IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2019-05-02
Abstract: A method of generating a dataset for training a system to generate data of a polygonal mesh by adapting data of an input polygonal mesh comprises obtaining data of a plurality of reference polygonal meshes for use in rendering a content with each reference polygonal mesh comprising a plurality of vertices for representing a surface in the content. For each reference polygonal mesh, a vertex count is determined, and a second polygonal mesh generated by adding a predetermined number of vertices to the reference polygonal mesh. A representation of the second polygonal mesh is then compared with a representation of the reference polygonal mesh and a first value of a quality parameter is assigned to the reference polygonal mesh and a second value of the quality parameter is assigned to the second polygonal mesh based on the result of the comparison where the value of the quality parameter for a given polygonal mesh is indicative of a degree of difference between a representation of the given polygonal mesh and a representation of the reference polygonal mesh. A data set comprising data indicative of the vertex count for the reference and second polygonal meshes and the value of the quality parameters for the reference and second is then generated. A second invention is also claim that use this dataset to train a system to learn a function for adapting data of a polygonal mesh to generate data of an output polygonal mesh.

Title: System for watermarking time, place and identity
Inventor: RICHARD HOPTROFF
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2019-05-30
Abstract: A beacon, having an internal clock synchronised to a common time source receives, from a remote device, a watermark request for an event document held at the remote device, where the request includes a hash of the event document. In response to the request, based on its internal clock, the beacon timestamps the request receipt and creates a watermark including the time stamp and the hash of the event document received from the remote device in the watermark request. The watermark is logged to a ledger at the beacon and a hash code of the watermark is generated and returned to the remote device with the timestamp for the request receipt. In a variation, in response to a watermark request, a measure of network latency and or identities of intermediate network nodes for a route between the beacon and the remote device is recorded and an estimated location for the remote device is made based on latency measurements or node identities. In this variant the watermark additionally includes estimated location and returning the watermark hash, location estimates and request receipt timestamp to the remote device. Time, place and identity metadata is created and recorded for the event document.
