  • Patent number: 12131416
    Abstract: A method of forming a pixel-aligned volumetric avatar includes receiving multiple two-dimensional images having at least two or more fields of view of a subject. The method also includes extracting multiple image features from the two-dimensional images using a set of learnable weights, projecting the image features along a direction between a three-dimensional model of the subject and a selected observation point for a viewer, and providing, to the viewer, an image of the three-dimensional model of the subject. A system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 6478217
    Abstract: A box cover or container is provided which includes a first cellulosic board having dorsal and ventral surfaces, the board including a main panel and four flanking panels, one on each side of the main panel standing in orthogonal relationship to one another thereby forming a tray suitable as a cover or container portion of the box. A second board is placed, preferably in adhesive arrangement, against the ventral surface of the first cellulosic board, the second board having a thickness greater than that of the first cellulosic board. A colored pattern is ordinarily printed on the dorsal surface for decorative purposes. A process and blank to assemble the box cover or container is described. In the process, the number of steps are less than half those required for manufacture of a traditional gift or set box.
