Patent number: 11928845Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate real-time playback of point cloud sequence data is disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more processors to receive point cloud data of a captured scene, decompose the point cloud data into a plurality of point cloud patches, wherein each point cloud patch is associated with an object in the scene and includes contextual information regarding the point cloud patch, encode each of the point cloud patches via a deep-learning based algorithm to generate encoded point cloud patches, receive a viewpoint selection from a client, assign a priority to data chunks within each encoded point cloud patch based on the viewpoint selection and the contextual information and transmit the data chunks to the client based on the assigned priority.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Fai Yeung, Wayne Cochran, Pratibha Pandhare

Patent number: 11282169Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are described for providing real-time capture, processing, and distribution of panoramic virtual reality (VR) content. One embodiment of a graphics processor comprises a video interface to receive a plurality of images from a corresponding plurality of cameras; an image rectifier to perform a perspective re-projection of at least some of the images to a common image plane to generate a rectified plurality of images; a stitcher to analyze overlapping regions of adjacent images in the rectified images and to identify corresponding pixels in the overlapping regions and to stitch the adjacent images in accordance with the corresponding pixels to generate a panoramic image comprising a stitched combination of the rectified plurality of images; and a cylindrical projector to project the panoramic image onto a cylindrical surface to generate a final panoramic video image to be used to implement a VR environment on a VR apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Wayne Cochran, Fai Yeung, Durga Raj Mathur, Gilson Goncalves De Lima, Patrick Youngung Shon, John A.

Publication number: 20180077879Abstract: A saw bar clamping mechanism, length measuring mechanism, system for measuring the length of a tree stem, feed roller mechanism, pin retention mechanism, and a tree processor attachment comprising at least one of the mechanisms and/or system is provided. The saw bar mechanism simultaneously unclamps a saw bar and releases a saw chain for convenient removal. The length measuring mechanism comprises a measuring wheel operable to extend and retract perpendicularly to a tree stem. The feed roller mechanism includes first-side and second-side rollers, and a bearing having outer and inner sides, the bearing being rotatably coupled at its outer side to the first-side roller and rotatably coupled at its inner side to the second-side roller, the bearing making angular contact. The pin retention mechanism includes a two-part collar fitting into a groove with interference for locking a nut received by the collar.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2017Publication date: March 22, 2018Applicant: Axis Forestry Inc.Inventors: Wayne Cochran, Alex Willer
