  • Patent number: 11915381
    Abstract: A method for virtual spectacle adjustment and a corresponding computer program and computing device are disclosed. First measurement points are defined on a 3D model of a person's head, and a model of a frame is adjusted on the basis of the first measurement points. Defining the first measurement points includes defining second measurement points on a parametric head model, adjusting the parametric head model to the 3D model of the person's head, and determining the first measurement points on the basis of the second measurement points and the adjustment. In this way, the second measurement points only have to be defined once on the parametric model so that the first measurement points can be defined for a plurality of different 3D models of different heads.

  • Publication number: 20230011964
    Abstract: A method for operating a particle beam microscope comprises scanning an object using a particle beam and detecting electrons and x-ray radiation when scanning an object using a particle beam. Improved x-ray radiation information can be generated by combining weighted x-ray radiation information items according to the formula S e ( r ? "\[Rule]" i ) = ? j w ? ( i , j ) · S ? ( r ? "\[Rule]" j ) , wherein S({right arrow over (r)}i) is the detected x-ray radiation intensity assigned to a location {right arrow over (r)}i. The following holds true for the weights, for example: w ? ( i , j ) = e - ( r ? "\[Rule]" i - r ? "\[Rule]" j ) 2 / ? f 2 · e - ( I ? ( r ? "\[Rule]" i ) - I ? ( r ? "\[Rule]" j ) ) 2 / ? g 2 , wherein I({right arrow over (r)}) represents the intensity of the detected electrons that is assigned to the location {right arrow over (r)}, and ?f and ?g are constants.

  • Patent number: 11262597
    Abstract: A virtual try-on process for spectacles includes an approximate positioning and a fine positioning of a spectacle frame on a head of a user. Provided for this purpose are 3D models of the head and the spectacle frame, as well as head metadata based on the model of the head and frame metadata based on the model of the frame. The head metadata contains placement information, in particular a placement point, which can be used for the approximate positioning of the spectacle frame on the head, and/or a placement region which describes a region of the earpiece part of the frame for placement on the ears of the head. A rapid and relatively simple computational positioning of the spectacle frame on the head and a more accurate positioning using a subsequent precise adjustment can be achieved with the aid of the metadata.
