Publication number: 20240027794Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating the speed of movement of virtual objects presented by a wearable system are described. The wearable system may present three-dimensional (3D) virtual content that moves, e.g., laterally across the user's field of view and/or in perceived depth from the user. The speed of the movement may follow the profile of an S-curve, with a gradual increase to a maximum speed, and a subsequent gradual decrease in speed until an end point of the movement is reached. The decrease in speed may be more gradual than the increase in speed. This speed curve may be utilized in the movement of virtual objections for eye-tracking calibration. The wearable system may track the position of a virtual object (an eye-tracking target) which moves with a speed following the S-curve. This speed curve allows for rapid movement of the eye-tracking target, while providing a comfortable viewing experience and high accuracy in determining the initial and final positions of the eye as it tracks the target.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Yan Xu, Ikko Fushiki, Suraj Manjunath Shanbhag, Shiuli Das, Jung-Suk Lee

Publication number: 20140027516Abstract: A method for color extension of bar codes includes converting the white portions of a plurality of black and white bar codes to a color unique to each bar code; merging the converted bar codes together to form a combined color image; and producing a color bar code from the combined color image. The method may include rendering, scanning, and decoding the color bar code to recreate the black and white bar codes. The contents of the black and white bar codes may be utilized as data to store text, graphics commands, or music.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventor: Ikko Fushiki

Patent number: 8045823Abstract: The present invention displays text within a region by identifying text boxes within the region. To identify the text boxes, the invention uses scan lines that are spaced at intervals that are smaller than the text height of the text to be placed in the boxes. These scan lines are combined to identify the full text boxes. Additionally, under the invention, a region is transformed before text boxes are generated for the region. The transform is an inverse of a text transform that is applied to the text placed in the region. This allows rotated and skewed text to be placed in the region. The invention also facilitates displaying a single text string across several disjointed regions.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2005Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ikko Fushiki, Hock San Lee, Donald B.

Patent number: 7280692Abstract: A system and method for editing images. Each image editing operation is described by a few parameters. Multiple users can share image processing changes by sharing a few set of parameters instead of the whole bitmaps of the images. An Editing List describes the parameters defining the image changes. The size of Editing List is very small and is ideal for network transmission and collaboration. Image Editing Lists are independent of the images themselves. By decoupling the Image Editing Lists from the original bitmap images, other advantages are obtained. For instance, the same Editing List can be applied to other images and also to multiple images at the same time. Rendering of the modified images can be performed at a later time and only when necessary. In case of collaborative editing, the transmission time is reduced drastically.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Microsoft Corp.Inventors: Ikko Fushiki, Ke-Cheng Huang

Patent number: 7202876Abstract: An image storage and processing method constructs, clips, fills, and combines arbitrary 2-dimensional shapes in an advanced graphics system. The method supports processing of anti-aliased images by compressing the image into a novel AlphaRegion data structure. AlphaRegion encodes into the data structure both the partially transparent as well as the fully opaque alpha values of an image according to rectangular bands. A band is a contiguous series of scan lines that have the same pattern of alpha values in a single direction. AlphaRegion encoding results in a more compact representation than possible in a conventional bitmap, but without losing the anti-aliasing features. AlphaRegion can be constructed either by supersampling sub-scan lines of an image, from the scan lines of a gray-scale image, from an existing conventional 1-bit Region or alpha mask buffer, or directly from a scan-line conversion of a geometric shape. AlphaRegion stores image data into three arrays, yInfo, xInfo and alphaData.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2002Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ikko Fushiki, Hock S.

Patent number: 7158670Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for providing high quality substantially visually error-free conversion of color images. The method maps the color values to an expanded colorspace to represent substantially all colors without perceptible visual error and labels an image determined by the mapped color values as an expanded colorspace image. Thus, the present invention may be utilized to provide a linear color management system. In a 16 bit color data value system, transparency/opaqueness information may be stored, and premultiplied or premultiplied and normalized values may be used for blending.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 1999Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ikko Fushiki, Hock San Lee, J.

Patent number: 6937757Abstract: An extended colorspace which has a higher accuracy and a wider gamut than sRGB color space is disclosed. The extended color space includes an alpha channel which defines the translucency of the color image. The alpha channel is different from known alpha channels in that the inventive alpha channel can represent “super transparent” and “super opaque” values by allowing the alpha parameter (?) to be greater than 1 and less than 0. A data structure for storing the extended colorspace information has three fields, a sign field, an integer field and a decimal field. The sign field defines whether an integer is negative or positive. The integer field defines the integer, wherein the integer defines the super or under saturated values for color and alpha components. The decimal field defines the fine detailed information for the value of the color and alpha components.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2004Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ikko Fushiki, Hock San Lee, J.

Publication number: 20050146527Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for rendering images on a computer screen. Under the invention, a portion of a base image is described using a path. The path is then transformed using a non-affine transform to produce a transformed path. The transformed path is then rendered onto the computer screen. Another aspect of the present invention is a method and apparatus for rendering curves of any order and any dimension. In particular, the present invention provides a means for converting a function of any order and any dimension that describes one segment of a curve into a function that describes a different sized segment or an adjoining segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ikko Fushiki, Hock Lee, J.

Patent number: 6803913Abstract: A system and method is described for manipulating text relative to a curved reference line in order to transform a character, rendered in a particular font, to generate a warped character with the degree of warping reflecting the local curvature of the curved reference line. The curvature of the reference line is reflected in the nature of quadilaterals, i.e., quads, generated for a corresponding rectangle on a straight reference line. The coordinates of the corners of the quad provide the parameters to carry out the transformation. Such rendering improves the appearance of the text and provides a method that modifies available fonts in a flexible fashion without the need to generate new fonts.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1999Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ikko Fushiki, Hock San Lee, David Brown, Bodin Dresevic
