  • Generating an anatomy based on weights of selected template anatomies
    Patent number: 11393168
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for generating a new, animation-ready anatomy. A skin mesh of the new anatomy is obtained, such as by performing a 3D depth scan of a subject. Selected template anatomies are also obtained, with each of those template anatomies having a skin mesh that corresponds with the new anatomy's skin mesh. The skin meshes of the new and selected template anatomies share a first pose. Each of the selected template anatomies also has a skeleton for the first pose and skinning weights, and the skin mesh in at least one additional pose that is different from the first pose and any other additional poses. The method then involves using a processor to interpolate, from the at least one of the skeleton and skinning weights of the selected template anatomies and the first and at least one additional pose of the selected template anatomies, the new anatomy.
