function has one or more personalized parameters. And the neural network module can then apply the user-specific gaze function to the uncalibrated gaze information to generate calibrated gaze information associated with the display content on the display screen. Training and testing information may alternatively be created for implicit gaze calibration.

  • Publication number: 20250166136
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for controlling material attributes such as roughness, metallic, albedo, and transparency in real images. This method leverages the generative prior of text-to-image models known for their photorealistic capabilities, offering an alternative to traditional rendering pipelines. As one example, the technology can be used to alter the appearance of an object in an image, making it appear more metallic or changing its roughness to create a more matte or glossy finish. This can be particularly useful in various fields where the ability to manipulate the appearance of products in images can be a powerful tool.

  • Publication number: 20240428500
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for creating 3D representations from one or more images of objects. It involves training a machine-learned correspondence network to convert 3D locations of pixels into a 2D canonical coordinate space. This network can map texture values from ground truth or synthetic images of the object into the 2D space, creating a texture data set. When a new synthetic image is generated from a specific pose, the 3D locations can be mapped into the 2D space, allowing texture values to be retrieved and applied to the new image. The system also enables users to edit the texture data, facilitating texture edits and transfers across objects.
