The system adapts the hand gestures as intuitive controls for rapidly creating and customizing the 3D objects to have a desired artistic effect or a desired look. The system selects a 3D model of a particular object in response to a first user input, sets a position in a virtual space at which to generate the particular object in response to a mapped position of a first hand gesture tracked in a physical space, and generates a first state representation of the particular object at the position in the virtual space in response to a second hand gesture. The first state representation presents the particular object at one of different modeled stages of the particular object lifecycle.

  • Patent number: 11794107
    Abstract: The patent discloses improved methods and systems for detecting a collision between a player controlled virtual character in a video game and an object positioned on a surface in a virtual environment of the video game. Two geometric models are defined, one of which is preferably a cylinder and the other of which is preferably a capsule. For a frame of the video game, data indicative of a position, velocity and direction of the virtual character is acquired and, in a subsequent frame, data indicative of another position of the virtual character is acquired. The first geometric model is moved vertically downward by a predefined distance to identify a level of the ground surface and the second geometric model is moved horizontally forward to detect a collision of the virtual character with the object.

  • Patent number: 11790594
    Abstract: Disclosed approaches provide for irradiance caches which may be used to share irradiance between ray interactions spatially and/or temporally. An irradiance cache may store incoming irradiance or outgoing irradiance and may be updated by casting one or more rays from one or more locations to sample irradiance for the location(s). The number of rays that are cast may be reduced by ranking the locations, irradiance caches, and/or corresponding groups of geometry based on one or more characteristics thereof. For example, a ranking score may be computed based on camera distance, camera visibility, and/or a number of frames since a prior update. When sampling a location, outgoing irradiance from an outgoing irradiance cache may be used to determine shading when a hit distance of a ray used to generate the sample exceeds a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11792522
    Abstract: A method for decoding a 360-degree image includes: receiving a bitstream obtained by encoding a 360-degree image; generating a prediction image by making reference to syntax information obtained from the received bitstream; combining the generated prediction image with a residual image obtained by dequantizing and inverse-transforming the bitstream, so as to obtain a decoded image; and reconstructing the decoded image into a 360-degree image according to a projection format. Here, generating the prediction image includes: checking, from the syntax information, prediction mode accuracy for a current block to be decoded; determining whether the checked prediction mode accuracy corresponds to most probable mode (MPM) information obtained from the syntax information; and when the checked prediction mode accuracy does not correspond to the MPM information, reconfiguring the MPM information according to the prediction mode accuracy for the current block.

  • Patent number: 11770510
    Abstract: A method involves receiving a color video signal having a first frame rate. The color video signal is pre-processed to produce a pre-processed color video stream. The pre-processed color video stream is transformed into a monochromatic sketch stream. The first frame rate of the sketch stream is adapted to a second frame rate in accordance with dynamics of objects in a scene and are encoded to produce an encoded sketch stream. Frame-hints are produced using the pre-processed color video stream and are encoded to produce encoded frame-hints. The encoded sketch stream is multiplexed with the encoded frame-hints and service data to produce multiplexer output data which is transmitted via a communication channel or stored in a data storage system.

  • Patent number: 11754685
    Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute information. Attribute values for at least one starting point are included in a compressed attribute information file and attribute correction values are included in the compressed attribute information file. An order for the points is determined based on a space filling curve, wherein an encoder and a decoder determine a same order for the points based on the space filling curve. Levels of detail are determined by sampling the ordered points according to different sampling parameters, and attribute values are predicted for the points in the levels of detail using the determined order. The encoder determines attribute correction values based on a comparison of the predicted values to an original value prior to compression. The decoder corrects the predicted attribute values based on received attribute correction values.
