296 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.

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.
