  • Patent number: 11736673
    Abstract: An unobstructed image portion of a captured image from a first camera of a camera pair, e.g., a stereoscopic camera pair including fisheye lenses, is combined with a scaled extracted image portion generated from a captured image from a second camera in the camera pair. An unobstructed image portion of a captured image from the second camera of the camera pair is combined with a scaled extracted image portion generated from a captured image from the first camera in the camera pair. As part of the combining obstructed image portions which were obstructed by part of the adjacent camera are replaced in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the obstructions are due to adjacent fisheye lens. In various embodiments fish eye lenses which have been cut to be flat on one side are used for the left and right cameras with the spacing between the optical axis approximating the spacing between the optical axis of a human person's eyes.

  • Patent number: 11347905
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing softbody tissue simulation are described. A two-dimensional (2D) vertex displacement grid, represented as a 2D texture of a softbody mesh, can be determined. The 2D texture can comprise pinned positions of vector displacements relative to base positions. The surface of a three-dimensional (3D) object can be displaced by adding the vector displacements stored in the 2D texture in order to perform softbody tissue simulation. The pinning can comprise sliding, and sliding objects can be represented as signed distance functions (SDFs).
