Patents by Inventor Towaki Alan Takikawa

Towaki Alan Takikawa 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: 11875449
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for rendering complex surfaces or geometry. In at least one embodiment, neural signed distance functions (SDFs) can be used that efficiently capture multiple levels of detail (LODs), and that can be used to reconstruct multi-dimensional geometry or surfaces with high image quality. An example architecture can represent complex shapes in a compressed format with high visual fidelity, and can generalize across different geometries from a single learned example. Extremely small multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) can be used with an octree-based feature representation for the learned neural SDFs.
    Type: Grant
