Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus provide the ability to globally register point cloud scans. A first and a second three-dimensional (3D) point cloud are acquired. The point clouds have a subset of points in common and there is no prior knowledge on an alignment between the point clouds. Particular points that are likely to be identified in the other point cloud are detected. Information about a normal of each of the detected particular points is retrieved. A descriptor (that only describes 3D information) is built on each of the detected particular points. Matching pairs of descriptors are determined. Rigid transformation hypotheses are estimated (based on the matching pairs) and represent a transformation. The hypotheses are accumulated into a fitted space, selected based on density, and validated based on a scoring. One of the hypotheses is then selected as a registration.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for determining a location of an object that is being manipulated or processed by a robot. The technique includes capturing a digital image of the object while the object is disposed by the robot within an imaging space, wherein the digital image includes a direct view of the object and a reflected view of the object, detecting a visible feature of the object in the direct view and the visible feature of the object in the reflected view, and computing a first location of the visible feature in a first direction based on a position of the visible feature in the direct view. The technique further includes computing a second location of the visible feature in a second direction based on a position of the visible feature in the reflected view and causing the robot to move the object to a processing station based at least in part on the first location and the second location.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for creating and customizing graphical models. In one embodiment, a design application receives a morphological attractor created from the same mesh as one or more inheritance-based character generation ancestor models. Upon receiving the morphological attractor, the design application may use the attractor to align and transform the ancestor models to create a new set of ancestor models which resemble the attractor. The new set of ancestor models is referred to herein as being in the “genetic space” of the attractor. A user may then create child character models in this same genetic space by, globally or locally, blending two or more of the new ancestor models.

Abstract: A single model engine for receiving and processing a 3D surface model representing the surface of a 3D object, the 3D surface model comprising at least two distinct surface regions associated with at least two different materials. The single model engine automatically produce a set of interior sheets inside the 3D surface model, the set of interior sheets defining interior boundaries and interior volumes of the different materials for the 3D object. The single model engine combines the 3D surface model with the set of interior sheets to produce a single unified model that represents the surface and interior volumes of the 3D object that comprise a single solid object having at least two different materials. At print time, the single model engine performs an export technique to produce an exportable form of the single unified model that can be received and printed by a 3D printer.

Abstract: Information regarding application usage on an actor device may be provided through activity notifications and activity reports. An activity notification describing current application activity on an actor device is sent, via wireless connection, to an observer device which displays the activity notification. Activity notifications provide different granularity levels of information based on a received level selection or based on a distance (proximity) between the actor device and the observer device. An activity report representing the history of application usage on an actor device may be displayed on the actor device. For example, the activity report may be triggered to by displayed when the actor device is placed flat. The activity report provides a graphical representation of the application usage on the actor device for a predetermined time period of prior usage. The graphical representation may comprise a plurality of stripes, each stripe representing a particular application or application type.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture provide the ability to seamlessly transfer a texture. An image that has an object to be concealed is acquired. A conceal tool is activated. A source patch of a first collection of pixels within the image is defined. A target patch of a second collection of pixels within the image is defined and located over the object to be concealed. The source patch is mapped onto the target patch using a transformation (T). A contrast between the source patch and the target patch along a boundary of the source patch and the target patch is measured. A color one of the one or more pixels in the second collection is accepted/rejected based on the contrast.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer program product provide the ability to utilize a degree of freedom (DOF) for a construction. In a preparation phase, a graph structure is constructed from a construction model that transforms construction primitives into graph primitives. In a search phase, all compact sub-graphs of the graph structure are identified. In a counting phase, a DOF is calculated for each compact sub-graph and adjusted based on interactions between the compact sub-graphs. In an internal DOF searching phase, an internal DOF is computed for each compact sub-graph and used to determine and solve overconstrained sub-graphs. A determination regarding whether a structure of the construction model can be modified based on the DOF and internal DOF is output.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product provide the ability to simulate an electronic circuit. An analog model represents an analog circuit and is wrapped to serve as a module in an event based simulator. The module has a first start state and an input (controlled by the event based simulator). Upon a change in a value of the input, the analog model shows a transient behavior. The value of the input is changed to begin simulating the electronic circuit. In response to the changing of the value, if not already cached, the transient behavior is cached with a key consisting of a combination of the first start state and the value of the input. If already cached, the transient behavior is retrieved from the cache. The simulation of the circuit is output based on the cached transient behavior.
