  • Patent number: 12190467
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for modifying parametric continuity between portions of a digital image in piecewise parametric patch deformations. For example, the disclosed system determine parametric patches in a parametric quilt corresponding to a digital image in response to a request to deform the digital image. The disclosed system divides the digital image into a plurality of separate portions along edges of the parametric patches, each parametric patch comprising a separate set of control points. The disclosed system generates sets of interactive handles for each anchor control point in the parametric patch corresponding to metadata flags that determine parametric continuities between portions of the digital image. Additionally, in response to a user input, the disclosed system modifies the parametric continuity at a portion of the digital image corresponding to an anchor control point by modifying a metadata flag for the control point.

  • Publication number: 20240169477
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for warping artwork. The artwork is warped to fit an existing image of a cylinder. A method of warping artwork may include receiving a request to wrap an image onto a cylindrical surface. In response to the request, a set of adjacent warping patches are generated. The set of adjacent warping patches includes a first zero-width patch corresponding to a left edge of the image and a second zero-width patch corresponding to a right edge of the image. The image is mapped to the set of adjacent warping patches based on a viewing perspective of the cylindrical surface. User control handles are provided to adjust the warp to fit the existing image of the cylinder, including its position, curvature, and perspective.

  • Patent number: 11842430
    Abstract: Systems and methods for segmenting scan data are disclosed. The methods include creating a graph from scan data representing a plurality of points in an environment associated with a ground and one or more objects, where the graph includes a plurality of vertices corresponding to the plurality of points in the environment, a first terminal vertex associated with the ground label, and a second terminal vertex associated with the non-ground label. A unary potential being the cost of assigning a vertex to a ground label or a non-ground label is assigned to each vertex, and a pairwise potential is assigned to each pair of neighboring vertices in the graph as a measure of a cost of assigning different labels. The methods include using the unary the pairwise potentials to identify labels for each point and segmenting the scan data to identify points associated with the ground.
