ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 7 -- United States Patent no. 12,597,209, issued on April 7, was assigned to Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (San Mateo, Calif.).

"Using polygon mesh render composites during neural radiance field (NeRF) generation" was invented by Joseph Logan Olson (Glendale, Calif.) and Nasir Mohammad Khalid (Montreal).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A text-to-3D machine learning (ML) model is trained by rendering a pre-existing 3D model along with an associated depth map using plural camera settings and rendering a neural radiance field (NeRF) along with an associated depth map using the plural camera settings used in rendering the 3D model. A composite is established from the dept...
