ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,626,464, issued on May 12, was assigned to Adobe Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Progressively generating fine polygon meshes" was invented by Vladimir Kim (Seattle), Yun-Chun Chen (Toronto), Noam Aigerman (San Francisco) and Alec Jacobson (Toronto).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In implementation of techniques for progressively generating fine polygon meshes, a computing device implements a mesh progression system to receive a coarse polygon mesh. The mesh progression system generates a fine polygon mesh that has a higher level of resolution than the coarse polygon mesh by decoding the coarse polygon mesh using a machine learning model. The mes...
