Publication number: 20240104312Abstract: Provided are systems and methods that use generative models (e.g., generative adversarial networks) to enable photorealistic text inpainting in augmented reality. One example application of the proposed systems is to perform augmented reality translation. For example, a user can operate an image capture device (e.g., camera, smartphone, etc.) to capture imagery of a real-world scene that includes real-world text (e.g., signage, restaurant menus, etc.). The real-world text can be translated into a different language. Further, the captured imagery can be processed with a machine-learned generative model to produce an augmented image. The augmented image can depict the real-world scene with the real-world text removed. Specifically, because a machine-learned generative model is used, the augmented image can appear significantly more realistic, for example versus an image in which the real-world text has simply been blocked using a box with a single color.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Thomas Jonathan Stone, Darkhan Zholmukhanov, Dawid Michal Wegner

Publication number: 20240051074Abstract: The present disclosure describes an adaptive spring compression tool that streamlines and partially automates the joining of a vehicle suspension system with a vehicle body on an assembly line. The spring compression tool can be modified and programmed to accommodate various vehicle models, products, and design modifications without replacing the entire tooling system. Additionally, the spring compression tool of the present disclosure has a structure, a function, and an operation that facilitates the compression of a spring without exerting large forces on the vehicle body. In various embodiments, the spring compression tool comprises at least two independent drives that adjust the compression of a spring and the position of a suspension system to achieve a car line position with the vehicle body.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Paul Edwin Kelly, Jonathan Stone

Publication number: 20240029587Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for improved simulation of surgical procedures, using models of anatomical organs. The models comprise models of internal components present in the anatomical organ. The models of the internal components are registered to the position which the internal component occupies in the anatomical organ, and in some embodiments the models of the anatomical organ can lose simulated physiological fluids during simulated surgery.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: University of RochesterInventors: Jonathan STONE, Ahmed E.

Publication number: 20230222792Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for recognizing objects and providing content related to the recognized objects are described. In one aspect, a method includes detecting presence of one or more objects depicted in a viewfinder of a camera of the mobile device. In response to detecting the presence of the one or more objects, image data representing the one or more objects is sent to a content distribution system that selects content related to objects depicted in images. A location of each of the one or more objects in the viewfinder of the camera is tracked while waiting to receive content from the content distribution system. Content related to the one or more objects is received from the content distribution system. A current location of each object in the viewfinder is determined and the content related to the object is presented within the viewfinder at the current location of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2023Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Ibrahim Badr, Roland Peter Kehl, Kaan Yucer, Thomas Jonathan Stone, Gokhan H.

Publication number: 20230129708Abstract: Procedure training apparatus, methods and systems which in one embodiment allow surgical trainees to receive expert clinical guidance during live surgery or to practice surgical skills on anatomical models in a realistic manner with an augmented reality headset which is in audio and visual communication with a remotely located trainer having a similar AR headset. A unique feature of the system includes providing live or static imaging of the surgical site to the AR headsets of the trainee and trainer wherein the imaging is provided from medical or other devices (e.g., ultrasound) through a device(s) media hub. The images are displayed in the field of view of the surgeon so that they may see their hands, the patient (or model) and the imaging simultaneously. Controls allow the imaging on the respective AR headsets to be switched on command typically by the trainer which allows the trainer to deliver the trainer's surgical site image (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Nelson Stone, Steven Griffith, Jonathan Stone
