ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 15 -- United States Patent no. 12,737,956, issued on Sept. 15, was assigned to NVIDIA Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Scene-aware synthetic human motion generation using neural networks" was invented by Hongwei Yi (Tubingen, Germany), Davis Rempe (Redwood City, Calif.), Xue Bin Peng (Vancouver, Canada) and Sanja Fidler (Toronto).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A motion diffusion model may be pre-trained on motion data, and a scene-aware component (e.g., one or more layers of a neural network) may be connected and used to extract and inject a representation of scene information into the pre-trained motion diffusion model. For example, to predict orientations of joint waypoin...
