368 results about "Visual appearance" patented technology

The visual appearance of objects is given by the way in which they reflect and transmit light. The color of objects is determined by the parts of the spectrum of (incident white) light that are reflected or transmitted without being absorbed. Additional appearance attributes are based on the directional distribution of reflected (BRDF) or transmitted light (BTDF) described by attributes like glossy, shiny versus dull, matte, clear, turbid, distinct, etc.

Personalized digital meeting agent

A digital agent is pre-trained to be a digital proxy for a user. Taking on the persona (e.g., personality, mannerisms, preferences, knowledge, and in some cases, a realistic visual appearance and voice of the human), the digital agent can effectively act on behalf of the human. During a virtual meeting, the pre-trained digital agent can listen to what the team has to say, ask clarifying questions, answer questions on the human's behalf, and raise points the human would want the team to consider. Since the digital agent visually resembles, sounds like, and acts like the human, the digital agent appears much like other remote participants, thereby improving the meeting experience of the other attendees and facilitating meeting productivity in the absence of a human team member.

Diverse image inpainting using contrastive learning

An image inpainting system is described that receives an input image that includes a masked region. From the input image, the image inpainting system generates a synthesized image that depicts an object in the masked region by selecting a first code that represents a known factor characterizing a visual appearance of the object and a second code that represents an unknown factor characterizing the visual appearance of the object apart from the known factor in latent space. The input image, the first code, and the second code are provided as input to a generative adversarial network that is trained to generate the synthesized image using contrastive losses. Different synthesized images are generated from the same input image using different combinations of first and second codes, and the synthesized images are output for display.

Reference image based material retrieval

Techniques for reference image based material retrieval are described that support identification of procedural materials based on visual features of input images. A processing device, for instance, receives an input image that has a particular visual appearance. The processing device generates a histogram representation of the input image that represents a color prominence of the input image and generates a color distribution based on the color prominence. The processing device leverages a vision language model to filter candidate procedural materials by a semantic similarity to the input image. The processing device then identifies a procedural material that has a visual similarity to the particular visual appearance by comparing the color distribution for the input image to color distributions associated with the filtered candidate procedural materials. In this way, the techniques described herein support efficient retrieval of procedural materials based on color and on semantic features of the input image.

Method and system for semantic appearance transfer using splicing ViT features

Using a pre-trained and fixed Vision Transformer (ViT) model as an external semantic prior, a generator is trained given only a single structure / appearance image pair as input. Given two input images, a source structure image and a target appearance image, a new image is generated by the generator in which the structure of the source image is preserved, while the visual appearance of the target image is transferred in a semantically aware manner, so that objects in the structure image are “painted” with the visual appearance of semantically related objects in the appearance image. A self-supervised, pre-trained ViT model, such as a DINO-VIT model, is leveraged as an external semantic prior, allowing for training of the generator only on a single input image pair, without any additional information (e.g., segmentation / correspondences), and without adversarial training. The method may generate high quality results in high resolution (e.g., HD).
