Patent number: 11263257Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention disclosed herein provide techniques for automatically exposing 3D production assets to an editorial workstation in a content creation pipeline. A production asset management system transmits, to an editorial workstation, a first content library that includes first metadata associated with a 3D production asset that is included in an editorial cut. The first metadata allows a user to see what versions of the 3D production asset are available for incorporation into the editorial cut. The production asset management system retrieves second metadata associated with a second version of the 3D production asset from a production database. The production asset management system retrieves, based on the second metadata, the second version of the 3D production asset from the production database. The production asset management system transmits the second version of the 3D production asset to the editorial workstation for incorporation into the editorial cut.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Michael Breymann, Evan A.

Publication number: 20210390752Abstract: Embodiments provide for improved capture and modification of sensor data. A first performance in a physical environment is recorded, and a first data object is generated, comprising at least a first motion capture element from the first performance, where the first motion capture element includes at least one of (i) body data or (ii) facial data. A request to modify the first data object based on a second data object including motion capture data from a second performance is received, and the first data object is modified by adding, to the first data object, a second motion capture element from the second data object. The modified first data object including the first motion capture element and the second motion capture element is outputted.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Andrew E.

Publication number: 20210374674Abstract: A computing platform including a processing hardware and a memory storing a software code is coupled to at least first and second workstations and a production asset library. The processing hardware executes the software code to send, from the first workstation, a request identifying a production asset and metadata specification to the second workstation, and receive, from the second workstation, a payload including the production asset and production asset data including preview metadata describing a 3D image of the production asset. The software code further provides the 3D image for display on the first workstation or a third workstation, receives, at the first workstation or the third workstation, a validation input for the production asset, and publishes, in response to receiving the validation input, the production asset data to the production asset library.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2021Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Katharine S.

Patent number: 11064268Abstract: According to one implementation, a media content annotation system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code. The hardware processor executes the software code to receive a first version of media content and a second version of the media content altered with respect to the first version, and to map each of multiple segments of the first version of the media content to a corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content. The software code further aligns each of the segments of the first version of the media content with its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content, and utilizes metadata associated with each of at least some of the segments of the first version of the media content to annotate its corresponding one segment of the second version of the media content.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Miquel Angel Farre Guiu, Matthew C.

Publication number: 20210067844Abstract: According to one implementation, a cloud-based system for performing cloud-based image rendering for video stream enrichment includes a video forwarding unit and a video enrichment unit. The video forwarding unit is configured to detect one or more non-interactive video player(s) linked to the video forwarding unit over a communication network, forward a video stream to the non-interactive video player(s), and forward the video stream to the video enrichment unit. The video enrichment unit is configured to receive the video stream, detect one or more interactive video player(s) linked to the video enrichment unit over the communication network, identify a video enhancement corresponding to one or more customizable video segment(s) in the video stream, insert a rendered video enhancement into the one or more customizable video segment(s) to produce an enriched video stream, and distribute the enriched video stream to one or more of the interactive video player(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2019Publication date: March 4, 2021Inventors: Evan A.

Patent number: 10817565Abstract: A media content tagging system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a tag selector software code configured to receive media content having segments, each segment including multiple content elements each associated with metadata tags having respective pre-computed confidence scores. For each content element, the tag selector software code assigns each of the metadata tags to at least one tag group, determines a confidence score for each tag group based on the pre-computed confidence scores of its assigned metadata tags, discards tag groups having less than a minimum number of assigned metadata tags, and filters the reduced number of tag groups based on the second confidence score to identify a further reduced number of tag groups. The tag selector software code then selects at least one representative tag group for a segment from among the further reduced number of tag groups.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Disney Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Miquel Angel Farre Guiu, Matthew Petrillo, Monica Alfaro, Pablo Beltran Sanchidrian, Marc Junyent Martin, Evan A.
