  • Patent number: 12339232
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) object scanning method includes: controlling, when an invisible light source is off, a first camera device to capture a first image of the target object; and controlling, when the invisible light source is on, a second camera device to capture second images of the target object from a plurality of viewing angles. The target object is painted with invisible markers that are invisible to the first camera device when the invisible light source is off. The invisible markers are visible to the second camera device upon absorbing a light emitted by the invisible light source. The second images are used to determine 3D information of the target object.

  • Patent number: 12229029
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for testing a multi-channel high-speed low-latency interconnect interface (HLII) for a silicon interposer are provided. The apparatus includes: a standard test port configured to exchange a test instruction; an asynchronous bypass port configured to directly access an input/output (I/O) port of a channel of a physical layer of the interconnection interface; a built-in self-test (BIST) engine configured to implement inter-level loopback testing and data verification; a redundant data channel configured to repair a damaged data channel; and a delay chain testing circuit configured to test a function and linearity of a delay chain. The apparatus embeds test and repair logic into the physical layer and a link layer, achieving internal test control without any external controller. In this way, a sample can be tested and quickly screened to ensure its performance.

  • Patent number: 11200689
    Abstract: A system configured to perform an accurate and fast estimation of an object shape from a single input image. The system may process image data representing a first surface of an object using image-to-image translation techniques. A first trained model may generate depth information for the object, such as front distance estimates and back distance estimates. The system may use the depth information to generate an output mesh shaped like the object, such as, in the case of a pliable object a reposable avatar. The system may improve depth estimation by including a loss on surface normals in the first trained model. A second trained model may generate color information to be applied to the output mesh to accurately represent the object. The output mesh may include detailed geometry and appearance of the object, useful for a variety of purposes such as gaming, virtual/augmented reality, virtual shopping, and other implementations.
