Latest Patents
One of Dejan's latest patents is titled "Inverse Path Tracing for Material and Lighting Estimation." In this invention, a computing system accesses a three-dimensional (3D) model of an environment, which includes a virtual representation of an object. The system captures an image of the object using a camera from a specific pose. It also accesses light source parameters associated with a virtual representation of a light source in the environment. The system then renders pixels related to the virtual object based on these light source parameters, viewed from the camera's perspective. By comparing the rendered pixels to the actual image, the system updates the light source parameters for improved accuracy.
Another patent under the same title focuses on material properties. In this embodiment, the computing system accesses material parameters for the virtual representation of the object. It renders pixels based on these material parameters and determines updated material properties by comparing the rendered pixels to the actual image of the object. This innovative approach enhances the realism of virtual representations in various applications.
