Latest Patents

One of Minhyuk Sung's latest patents is titled "Fitting 3D primitives to a high-resolution point cloud." This invention provides systems, methods, and computer storage media for fitting 3D primitives to a 3D point cloud. In this embodiment, 3D primitives are fit to a 3D point cloud using a global primitive fitting network that evaluates the entire 3D point cloud and a local primitive fitting network that evaluates local patches of the 3D point cloud. The global primitive fitting network regresses a representation of larger (global) primitives that fit the global structure. To identify smaller 3D primitives for regions with fine detail, local patches are constructed by sampling from a pool of points likely to contain fine detail, and the local primitive fitting network regresses a representation of smaller (local) primitives that fit the local structure of each of the local patches. The global and local primitives are merged into a combined, multi-scale set of fitted primitives, and representative primitive parameters are computed for each fitted primitive.

Another significant patent is "Deformation with meta-handles of 3D meshes." This disclosure includes technologies for the deformation of 3D shapes using meta-handles. The disclosed 3D conditional generative system takes control points with biharmonic coordinates as deformation handles for a shape to train a network to learn a set of meta-handles for the shape. Further, each deformation axis of the latent space of deformation is explicitly associated with a meta-handle from a set of disentangled meta-handles, and the disentangled meta-handles factorize plausible deformations of the shape. Advantageously, an intuitive deformation of the shape may be generated by manipulating coefficients of the meta-handles, for example, via a user interface.
