Patents by Inventor Robert G. Adamson, III

Robert G. Adamson, III has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11636639
    Abstract: Trained segmentation, classification, and style transformation models are used to apply style effects to image segments corresponding to objects (e.g., a portrait of a person) present in an image. When depth information is included with a source image it may be used to segment, classify, and/or apply style transformation to an image or image segments (as the case may be). One or more of the segmentation, classification, and style transformations may be performed at a computing apparatus or as a service for example, in the cloud. A model management tool implemented at a server(s) may continuously train models using supervised or unsupervised training techniques to improve the quality of segmentation, classification and style transformation as well as add new capabilities. Updated models may be pushed to services offering image processing.

  • Patent number: 10963622
    Abstract: When a browsing computer navigates to a network document, such as a web page, the corresponding server also downloads computer readable formatting information necessary for the operating system of the browsing computer to render correctly any characters within the network document even if the fonts associated with those characters do not exist on the browsing computer prior to encountering the network document. An exposure module is also downloaded to the browsing computer. The exposure module is loaded onto the browsing computer, which in turn either permanently installs or temporarily exposes the operating system of the browsing computer to the computer readable font formatting information associated with the network document. As a result, the operating system of the browsing computer is able to display or otherwise process the network document correctly and consistently regardless of the computer readable fonts installed on the browsing computer.

  • Patent number: 9892093
    Abstract: When a browsing computer navigates to a network document, such as a web page, the corresponding server also downloads computer readable formatting information necessary for the operating system of the browsing computer to render nonstandard characters within the network document. An installation module is also downloaded to the browsing computer. The installation module is loaded onto the browsing computer which in turn either permanently installs or temporarily exposes the operating system of the browsing computer to the computer readable formatting information. As a result, the operating system of the browsing computer is able to display the network document including the non-standard characters.
