Latest Patents

Thuerey is associated with 1 patent: “Learning of Garment Deformations in a Collision-Free Space.” The invention describes systems and methods that learn garment deformations designed to be essentially collision-free. It combines a diffused volumetric representation of the body with a garment-model subspace that provides a differentiable, canonical configuration. This subspace supports regression of garment deformation and dynamics, enabling fast predictions with reduced inference complexity. The approach aims to produce garments with substantial spatial and temporal detail and higher quality than previously achievable.
