Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for dynamic real-time texture alignment for three-dimensional (3D) models. A computing device receives input images of objects in a scene, and generates a 3D model for at least one of the objects, comprising a plurality of mesh triangles. The computing device projects each mesh triangle of the 3D model to one of the input images. The computing device measures a texture discontinuity between adjacent mesh triangles of the projected image by comparing color differences in a shared edge of the adjacent mesh triangles. The computing device translates a texture associated with the adjacent mesh triangles in different directions to create texture candidates. The computing device applies the texture candidates to the corresponding mesh triangles until a seamless texture join is formed on the shared edge. The computing device generates a textured 3D model using the 3D model, the projected image, and the texture candidates.

Abstract: A current sensing module for measuring a current includes a conductive substrate, a frame, a circuit board and a magnetic sensor. The conductive substrate has two terminals and at least one slot. The frame has two side portions and a bottom portion, wherein the bottom portion connects the two side portions to form an opening ring-shape. At least one of the two side portions is disposed in the at least one slot, such that the two side portions surround a partial path of the current. A gap exists between two top ends of the two side portions. The circuit board is disposed with respect to the conductive substrate. The magnetic sensor is connected to the circuit board and located in a space between the two side portions rather than in the gap. The magnetic sensor senses the current and generates a first current sensing signal correspondingly.
