ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 23 -- United States Patent no. 12,505,512, issued on Dec. 23, was assigned to Niantic Spatial Inc. (San Francisco).

"Regularizing neural radiance fields with denoising diffusion models" was invented by Jamie Michael Wynn (London) and Daniyar Turmukhambetov (London).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods and systems for creating accurate three-dimensional representations of environments using neural radiance fields regularized by denoising diffusion models are disclosed. Receiving a plurality of images representing an environment, a scene representation model is trained to create the three-dimensional model of the environment. Using these images, the virtual rays are sampl...
