Publication number: 20230281916Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering three-dimensional (3D) scenes having improved visual characteristics from a pair of 2D images having different viewpoints. The 3D scene is created by obtaining a first two-dimensional (2D) image of a scene object from a first viewpoint, obtaining a second 2D image of the scene object from a second viewpoint that is different than the first viewpoint, creating a depth map from the first and second 2D images, creating a 3D scene from the depth map and the first and second 2D images, detecting regions of the initial 3D scene with incomplete image information, reconstructing the detected regions of the 3D scene, determining replacement information and modify the reconstructed regions, and rendering the 3D scene with the modified reconstructed regions from a plurality of viewpoints.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Nir Daube, Zachi Karni

Patent number: 9940701Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating depth image dequantization at computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a digital image of an object, the digital image including pixels having associated pixel values contaminated by noise, and side information pertaining to confidence of a value acquired in each pixel. The method may further include measuring characteristics of noise in each pixel of the digital image, and a plurality of weights relating to one or more of the pixel values, the side information, and the noise characteristics. The method may further include computing a smart filter based on a combination of the plurality of weights, applying the smart filter to filter the digital image by reducing the noise in the digital image, and outputting the filtered digital image.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Michael Bronstein, Zachi Karni, Alex Bronstein, Ron Kimmel, Erez Sperling, Aviad Zabatani, Vitaly Surazhsky

Patent number: 9152679Abstract: According to an example, data pertaining to a plurality of entities recommended for a user may be accessed, in which the data identifies relationships between the plurality of entities with respect to each other. In addition, a relevance map for the user that displays graphical representations of the plurality of entities over a substantially optimized use of space available for display of the graphical representations in the relevance map may be generated, in which the graphical representations of the plurality of entities are arranged in the relevance map according to a predetermined arrangement scheme.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Zachi Karni, Lior Shapira

Patent number: 9114650Abstract: A malfunction diagnosis system of a printer is provided. A printer controller receives malfunction-related input by the user from an input device, which user input specifies a print defect perceptible to the user. It generates image data representing a test print job in response to the user input specifying the perceptible print defect, and forwards the test print job image data to the printing unit to produce a corresponding test printout. Measurement data output from a sensing device as measured on the test printout is received and analyzed, and information indicative of a cause for the print defect based on the analyzed measurement data output from the sensing device is output.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2012Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Shaul Raz, Hila Nachlieli, Zachi Karni

Patent number: 6373484Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for graphically displaying at least two edges extending between common points in a graphical structure. A particular implementation relates to the display of execution paths of a computer program component having multiple execution paths so as to allow proper differentiation between the execution paths. The computer program component is processed so as to derive a data structure containing nodes representing all basic blocks thereof, edges representing lines connecting the nodes, and execution paths traversed during operation of the computer program, component. The resulting data structure is displayed graphically in 3-D. In order to allow the execution paths to be distinguished when they pass along the same edge of the graph, different sections of the edge are color coded. This can be done by spatially separating the edges and coloring each edge uniquely; or by dividing each edge into different colored sections in respect of each execution path.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1999Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dror Orell, Shmuel Ur, Dror Zernick, Zachi Karni
