AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a way to efficiently transmit and process volumetric data, like 3D images or videos, using special cameras or sensors. The data is captured and reconstructed in 3D, then modified using computer techniques to predict future frames. This allows for higher compression rates and faster transmission of the data. On the other side, a decoder reverses the process to create the original frames. Overall, this technology allows for more efficient and effective transmission of volumetric data.

Problems solved by technology

The 5 G network, like any network, can only handle a limited amount of data.
Thus, sending large amounts of data over the network could lead to issues.
Since volumetric 3D content includes large amounts of data, transmitting volumetric 3D content inefficiently could cause bandwidth issues.

Embodiment Construction

[0010]Efficient 5 G transmission of volumetric data using 3D character rigging techniques is able to be achieved by capturing volumetric data using RGB, depth or other special purpose cameras or sensors, reconstructing in 3D and then performing character rigging. The ability to render future or novel frames using rigging is able to be used in order to predict future and past models. By sending the rigging vectors and the compressed errors of difference between actual and predicted models, higher compression rates of volumetric sequences are able to be achieved compared to traditional methods. The decoder on the other side of the 5 G channel reverses the process to synthesize original frames.

[0011]Rigging is animating a static 3D model (e.g., in a T or Y position) to a different position. The static 3D model is able to be captured by one or more cameras positioned around a subject. Rigging involves determining control points (e.g., body parts such as neck, elbows, knees) and with com...

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to three dimensional graphics. More specifically, the present invention relates to compression of three dimensional graphics.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A 5th generation mobile network is being developed, referred to as 5 G. The 5 G network is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including device and machines not previously connected. The 5 G network, like any network, can only handle a limited amount of data. Thus, sending large amounts of data over the network could lead to issues. Since volumetric 3D content includes large amounts of data, transmitting volumetric 3D content inefficiently could cause bandwidth issues.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]Efficient 5 G transmission of volumetric data using 3D character rigging techniques is able to be achieved by capturing volumetric data using RGB, depth or other special purpose cameras or sensors, reconstructing in 3D and then performing character ri...
