William Guyman 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: 11176374
    Abstract: The described implementations relate to images and depth information and generating useful information from the images and depth information. One example can identify planes in a semantically-labeled 3D voxel representation of a scene. The example can infer missing information by extending planes associated with structural elements of the scene. The example can also generate a watertight manifold representation of the scene at least in part from the inferred missing information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10740924
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to tracking a pose of a handheld object used with a head-mounted display device. In one example, a method comprises: receiving image data from an image sensing system; detecting a plurality of feature points of the handheld object in a frame of the image data; receiving inertial measurement unit (IMU) data from an IMU of the handheld object; based on detecting the plurality of feature points and receiving the IMU data, determining a first pose of the handheld object; determining that at least a portion of the plurality of feature points is not detected in another frame of the image data; using the IMU data, updating the first pose of the handheld object to a second pose; and body-locking the second pose of the handheld object to a body location on a user wearing the head-mounted display device.

  • Publication number: 20160323490
    Abstract: A facility for generating at least one image is described. For each of multiple registered photography scenarios, the facility determines a suitable score for the scenario based upon state of a photography device. The facility selects a scenario having a suitability score that is no lower than any other determined suitability score. The facility then captures a sequence of one or more frames in a manner specified for the selected scenario, and processes that captured sequence of frames in a manner specified for the selected scenario to obtain at least one image.
