  • Patent number: 11928856
    Abstract: A synthetic world interface may be used to model digital environments, sensors, and motions for the evaluation, development, and improvement of computer vision and speech algorithms. A synthetic data cloud service with a library of sensor primitives, motion generators, and environments with procedural and game-like capabilities, facilitates engineering design for a manufactural solution that has computer vision and speech capabilities. In some embodiments, a sensor platform simulator operates with a motion orchestrator, an environment orchestrator, an experiment generator, and an experiment runner to test various candidate hardware configurations and computer vision and speech algorithms in a virtual environment, advantageously speeding development and reducing cost. Thus, examples disclosed herein may relate to virtual reality (VR) or mixed reality (MR) implementations.

  • Patent number: 11250321
    Abstract: An immersive feedback loop is disclosed for improving artificial intelligence (AI) applications used for virtual reality (VR) environments. Users may iteratively generate synthetic scene training data, train a neural network on the synthetic scene training data, generate synthetic scene evaluation data for an immersive VR experience, indicate additional training data needed to correct neural network errors indicated in the VR experience, and then generate and retrain on the additional training data, until the neural network reaches an acceptable performance level.

  • Publication number: 20190340317
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for using a synthetic world interface to model environments, sensors, and platforms, such as for computer vision sensor platform design. Digital models may be passed through a simulation service to generate synthetic experiment data. Systematic sweeps of parameters for various components of the sensor or platform design under test, under multiple environmental conditions, can facilitate time- and cost-efficient engineering efforts by revealing parameter sensitivities and environmental effects for multiple proposed configurations. Searches through the generated synthetic experimental data results can permit rapid identification of desirable design configuration candidates.

  • Patent number: 9128994
    Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for visually representing queries of multi-source data. Embodiments of the invention can be used to visually represent queries of multi-source data. Visual cues can be used to help surface insights into data sets. For example, keywords can be assigned colors. Within a data set, the keywords can be presented as colored highlights (i.e., individual keywords can be displayed using different colors). Presentation of multiple colored highlighted keywords can be optimized for quick visual consumption. As such, a user can more easily determine the volume of keywords within a data set and can identify trends in keyword volume over time. A “mountaintop view” of an entire data set can be presented to show highlighted words within the data set as color blocks without having to scroll.
