  • Patent number: 11893313
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of machine-learning including obtaining a dataset of 3D point clouds. Each 3D point cloud includes at least one object. Each 3D point cloud is equipped with a specification of one or more graphical user-interactions each representing a respective selection operation of a same object in the 3D point cloud. The method further includes teaching, based on the dataset, a neural network configured for segmenting an input 3D point cloud including an object. The segmenting is based on the input 3D point cloud and on a specification of one or more input graphical user-interactions each representing a respective selection operation of the object in the 3D point cloud.

  • Publication number: 20230076988
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically furnishing a 3D room based on user preferences including obtaining at least one spatial relations graph of a virtual 3D room and a set of user preferences, converting the set of user preferences into a set of target parameters, computing, for each spatial relations graph: a set of Key Performance Indicator values, and a KPI distance, automatically selecting at least one most promising spatial relations graph, instantiating the most promising spatial relations graph into the 3D room to be furnished, displaying the furnished virtual 3D room proposal to the user, receiving an update of the user preferences, and reiterating until a stopping criterion is fulfilled.

  • Publication number: 20220335171
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically providing at least a template of a furnished virtual 3D room including 3D elements, including, for each furnished virtual 3D room: automatically extracting a spatial relations graph based on spatial relations between the 3D elements of the 3D room, said 3D elements including 3D architectural elements and 3D furnishing objects located in the furnished virtual 3D room, automatically extracting at least one zone from the 3D room based on the spatial relations graph, and extracting a set of constraints about a relative arrangement of said zone with respect to the room architecture or with respect to other zones of the 3D room, a zone being defined by a local spatial arrangement of at least one 3D furnishing object, and storing a template of the furnished virtual 3D room, said template including said zone and said set of constraints.

  • Publication number: 20220189070
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of machine-learning for learning a neural network that encodes a super-point of a 3D point cloud into a latent vector. The method including obtaining a dataset of super-points. Each super-point is a set of points of a 3D point cloud. The set of points represents at least a part of an object. The method further includes learning the neural network based on the dataset of super-points. The learning includes minimizing a loss. The loss penalizes a disparity between two super-points. This constitutes improved machine-learning for 3D object detection.
