ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,482,056, issued on Nov. 25, was assigned to ADOBE INC. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Local deformation for interactive shape edititing" was invented by Kevin John Wampler (Seattle) and Honglin Chen (San Jose, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Systems and methods provide local deformation for shapes. In accordance with some aspects, input to deform a shape is received. The shape comprises a plurality of vertices with each vertex having a vertex position. Based on the input, deformed vertex positions are determined for the plurality of vertices by minimizing an energy function that includes an elastic energy term and a regularization term that ...
