In embodiments, a structured light projector (SLP) generates and projects a precise geometric pattern or other like artifact, which is reflected by collimating elements into the EFVS optical path. Within the optical path, the EFVS focal plane array is illuminated by, and detects, the projected artifacts within the scene imagery captured for display by the EFVS. Image processors assess the presentation of the detected artifacts (e.g., position/orientation relative to the expected presentation of the detected artifact within the scene imagery) to verify that the displayed EFVS imagery is not misleading.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Rockwell Collins, Inc.Inventors: Gregory G. Lajiness, David I. Han

Patent number: 11580710Abstract: A multiuser, collaborative augmented reality (AR) system employs individual AR devices for viewing real-world anchors, that is, physical models that are recognizable to the camera and image processing module of the AR device. To mitigate ambiguous configurations when used in the collaborative mode, each anchor is registered with a server to ensure that only uniquely recognizable anchors are simultaneously active at a particular location. The system permits collaborative AR to span multiple sites, by associating a portal with an anchor at each site. Using the location of their corresponding AR device as a proxy for their position, AR renditions of the other participating users are provided. This AR system is particularly well suited for games.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Inventors: Jordan Kent Weisman, William Gibbens Redmann

Patent number: 11535155Abstract: Superimposed-image display devices and programs display a guide image providing a guidance of information to a driver of a vehicle such that the guide image is superimposed on a view ahead of the vehicle and is visually recognized. The systems and programs obtain three-dimensional map information that specifies a three-dimensional shape of a road and a structure nearby the road and arrange the guide image in the three-dimensional map information, based on the three-dimensional shape of the road and the structure nearby the road. The systems and programs obtain a shape of the guide image that is visually recognized from a position of the driver in the three-dimensional map information and display the guide image having the obtained shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: AISIN CORPORATIONInventors: Kenji Watanabe, Hiroyuki Miyake, Yuusuke Morita

Patent number: 11514652Abstract: Interference-based augmented reality hosting platforms are presented. Hosting platforms can include networking nodes capable of analyzing a digital representation of scene to derive interference among elements of the scene. The hosting platform utilizes the interference to adjust the presence of augmented reality objects within an augmented reality experience. Elements of a scene can constructively interfere, enhancing presence of augmented reality objects; or destructively interfere, suppressing presence of augmented reality objects.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: NANT HOLDINGS IP, LLCInventor: Patrick Soon-Shiong

Patent number: 11508148Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, computer-implemented methods, and non-transitory computer readable medium for automatically transferring makeup from a reference face image to a target face image using a neural network trained using semi-supervised learning. For example, the disclosed systems can receive, at a neural network, a target face image and a reference face image, where the target face image is selected by a user via a graphical user interface (GUI) and the reference face image has makeup. The systems transfer, by the neural network, the makeup from the reference face image to the target face image, where the neural network is trained to transfer the makeup from the reference face image to the target face image using semi-supervised learning. The systems output for display the makeup on the target face image.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: ADOBE INC.Inventors: Yijun Li, Zhifei Zhang, Richard Zhang, Jingwan Lu

Patent number: 11488358Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for creating a shared augmented reality (AR) session. The methods and systems perform operations comprising: receiving, by a second device, a request to join an AR session initialized by a first device; in response to receiving the request, detecting a body corresponding to a user of the first device in one or more images captured by a camera of the second device; identifying a body part of the detected body corresponding to the user of the first device; determining, by the second device, a transformation in the AR session between the first device and the second device using the identified body part; and causing the AR session to be displayed by the second device based on the determined transformation.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Snap Inc.Inventors: Piers Cowburn, David Li, Isac Andreas Müller Sandvik, Qi Pan, Matan Zohar

Patent number: 11468641Abstract: An augmented reality AR device may be communicatively connected to a remote network management platform configured to support a managed network. The AR device may capture an image of a real object in the field of view of an imaging component of the AR device. The real object may be recognized as a known managed object of the managed network. The AR device may also concurrently determine context information indicating a location or physical environment. The AR device may then transmit an identifier of the known managed object and the context information in a message to the management platform. In response, the AR device may receive data associated with the known managed. The AR device may then display a virtual object in a virtual space superimposed on the captured image of the real object, where the virtual object and the virtual space are based on the received management data.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: ServiceNow, Inc.Inventor: Darius Koohmarey
