  • Patent number: 11880492
    Abstract: First video data representing performance of an activity by a first user is acquired. Poses of the first user are determined from the first video data. Second video data is generated based on the determined poses and based on appearance data that represents a second user, such as a model, paid performer, and so forth, in various poses. The resulting second video data depicts the second user performing the same poses as the first user. The second video data may then be sent to a recipient. For example, a participant in an exercise class may send a video to an instructor that depicts what appears to be the paid performer performing the poses, instead of the participant. As a result, video data showing the participant is not shared, protecting the privacy of the participant while still allowing them to participate and interact.

  • Publication number: 20230385479
    Abstract: A method of making a measurement relating to an object manufactured according to a model may be provided. The object may have a measured surface comprising a surface deviation relative to a corresponding surface of the model. The method may comprise obtaining measured surface data representing at least a portion of the measured surface comprising the said surface deviation. The method may comprise determining a measurement surface corresponding to the measured surface of the object by performing a statistical analysis of at least a portion of the measured surface data in respect of an interpretation direction such that a portion of the measured surface data is offset from the measurement surface in the interpretation direction. The method may comprise making a measurement relating to the object depending on the measurement surface.

  • Patent number: 11679507
    Abstract: A method comprises moving a robotic structure to a first pose such that an end-effector of the robotic structure has an absolute position comprising an absolute location and absolute orientation. The method comprises providing a calibration artefact on the end-effector. The method comprises determining at least three planes coinciding with at least three respective surface planes of the calibration artefact, by measuring absolute locations of a plurality of points on the calibration artefact. The method comprises determining the absolute location and absolute orientation of the end-effector, when the robotic structure is in the position based on the determined at least three planes. The method also comprises calibrating the first pose of the robotic structure using the determined absolute location and absolute orientation of the end-effector.

  • Patent number: 11682237
    Abstract: A first user generates video data for performance of an activity, such as a fitness exercise, by performing the activity in front of a camera. Based on the video data, the amount of movement of different parts of the first user's body is determined. Data representing the position of the first user over time is generated. The data may take the form of a function or a signal that is based on the function. The locations of body parts that move significantly are prioritized over other body parts when determining this data. At a subsequent time, a second user performs the activity. The number of times the second user completes the activity is counted by determining the number of times the second user reaches a position corresponding to a maximum value in the data representing the position of the first user.

  • Publication number: 20220261574
    Abstract: Characteristics of a user's movement are evaluated based on performance of activities by a user within a field of view of a camera. Video data representing performance of a series of movements by the user is acquired by the camera. Pose data is determined based on the video data, the pose data representing positions of the user's body while performing the movements. The pose data is compared to a set of existing videos that correspond to known errors to identify errors performed by the user. The errors may be used to generate scores for various characteristics of the user's movement. Based on the errors, exercises or other activities to improve the movement of the user may be determined and included in an output presented to the user.
