20110046483 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR IMAGE GUIDED ABLATION - The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for image guided ablation. One system for image guided ablation includes an ultrasound transducer for producing a real-time ultrasound image of a target volume and of surrounding tissue. The system further includes an ablation probe for ablating the target volume. The system further includes a display for displaying an image to guide positioning of the ablation probe during ablation of the target volume. The system further includes at least one tracker for tracking position and orientation of the ablation probe during the ablation of the target volume. The system further includes a rendering and display module for receiving a pre-ablation image of the target volume and for displaying a combined image on the display, where the combined image includes a motion tracked, rendered image of the ablation probe and an equally motion tracked real-time ultrasound image registered with the pre-ablation image. | 02-24-2011 |
20120038739 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR SHADER-LAMPS BASED PHYSICAL AVATARS OF REAL AND VIRTUAL PEOPLE - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for shader lamps-based avatars of real and virtual people are disclosed. According to one method, shader lamps-based avatars of real and virtual objects are displayed on physical target objects. The method includes obtaining visual information of a source object and generating at least a first data set of pixels representing a texture image of the source object. At least one of a size, shape, position, and orientation of a | 02-16-2012 |
20120062565 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR GENERATING AUTOSTEREO THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIEWS OF A SCENE FOR A PLURALITY OF VIEWPOINTS USING A PSEUDO-RANDOM HOLE BARRIER - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for generating autostereo three-dimensional views of a scene for a plurality of viewpoints are disclosed. According to one system, a display is configured to display images from plural different viewpoints using a barrier located in front of the display, where the barrier has a pseudo-random arrangement of light ports through which images on the display are viewable. A renderer coupled to the display simultaneously renders images from the different viewpoints such that pixels that should appear differently from the different viewpoints are displayed in a predetermined manner. The pseudo-random arrangement of the light ports in the barrier smoothes interference between the different viewpoints as perceived by viewers located at the different viewpoints. | 03-15-2012 |
20150138069 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR UNIFIED SCENE ACQUISITION AND POSE TRACKING IN A WEARABLE DISPLAY - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for unified scene acquisition and pose tracking in a wearable display are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for unified scene acquisition and pose tracking in a wearable display includes a wearable frame configured to be worn by a user. Mounted on the frame are: at least one sensor for acquiring scene information for a real scene proximate to the user, the scene information including images and depth information; a pose tracker for estimating the user's head pose based on the acquired scene information; a rendering unit for generating a virtual reality (VR) image based on the acquired scene information and estimated head pose; and at least one display for displaying to the user a combination of the generated VR image and the scene proximate to the user. | 05-21-2015 |
20150178973 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR UTILIZING SYNTHETIC ANIMATRONICS - Methods, systems, and computer readable media for utilizing synthetic animatronics are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for synthetic animatronics includes providing a display surface having different regions that accommodate different positions or deformations of a subject, mapping images of the subject to the different regions on the display surface, and displaying the mapped images on the different regions of the display surface at different times in accordance with a desired animation of the subject. | 06-25-2015 |
20150279118 | Scanning and Tracking Dynamic Objects with Depth Cameras - A video conference server receives a plurality of video frames including a current frame and at least one previous frame. Each of the video frames includes a corresponding image and a corresponding depth map. The server produces a directional distance function (DDF) field that represents an area surrounding a target surface of the object captured in the current frame. A forward transformation is generated that modifies the reference surface to align with the target surface. Using at least a portion of the forward transformation, a backward transformation is calculated that modifies the target surface of the current frame to align with the reference surface. The backward transformation is then applied to the DDF to generate a transformed DDF. The server updates the reference model with the transformed DDF and transmits data for the updated reference model to enable a representation of the object to be produced at a remote location. | 10-01-2015 |
