Patent number: 11158109Abstract: A machine can be specially configured to generate one or more atlases that include two-dimensional texture maps and their corresponding UV maps from a three-dimensional object, compress the atlases, decompress the atlases, store the atlases, access the atlases, communicate the atlases, apply the texture maps from the atlases to a three-dimensional model, or otherwise process the atlases, the texture maps, the UV maps, or any suitable combination thereof. The atlases, texture maps, UV maps, or any suitable combination thereof can be generated, compiled or otherwise created by the machine in a manner that is computationally efficient to compress and decompress using video compression and decompression techniques.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: 8i LimitedInventors: Gianluca Cernigliaro, Philip A. Chou, Eugene Joseph d'Eon

Patent number: 10192353Abstract: A machine can be specially configured to generate, compress, decompress, store, access, communicate, or otherwise process a special data structure that represents a three-dimensional surface of an object. The data structure can be or include a pruned sparse voxel octree in which each node in the octree corresponds to a different block of the octree, and children of the node in the octree correspond to the smaller blocks that subdivide the block. Moreover, each block occupied by the surface or a portion thereof can define its enclosed surface or portion thereof explicitly or implicitly.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: 8i LimitedInventors: Philip A.

Patent number: 10140729Abstract: A machine is configured to perform data compression or data decompression with respect to visual elements, such as two-dimensional pixels of an image or three-dimensional voxels of a hologram. The machine accesses a set of visual elements and performs compression on the set by generating a bounded volume hierarchy of nodes. After the bounded volume hierarchy has been generated, with or without modification, the machine provides a compressed version of the set by providing at least a portion of the bounded volume hierarchy. The same machine or another machine accesses a compressed first representation of the set by accessing at least part of the bounded volume hierarchy. The machine may perform partial decompression of the first representation by generating a second representation of the set, based on only a portion of the bounded volume hierarchy. The machine then causes rendering and display of the second representation.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: 8i LimitedInventors: Robert James William Higgs, Eugene Joseph d'Eon
