  • Patent number: 11615547
    Abstract: A light field image processing method is disclosed for removing occluding foreground and blurring uninterested objects, by differentiating objects located at different depths of field and objects belonging to distinct categories, to create see-through effects. In various embodiments, the image processing method may blur a background object behind a specified object of interest. The image processing method may also at least partially remove from the rendered image any occluding object that may prevent a viewer from viewing the object of interest. The image processing method may further blur areas of the rendered image that represent an object in the light field other than the object of interest. The method includes steps of constructing a light field weight function comprising a depth component and a semantic component, where the weight function assigns a ray in the light field with a weight; and conducting light field rendering using the weight function.

  • Patent number: 11164358
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for real-time rendering of giga-pixel images. Image data are subject to offline pre-processing, and then are subject to data decoding and redirection through a decoding module. A corresponding scheduling strategy is determined according to different image inputs, and rendering is executed by a renderer. The present invention may realize the real-time rendering of a giga-pixel panoramic view in a conventional display device, to greatly reduce the resource allocated for rendering of giga-pixel images. The present invention may render an image originally requiring a 40G or more video memory capacity on a common video card with a 1G-4G video memory capacity.

  • Patent number: 10891511
    Abstract: A human hairstyle generation method based on multi-feature retrieval and deformation includes: acquiring a hair style mask; identifying feature points of a human face and match the feature points with a hair style database; aligning an image with a standard human face to acquire a corresponding hair region; calculating Minkowski distances between the hair region and hair masks of all frontal faces in the hair style database; assigning corresponding weights after sorting the Minkowski distances from small to large; training a deep learning network to detect hair styles of hair basic blocks at different scales; and taking out a most similar hair style picture. The present invention utilizes a single frontal photo of the human face, and retrieves a three-dimensional hair model most similar to the photo by retrieving a database in a mass three-dimensional hair style database, to avoid manual modeling, thereby improving efficiency and ensures high fidelity.
