摘要： A block-based texture synthesis technique synthesizes an image texture that matches the textural appearance of an image texture sample. The synthesis first selects blocks of texture information from the image texture sample and places or pastes the selected blocks in different locations in each tile of the tiled image texture according to a chaos transform. The image texture sample in each tile is the background on which the selected blocks are placed. Each block contains sufficient texture information such that the transformed texture retains the continuity of visual properties, such as shape, size, and color, of the image texture sample. The synthesis can also overlay image texture samples to accomplish the synthesis.

摘要： A structure that can be used to efficiently represent a virtual texture is disclosed. In one embodiment, a machine-readable medium has such a structure stored thereon, and includes a predetermined sample texture, and a predetermined global structure upon which the predetermined sample texture is to be overlaid in a predetermined manner. For example, a specific global structure is disclosed that includes a tiling encoding that describes a structure of a tiling, and a random block sequence that describes a predetermined number of random blocks within the sample texture that are to be pasted over the tiling to actualize the virtual texture. In such an instance, the sequence also describes locations where the blocks are to be pasted over the tiling. Also disclosed is that the structure can in some embodiments be utilized in texturing, such as procedural texturing.

摘要： The automated social networking graph mining and visualization technique described herein mines social connections and allows creation of a social networking graph from general (not necessarily social-application specific) Web pages. The technique uses the distances between a person's/entity's name and related people's/entities names on one or more Web pages to determine connections between people/entities and the strengths of the connections. In one embodiment, the technique lays out these connections, and then clusters them, in a 2-D layout of a social networking graph that represents the Web connection strengths among the related people's or entities' names, by using a force-directed model.

摘要： Multiple schemes and techniques for facilitating presentations with an interactive application are described. For example, an interactive application provides a console view overlay for integrating multiple productivity applications into a graphical user interface (GUI) window. An interactive application can also share a selected display portion of the console view overlay with other interactive applications. As another example, presenters and other audience members can draw on the selected display portion being shared, and the drawn graphics are synchronously displayed by the other interactive applications. Interactive applications, as directed by their users, can join various member groups and specific presentations thereof. Moreover, a user may share content in accordance with membership grouping.

摘要： Embodiments that provide cartoon personalization are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, cartoon personalization includes selecting a face image having a pose orientation that substantially matches an original pose orientation of a character in a cartoon image. The method also includes replacing a face of the character in the cartoon image with the face image. The method further includes blending the face image with a remainder of the character in the cartoon image.

摘要： A user may perform an image search on an object shown in an image. The user may use a mobile device to display an image. In response to displaying the image, the client device may send the image to a visual search system for image segmentation. Upon receiving a segmented image from the visual search system, the client device may display the segmented image to the user who may select one or more segments including an object of interest to instantiate a search. The visual search system may formulate a search query based on the one or more selected segments and perform a search using the search query. The visual search system may then return search results to the client device for display to the user.

摘要： A face cartooning system is described. In one implementation, the system generates an attractive cartoon face or graphic of a user's facial image. The system extracts facial features separately and applies pixel-based techniques customized to each facial feature. The style of cartoon face achieved resembles the likeness of the user more than cartoons generated by conventional vector-based cartooning techniques. The cartoon faces thus achieved provide an attractive facial appearance and thus have wide applicability in art, gaming, and messaging applications in which a pleasing degree of realism is desirable without exaggerated comedy or caricature.

摘要： A non-linear beam tracing technique that supports full non-linear beam tracing effects including multiple reflections and refractions for computer graphics applications. The technique introduces non-linear beam tracing to render non-linear ray tracing effects such as curved mirror reflection, refraction, caustics, and shadows. Beams are allowed to be non-linear where rays within the same beam are not parallel or do not intersect at a single point. Such is the case when a primary beam bounces off of a surface and spawns one or more secondary rays or beams. Secondary beams can be rendered in a similar manner to primary rays or beams via polygon streaming. Beyond smooth ray bundles, the technique can also be applied to incoherent ray bundles which is useful for rendering bump mapped surfaces.
