Shihao Wu 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: 11074743
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a differentiable rendering application enables an inverse rendering application to infer attributes associated with a 3D scene. In operation, the differentiable rendering application renders an image based on a first set of points associated with the 3D scene. The differentiable rendering application then generates an artificial gradient that approximates a change in a value of a first pixel included in the image with respect to a change in an attribute of a first point included in the first set of points. Subsequently, the inverse rendering application performs optimization operation(s) on the first point based on the artificial gradient to generate a second set of points. Notably, an error associated with the second set of points is less than an error associated with the first set of points.
