Abstract: A multi-resolution color image segmentation algorithm which takes advantage of gradient information in an adaptive and progressive framework is described. A gradient-based segmentation method is initiated with a dyadic wavelet decomposition scheme of an arbitrary input image, accompanied by a vector gradient calculation of its color converted counterpart. The resultant gradient map is used to automatically and adaptively generate thresholds for segregating regions of varying gradient densities, at different resolution levels of the input image pyramid. In combination with a confidence map and non-linear spatial filtering techniques, regions of high confidence are passed from one resolution level to another until the final segmentation at highest (original) resolution is achieved.

Abstract: A multimedia capture system includes a plurality of imaging systems and one or more detection systems. The plurality of imaging systems capture image areas of a scene from at least partially different locations. The one or more detection systems determine a relative position of each of the plurality of imaging systems with respect to the different locations of the scene from where the image areas are captured. The relative position of each of the plurality of imaging systems and the captured image areas are used to generate a multimedia presentation of the scene. The capture system may be worn by an individual or may be on a stationary or mobile support.

Abstract: A multimedia presentation system includes a plurality of display systems and at least one control system. The plurality of display systems output image areas of a multimedia presentation to at least partially different locations of a display environment. The control system adjusts the output of the image areas from the plurality of display systems to conform to the display environment. The display and capture systems may be wearable, mobile or adjustable and can react to any environment. Editing environments allow the same show to be easily relinked to a new display configuration without any need for extensive user-driven layout revision. Virtual display configurations are simulated and presented on other displays.
