ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,682,669, issued on July 14.

"System and method for labeling 2D electro-optical (EO) data in 3D model via neural radiance fields and simulators" was invented by Joseph Mouawad (El Cajon, Calif.), David Elliott (Melbourne, Fla.), Robert Noneman (Washington) and Joy Zhang (Los Angeles).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The method and system for labeling 2D data using a 3D model provides processes that include generating Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) of a desired scene, converting the NeRF into a mesh, rendering images of the mesh in a simulator from a user-chosen new camera pose including position and orientation, labeling the newly rendered im...
