Method for generating shadows in an image

Номер: US20120001911A1
Автор: Gerard Briand, Jean-Eudes Marvie, Pascal Gautron
Принадлежит: Thomson Licensing SAS

As to generate shadows in an image, the method comprises the steps of: Computing a depth-map that comprises an array of pixels, wherein pixels in the depth-map are associated to a single value corresponding to depth value that indicates a depth from a light source to a portion of nearest occluding object visible through the pixel, projecting a point visible through a pixel of said image into a light space, the result of said projection being a pixel of said depth-map, calculating a distance between the said visible point and the light source, fetching the depth value associated to said pixel of depth-map, computing, for said pixel of said image, an adaptive bias as a function of a predetermined base bias and a relationship between the normal of a surface on which the said visible point is located and incident light direction at said visible point, comparing for said pixel in the image, the distance between said visible point and the light source with the sum of the corresponding depth map value and said adaptive bias, labelling said point visible through said pixel as lit or shadowed according to said comparison.

Полезная модель относится к медицине, а именно к устройствам для выполнения хирургических операций на голове с использованием смешанной реальности. Сущность полезной модели заключается в том, что устройство для выполнения хирургической операции на голове с использованием смешанной реальности, с обеспечением возможности фиксации на голове, содержит держатель с оптическим маркером, при этом держатель и маркер соединены между собой, держатель изготавливается персонально, с учетом индивидуальных анатомических особенностей пациента при помощи печати на 3D-принтере и включает обруч, обеспечивающий возможность опоры на мягкие ткани, расположенные над лобной и теменной костями черепа, носоупор, обеспечивающий возможность опоры на ткани над носовой костью, мост, соединяющий обруч и носоупор, а также платформу для крепления маркера. Обруч держателя имеет форму полого усеченного конуса, внутренняя поверхность которого повторяет индивидуальную анатомию пациента. Оптический маркер имеет форму объемного многогранника, например, куба (гексаэдра) и прикреплен к платформе держателя при помощи разъемного или неразъемного соединения. Технический результат полезной модели достигается за счет фиксации держателя с оптическим маркером над лобной и теменной костями черепа, что увеличивает доступность операционного поля при выполнении хирургического вмешательства с использованием смешанной реальности в челюстно-лицевой области. 2 з.п. ф-лы, 5 ил. 202367 И 1 ко РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ ”ВО“” 202 367” 91 ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТИ (12) ИЗВЕЩЕНИЯ К ПАТЕНТУ НА ПОЛЕЗНУЮ МОДЕЛЬ ТСУК Изменение сведений об авторе(ах) (72) Автор(ы): Иванов Владимир Михайлович (КИ), Клыгач Александр Сергеевич (ВП), Стрелков Сергей Васильевич (КО), Штеренберг Сэм Дмитриевич (КП) Дата внесения записи в Государственный реестр: 16.03.2022 Дата публикации и номер бюллетеня: 16.03.2022 Бюл. №8 Стр.: 1 па 49$60С ЕП

One particular implementation of the present invention may involve a method for determining connectivity of a plurality of points on a surface of a computer-generated object in 2D or 3D space. In general, the method may utilize a recursion process to determine or approximate a plurality of association region boundaries related to the points on the computer-generated object. The method may include a first stage of a refinement operation that may recursively search the surface of the computer model for the region boundaries of the set of points, a stopping operation that may cease the recursive search when an acceptable tolerance is achieved and a connecting operation that may use the determined region boundaries to connect the series of points on the surface of the model to form a connectivity graph of the points. The connectivity information obtained through the above method may be utilized as part of an interpolation process to generate hair or fur along the surface of the object.

A runtime management system is described herein that allows a hosting layer to dynamically control an underlying runtime to selectively turn on and off various subsystems of the runtime to save power and extend battery life of devices on which the system operates. The hosting layer has information about usage of the runtime that is not available within the runtime, and can do a more effective job of disabling parts of the runtime that will not be needed without negatively affecting application performance or device responsiveness. The runtime management system includes a protocol of communication between arbitrary hosts and underlying platforms to expose a set of options to allow the host to selectively turn parts of a runtime on and off depending on varying environmental pressures. Thus, the runtime management system provides more effective use of potentially scarce power resources available on mobile platforms.

Methods, systems, devices, and software are described for indirect lighting objects in 3-D virtual environments, such as in video games. A cube map and ground plane of the environment are translated to a 360-degree latitude-longitude map depicting a view from the position of an object. The lat-long map is blurred using a cosine convolution, and then the blurred lat-long map is converted to a local cube map for the object. The local cube map is then used to determine normal and reflective indirect lighting color on the object cast from the environment.

The information defines a virtual area in a camera space, wherein the virtual area has three vertices. The processing unit calculates two intersection vertices between the virtual area and near clipping plane of a view volume of the camera space. The processing unit transforms the three vertices and the two intersection vertices to a screen space and derives three projection vertices and two projection intersection vertices. The processing unit decides a valid area, chooses a test vertex from the valid area, and decides whether the signs of the three projection edge functions defined by the three projection vertices should be changed. Then, the processing unit decides pixels to be rendered according to the valid area, projection edge functions, and a predefined window clipping region.

A method for determining the bidirectional reflectance distribution function of a generally plane rough surface of a specimen made of a given material includes acquiring a refractive index of the material, the spectrum of total reflectance measured on the specimen, and the geometry of the profile of the surface. The geometry is determined by: detecting the height and approximating the surface of the specimen as a distribution of plane triangular microfaces. For each direction of incidence of the light on the surface of the specimen and for each direction of observation there is determined the angular orientation of the microfaces contributing to reflecting in a specular way the light incident in the direction of observation. The Fresnel factor defining the specular reflectance of each microface is determined. The total BRDF is determined as the sum of a Lambertian component and of a specular component.

This application describes a system that captures 3D geometry commands from a first 3D graphics process and stores them in a shared memory. A second 3D environment process creates a 3D display environment using a display and display hardware. A third process obtains the 3D commands and supplies them to the hardware to place 3D objects in the 3D environment. The result is a fused display environment where 3D objects are displayed along with other display elements. Input events in the environment are analyzed and mapped to the 3D graphics process or the environment where they affect corresponding processing.
