  • Patent number: 11676328
    Abstract: A system prioritizes the rendering and streaming of image data based on risk maps that predict change in a three-dimensional (ā€œ3Dā€) environment. The system receives primitives that are distributed across a 3D space to represent the 3D environment. The system generates a first image based on primitives that fall within a first view frustum, and generates a risk map with a risk value for each particular pixel of the first image. Each risk value quantifies a probability that a pixel of the first image associated with that risk value changes as a result of changing the first view frustum to a second view frustum. The system then performs an out-of-order rendering of primitives that fall within the second view frustum based on the risk value for each first image pixel that is replaced in a second image with a rendered primitive from the second view frustum.

    Abstract: A non-invasive method of calculating the central venous pressure (CVP) of a patient may include analysis of video of the neck region of the patient. Filters, which may include spatial filters and/or temporal filters, may be applied to the video to enhance the visibility of small movements, which may be due to circulatory pulsations of the patient. The video may be modified to highlight such movements, and motion indicative of venous pulsation may be distinctly identified and highlighted.

  • Patent number: 11593979
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for implementing part-level semantic aware transformations when editing digital images. For example, the disclosed systems identify a user selection designating an active region of a subpart (e.g., an object portion) to modify in a shape-constrained manner. Additionally, in certain implementations, the disclosed systems identify another user selection to designate an influenced region comprising adjoining areas connected to the active region. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a boundary vector path outlining the active region and the influenced region. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can determine transformation constraints corresponding to specific path segments of the boundary vector path.

  • Patent number: 11574449
    Abstract: An illustrative image rendering system separate from and communicatively coupled to a presentation device detects a pre-modeled scene within a captured frame received from the presentation device. The pre-modeled scene is associated with a model asset accessible to the image rendering system. Based on the captured frame and the model asset, the image rendering system generates an augmentable representation of the pre-modeled scene and, based on the augmentable representation, generates an augmented version of the captured frame. The generating of the augmented version of the captured frame includes a plurality of render passes each configured to simulate a different virtualized element of a plurality of virtualized elements augmenting the pre-modeled scene within the augmented version of the captured frame. The image rendering system provides the augmented version of the captured frame to the presentation device. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
