Interactive image generation platform with user-modifiable features
The patent US12056812B2 describes a computer program product designed to enhance the imaging process within a studio environment. The core functionality includes guiding the placement of objects, adjusting various components of the studio, and activating sets of equipment to capture images of a scene. The resulting images are utilized to create a flexible and interactive output image that features modifiable elements based on user preferences. This output image is characterized as a two-dimensional representation with partial three-dimensional capabilities, achieving a quality comparable to that produced by physically based rendering techniques.
The claims further detail specific functionalities, such as the use of object placement templates, automatic adjustments of lighting, cameras, and turntables, and the selective activation of lighting panels and cameras. The system is capable of capturing images under varying conditions, including different lighting and camera poses. Additionally, it can operate as a controller for the imaging studio, with the potential for remote operation. The captured images can be processed using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, allowing for advanced image generation tailored to specific scene types. The system also supports user interface options for configurable settings and can upload images for cloud-based processing.
