  • Patent number: 12198287
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system for presenting AR items. The system performs operations including: receiving an image that includes a depiction of a first real-world body part in a real-world environment; applying a machine learning technique to the image to generate a plurality of dense outputs each associated with a respective pixel of a plurality of pixels in the image; applying a first task-specific decoder to the plurality of dense outputs to identify a pixel corresponding to a center of the first real-world body part; applying a second task-specific decoder using the identified pixel to retrieve a 3D rotation, translation and scale of first real-world body part from the plurality of dense outputs; modifying an AR object based on the 3D rotation, translation, and scale of first real-world body part; and modifying the image to include a depiction of the modified AR object.

  • Publication number: 20240303937
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating a 3D body mesh. The system receives an image that includes a depiction of a real-world object in a real-world environment. The system applies a first machine learning model to a portion of the image that depicts the real-world object to predict a tensor of heatmaps representing vertex positions of a plurality of triangles of a 3D mesh corresponding to the real-world object. First and second heatmaps of the tensor represent respectively first and second groups of possible coordinates for a first vertex of a first triangle of the plurality of triangles. The system generates the 3D mesh based on the selected subset of the tensor of heatmaps.
