Summary

The European Patent Office published Samsung Electronics' patent application EP4384988A1 for a method and apparatus enabling three-dimensional scene reconstruction using deep learning and dense depth mapping. The invention covers neural network-based processing for generating depth maps from visual data, with applications in AR/VR and computer vision. The patent is designated for all 38 EPO member states including Germany, France, UK, and other EU nations.

What changed

EPO published Samsung's patent application EP4384988A1, filed by inventors Xiong Yingen and Peri Christopher Anthony, covering a method and apparatus for three-dimensional scene reconstruction using deep learning and dense depth mapping. The invention relates to neural network architectures (G06N 3/0464) for processing image data to generate 3D scene representations and associated depth information, with applications in video systems (H04N 13/) and computer graphics (G06T 7/).

This is a patent publication notice with no immediate compliance requirements for third parties. Technology companies, AI developers, and automotive/semiconductor firms working in 3D reconstruction, AR/VR, autonomous systems, or computer vision should review this patent to assess potential licensing needs or freedom-to-operate implications for their own product development. No action is required at this time; this represents informational tracking of intellectual property rather than regulatory obligation.
