Patent number: 11461630Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for extracting user body shape (e.g., a representation of the three-dimensional body surface) from user behavioral data. The behavioral data may not be explicitly body-shape-related, and can include shopping history, social media likes, or other recorded behaviors of the user within (or outside of) a networked content delivery environment. The determined body shape can be used, for example, to generate a virtual fitting room user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wisenschaften e.V.Inventors: Michael Julian Black, Eric Rachlin, Matthew Loper, Jonathan Robert Cilley, William John O'Farrell, Alexander Weiss, Jason Lawrence Gelman, Steven Douglas Hatch, Nicolas Heron, Javier Romero Gonzalez-Nicolas

Patent number: 10755464Abstract: Present application refers to a method, a model generation unit and a computer program (product) for generating trained models (M) of moving persons, based on physically measured person scan data (S). The approach is based on a common template (T) for the respective person and on the measured person scan data (S) in different shapes and different poses. Scan data are measured with a 3D laser scanner. A generic personal model is used for co-registering a set of person scan data (S) aligning the template (T) to the set of person scans (S) while simultaneously training the generic personal model to become a trained person model (M) by constraining the generic person model to be scan-specific, person-specific and pose-specific and providing the trained model (M), based on the co-registering of the measured object scan data (S).Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.Inventors: Michael Black, David L. Hirshberg, Matthew Loper, Eric Rachlin, Alex Weiss

Patent number: 10679046Abstract: Disclosed is a method including receiving an input image including a human, predicting, based on a convolutional neural network that is trained using examples consisting of pairs of sensor data, a corresponding body shape of the human and utilizing the corresponding body shape predicted from the convolutional neural network as input to another convolutional neural network to predict additional body shape metrics.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.Inventors: Michael Black, Eric Rachlin, Nicolas Heron, Matthew Loper, Alexander Weiss, Xiaochen Hu, Theodora Hinkle, Martin Kristiansen

Patent number: 10529137Abstract: Disclosed is a method including receiving visual input comprising a human within a scene, detecting a pose associated with the human using a trained machine learning model that detects human poses to yield a first output, estimating a shape (and optionally a motion) associated with the human using a trained machine learning model associated that detects shape (and optionally motion) to yield a second output, recognizing the scene associated with the visual input using a trained convolutional neural network which determines information about the human and other objects in the scene to yield a third output, and augmenting reality within the scene by leveraging one or more of the first output, the second output, and the third output to place 2D and/or 3D graphics in the scene.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V.Inventors: Michael Black, Eric Rachlin, Evan Lee, Nicolas Heron, Matthew Loper, Alexander Weiss, David Smith

Patent number: 9252214Abstract: Disclosed is a method to construct a device that includes a plurality of nanowires (NWs) each having a core and at least one shell. The method includes providing a plurality of radially encoded NWs where each shell contains one of a plurality of different shell materials; and differentiating individual ones of the NWs from one another by selectively removing or not removing shell material within areas to be electrically coupled to individual ones of a plurality of mesowires (MWs). Also disclosed is a nanowire array that contains radially encoded NWs, and a computer program product useful in forming a nanowire array.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Brown UniversityInventors: Andre Dehon, Charles M. Lieber, John E. Savage, Eric Rachlin
