Publication number: 20240096018Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering a translucent object are provided. In one aspect, the system includes a processor coupled to a storage medium that stores instructions, which, upon execution by the processor, cause the processor to receive at least one mesh representing at least one translucent object. For each pixel to be rendered, the processor performs a rasterization-based differentiable rendering of the pixel to be rendered using the at least one mesh and determines a plurality of values for the pixel to be rendered based on the rasterization-based differentiable rendering. The rasterization-based differentiable rendering can include performing a probabilistic rasterization process along with aggregation techniques to compute the plurality of values for the pixel to be rendered. The plurality of values includes a set of color channel values and an opacity channel value. Once values are determined for all pixels, an image can be rendered.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Tiancheng Zhi, Shen Sang, Guoxian Song, Chunpong Lai, Jing Liu, Linjie Luo

Patent number: 9785344Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus and a touch detecting method thereof are provided. In the method, a touch is detected by a touch screen of the portable electronic apparatus. Then, whether the touch is located in an edge area of the touch screen is determined. If it is determined that the touch is located in the edge area of the touch screen, the touch time during which the touch continues and no other touch is detected by the touch screen is accumulated, and whether the accumulated touch time exceeds a preset time is determined. If the accumulated touch time exceeds the preset time, related information of the touch is removed from an event triggered by the touch until the touch ends.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Winbond Electronics Corp.Inventor: Chih-Jing Lai
