Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include a computer-implemented method of training a neural network for facial reconstruction including collecting a set of 3D head scans, combining each feature of each 3D head scan with a weight to create a modified set of 3D head scans, training the neural network using the modified set of head scans, and inputting a real digital facial image into the neural network for facial reconstruction. Further exemplary embodiments include the set of 3D head scans comprising approximately a tenth or less in quantity in comparison to a quantity of the modified set of 3D head scans. The modified set of 3D head scans may comprise features found in the set of 3D head scans or the modified set of 3D head scans may consist of features found in the set of 3D head scans.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire for use on trucks, the tire comprising: a tread which includes a belt reinforcement structure of only three belts, the belt structure including a pair of working belts, wherein the angle of the working belts range from about 10 degrees to about 50 degrees, wherein a zigzag or low angle belt is positioned preferably between the working belts or radially inward of the working belts. The belt structure further includes a rubber strip located between the radially innermost belt and the tire carcass, and preferably has a gauge that varies across the axial width of the tire.

Abstract: Dynamically customized animatable 3D models of virtual characters (“avatars”) are generated in real time from multiple inputs from one or more devices having various sensors. Each input may comprise a point cloud associated with a user's face/head. An example method comprises receiving inputs from sensor data from multiple sensors of the device(s) in real time, and pre-processing the inputs for determining orientation of the point clouds. The method may include registering the point clouds to align them to a common reference; automatically detecting features of the point clouds; deforming a template geometry based on the features to automatically generate a custom geometry; determining a texture of the inputs and transferring the texture to the custom geometry; deforming a template control structure based on the features to automatically generate a custom control structure; and generating an animatable object having the custom geometry, the transferred texture, and the custom control structure.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and systems for automatically generating an animatable object, such as a 3D model. In particular, the present technology provides fast, easy, and automatic animatable solutions based on unique facial characteristics of user input. Various embodiments of the present technology include receiving user input, such as a two-dimensional image or three-dimensional scan of a user's face, and automatically detecting one or more features. The methods and systems may further include deforming a template geometry and a template control structure based on the one or more detected features to automatically generate a custom geometry and custom control structure, respectively. A texture of the received user input may also be transferred to the custom geometry. The animatable object therefore includes the custom geometry, the transferred texture, and the custom control structure, which follow a morphology of the face.
