Abstract: Techniques to identify and track a pre-identified region-of-interest (ROI) through a temporal sequence of frames/images are described. In general, a down-sampled color gradient (edge map) of an arbitrary sized ROI from a prior frame may be used to generate a small template. This initial template may be used to identify a region of a new or current frame that may be overscan and used to create a current frame's edge map. By comparing the prior frame's template to the current frame's edge map, a cost value or image may be found and used to identify the current frame's ROI center. The size of the current frame's ROI may be found by varying the size of putative new ROIs and testing for their congruence with the prior frame's template. Subsequent ROI's for subsequent frames may be identified to, effectively, track an arbitrarily sized ROI through a sequence of video frames.

Abstract translation: 描述了通过帧/图像的时间序列来识别和跟踪预先识别的感兴趣区域（ROI）的技术。 通常，可以使用来自先前帧的任意大小的ROI的下采样颜色梯度（边缘图）来生成小模板。 该初始模板可用于识别可能被过扫描并用于创建当前帧的边缘图的新的或当前帧的区域。 通过将先前帧的模板与当前帧的边缘图进行比较，可以找到成本值或图像，并用于识别当前帧的ROI中心。 当前框架的投资回报率的大小可以通过改变推定的新投资回报率的大小和测试与先前框架模板的一致性来确定。 可以通过一系列视频帧来识别后续帧的后续ROI，以有效地跟踪任意大小的ROI。

Abstract: Techniques and devices for acquiring and processing timelapse video are described. The techniques use exposure bracketing to provide a plurality of images at each acquisition time. Images of the plurality are selected to minimize flicker in a timelapse video encoded from the selected images.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for synthesizing out of focus effects in digital images. Digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and other cameras having wide aperture lenses typically capture images with a shallow depth of field (SDOF). SDOF photography is often used in portrait photography, since it emphasizes the subject, while deemphasizing the background via blurring. Simulating this kind of blurring using a large depth of field (LDOF) camera may require a large amount of computational resources, i.e., in order to simulate the physical effects of using a wide aperture lens while constructing a synthetic SDOF image. However, cameras having smaller lens apertures, such as mobile phones, may not have the processing power to simulate the spreading of all background light sources in a reasonable amount of time. Thus, described herein are techniques to synthesize out-of-focus background blurring effects in a computationally-efficient manner for images captured by LDOF cameras.

Abstract: Determining disparity includes obtaining a first image of a scene and a second image of a scene, determining correspondences between one or more pixels of the first image and one or more pixels of the second image, performing local denoising on the correspondences based on at least on a strength and direction of gradient values for the one or more pixels of the first image and the one or more pixels of the second image, and generating a disparity map based on the determined correspondences and local denoising.

Abstract: An electronic device comprises circuitry implementing a depth map enhancer. The depth map enhancer obtains an initial depth map corresponding to a scene and an image of the scene. The depth map enhancer generates a refined depth map corresponding to the scene using an optimizer, the initial depth map and the image. The refined depth map includes estimated depth indicators corresponding to at least a first depth-information region, identified based at least in part on a first criterion, of the initial depth map. Input based on the refined depth map is provided to an image processing application.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to rapidly identify and track an arbitrary sized object through a temporal sequence of frames is described. The object being tracked may initially be identified via a specified or otherwise known region-of-interest (ROI). A portion of that ROI can be used to generate an initial or reference histogram and luminosity measure, metrics that may be used to identify the ROI in a subsequent frame. For a frame subsequent to the initial or reference frame, a series of putative ROIs (each having its own location and size) may be identified and the “best” of the identified ROIs selected. As used here, the term “best” simply means that the more similar two frames' histograms and luminosity measures are, the better one is with respect to the other.
