Publication number: 20240104842Abstract: A method for generating, by an encoder-based model, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a two-dimensional (2D) image is provided. The encoder-based model is trained to infer the 3D representation using a synthetic training data set generated by a pre-trained model. The pre-trained model is a 3D generative model that produces a 3D representation and a corresponding 2D rendering, which can be used to train a separate encoder-based model for downstream tasks like estimating a triplane representation, neural radiance field, mesh, depth map, 3D key points, or the like, given a single input image, using the pseudo ground truth 3D synthetic training data set. In a particular embodiment, the encoder-based model is trained to predict a triplane representation of the input image, which can then be rendered by a volume renderer according to pose information to generate an output image of the 3D scene from the corresponding viewpoint.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Koki Nagano, Alexander Trevithick, Chao Liu, Eric Ryan Chan, Sameh Khamis, Michael Stengel, Zhiding Yu

Publication number: 20240087297Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods are directed to generating customized imagery includes receiving input parameters that define operations for one of plural disparate image processing tools in generating the customized imagery and define attributes of the customized imagery to be generated. Program code for generating an API is executed and the API establishes communication with each image processing tool. The API generates parameterized calls which provide instructions for a specified one of the image processing tools to generate the customized imagery. The image processing tool which receives the instructions is identified from the input parameters. The parameterized calls are sent to the parameterized calls to the image processing tool and the customized imagery is generated. The customized imagery is returned to the API and is stored in a database as training data for an artificial intelligence model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.Inventors: Luke SHELLHORN, Melodie BUTZ, Christopher NITHIANANDAM, Andrew MARTIN, Zachary HUMAYUN, Ryan CHAN

Patent number: 11900729Abstract: An eyewear having an electronic processor configured to identify a hand gesture including a sign language, and to generate speech that is indicative of the identified hand gesture. The electronic processor uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify the hand gesture by matching the hand gesture in the image to a set of hand gestures, wherein the set of hand gestures is a library of hand gestures stored in a memory. The hand gesture can include a static hand gesture, and a moving hand gesture. The electronic processor is configured to identify a word from a series of hand gestures.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: SNAP INC.Inventors: Ryan Chan, Brent Mills, Eitan Pilipski, Jennica Pounds, Elliot Solomon

Publication number: 20230081641Abstract: A single two-dimensional (2D) image can be used as input to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the 2D image. This is done by extracting features from the 2D image by an encoder and determining a 3D representation of the 2D image utilizing a trained 2D convolutional neural network (CNN). Volumetric rendering is then run on the 3D representation to combine features within one or more viewing directions, and the combined features are provided as input to a multilayer perceptron (MLP) that predicts and outputs color (or multi-dimensional neural features) and density values for each point within the 3D representation. As a result, single-image inverse rendering may be performed using only a single 2D image as input to create a corresponding 3D representation of the scene in the single 2D image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Koki Nagano, Eric Ryan Chan, Sameh Khamis, Shalini De Mello, Tero Tapani Karras, Orazio Gallo, Jonathan Tremblay
