Miris secured 1 granted patent this quarter in Graphics.
The patent covers a method for encoding 3D Gaussian splatting data to enable smooth Streaming of dynamic spatial content. This technology addresses visual artifacts in real-time volumetric video applications, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive media experiences.
The Graphics patent tackles a persistent challenge in Streaming volumetric video: maintaining visual continuity across frames without inflating bandwidth requirements. Traditional 3D Gaussian splatting treats each frame independently, causing visible popping artifacts when splats appear or disappear abruptly. Miris's approach introduces temporal awareness by referencing previous splat configurations during encoding, allowing the system to preserve continuity between frames while keeping data rates manageable for real-time transmission. This segmented encoding strategy avoids the computational overhead of full 4D representations, which add expensive attributes to every splat, instead leveraging frame-to-frame relationships to achieve smoothness without sacrificing Streaming performance.
