Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for UV packing. The system includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to processors. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to perform a number of operations. One operation is to present a packing map using a graphical user interface including a selection tool. Another operation is to present a first set of one or more target objects using the graphical user interface. Individual ones of the first set include one or more features. One operation is to receive a first user input. Another operation is to, based on the first user input and the one or more features corresponding to the individual ones of the first set, pack the first set into a packing map.

Background

SUMMARY

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems, methods, devices, and apparatus capable of UV packing, including, for example, packing maps, one or more target objects, as well as interconnected processors and/or circuitry, to present the packing map and the one or more target objects and to receive user input.

In accordance with the technology described herein, a system for UV packing is disclosed. The system includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to processors. The non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to perform a number of operations. One such operation is to present a packing map using a graphical user interface including a selection tool. Another such operation is to present a first set of one or more target objects using the graphical user interface. Individual ones of the first set include one or more features. Yet another operation is to receive a first user input. Another such operation is to, based on the first user input and the one or more features corresponding to the individual ones of the first set, pack the first set into a packing map.

In embodiments, the first user input includes selecting and customizing the one or more features for packing the first set of one or more target objects.

In embodiments, the first user input includes receiving a selection tool user input to move a selection tool over a first location in the pac

Claims

1. A system for UV packing, the system comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to processors and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to: present a packing map using a graphical user interface comprising a selection tool; present a first set of one or more target objects using the graphical user interface, wherein individual ones of the first set comprise one or more features; receive a first user input; and based on the first user input and the one or more features corresponding to the individual ones of the first set, pack the first set into a packing map. 10. A computer-implemented method for UV packing, the method comprising: presenting a first set of one or more target objects using a graphical user interface in a first space, wherein individual ones of the first set of one or more target objects comprise one or more features; presenting a packing map using the graphical user interface comprising a selection tool; receiving a first user input; and based on the user input and the one or more features corresponding to the individual ones of the first set, packing the first set of one or more target objects into a packing map. 19. A system for UV packing, the system comprising: a graphical user interface comprising a UV map, a selection tool, and one or more objects; a non-transitory computer-readable medium operatively coupled to processors and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to: present the one or more objects using the graphical user interface in the UV map, wherein individual ones of the one or more objects comprise one or more features; receive selections from the one or more objects to generate a first set of one or more target objects; present a packing map using the graphical user interface comprising the selection tool; receive a first user input; and based on the first user input and the one or more features corresponding to the individual ones of the first set, pack the first set into the UV map.
