ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,340,466, issued on June 24, was assigned to Varjo Technologies Oy (Helsinki, Japan).
"Multiresolution neural networks for 3D reconstruction" was invented by Mikko Strandborg (Helsinki) and Kimmo Roimela (Helsinki).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A hierarchical data structure has sets of nodes representing a 3D space of an environment at different granularity levels. Sets of neural networks at different granularity levels are trained. For a portion of an output image, a granularity level at which the portion is to be reconstructed is determined. A corresponding node is identified; the node having sets of child nodes. A set of child nodes is...
