    Abstract: Systems and methods for compressing a depthmap are provided. In some aspects, a system includes an encoding module configured to group a plurality of pixels of a depthmap. Each grouped pixel of the depthmap includes a depth value and is associated with an optic ray aligned with a camera capturing the depthmap. Each of the plurality of depth values is within a predetermined offset from one another. The encoding module is further configured to generate a primitive based on the grouped plurality of pixels. The primitive includes an identification value. Each of the plurality of optic rays intersects a corresponding portion of the primitive. The encoding module is further configured to transform the depthmap based on the primitive. Each grouped pixel of the transformed depthmap includes the identification value. The system also includes a compression module configured to compress the transformed depthmap.

    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to providing depth-of-field renderings. In some implementations, a method includes linearizing an image. The method further includes partitioning a depth map of the image into a plurality of depth intervals. The method further includes blurring pixels associated with each depth interval, where the pixels of each depth interval are blurred separately from the pixels of the other depth intervals. The method further includes applying at least one camera response function to the image after the pixels of the plurality of depth intervals are blurred.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for defining a set of images based on captured images, receiving a viewing direction associated with a user of a virtual reality (VR) head mounted display, receiving an indication of a change in the viewing direction. The methods further include configuring, a re-projection of a portion of the set of images, the re-projection based at least in part on the changed viewing direction and a field of view associated with the captured images, and converting the portion from a spherical perspective projection into a planar perspective projection, rendering by the computing device and for display in the VR head mounted display, an updated view based on the re-projection, the updated view configured to correct distortion and provide stereo parallax in the portion, and providing, to the head mounted display, the updated view including a stereo panoramic scene corresponding to the changed viewing direction.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to capturing panoramic images using a computing device. For example, the computing device may record a set of video frames and tracking features each including one or more features that appear in two or more video frames of the set of video frames within the set of video frames may be determined. A set of frame-based features based on the displacement of the tracking features between two or more video frames of the set of video frames may be determined by the computing device. A set of historical feature values based on the set of frame-based features may also be determined by the computing device. The computing device may determine then whether a user is attempting to capture a panoramic image based on the set of historical feature values. In response, the computing device may capture a panoramic image.
