摘要： A speech processing system modifies various aspects of input speech according to a user-selected one of various preprogrammed voice fonts. Initially, the speech converter receives a formants signal representing an input speech signal and a pitch signal representing the input signal's fundamental frequency. One or both of the following may also be received: a voicing signal comprising an indication of whether the input speech signal is voiced, unvoiced, or mixed, and/or a gain signal representing the input speech signal's energy. The speech converter also receives user selection of one of multiple preprogrammed voice fonts, each specifying a manner of modifying one or more of the received signals (i.e., formants, voicing, pitch, gain). The speech converter modifies at least one of the formants, voicing, pitch, and/or gain signals as specified by the selected voice font.

摘要： Embodiments include methods and systems which determine pixel displacement between frames based on a respective weighting-value for each pixel or a group of pixels. The weighting-values provide an indication as to which pixels are more pertinent to optical flow computations. Computational resources and effort can be focused on pixels with higher weights, which are generally more pertinent to optical flow determinations.

摘要： A three dimensional (3D) mixed reality system combines a real 3D image or video, captured by a 3D camera for example, with a virtual 3D image rendered by a computer or other machine to render a 3D mixed-reality image or video. A 3D camera can acquire two separate images (a left and a right) of a common scene, and superimpose the two separate images to create a real image with a 3D depth effect. The 3D mixed-reality system can determine a distance to a zero disparity plane for the real 3D image, determine one or more parameters for a projection matrix based on the distance to the zero disparity plane, render a virtual 3D object based on the projection matrix, combine the real image and the virtual 3D object to generate a mixed-reality 3D image.

摘要： In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a gesture-based user interface. For example, according to some aspects of the disclosure, a user interface generally includes a camera and a computing device that identifies and tracks the motion of one or more fingertips of a user. In some examples, the user interface is configured to identify predefined gestures (e.g., patterns of motion) associated with certain motions of the user's fingertips. In another example, the user interface is configured to identify hand postures (e.g., patterns of showing up of fingertips). Accordingly, the user can interact with the computing device by performing the gestures.

摘要： This disclosure describes an apparatus, such as a wireless communication device, that applies a direct evaluation technique to render triangles for the 3D graphical environment. The apparatus includes a rendering engine that defines a rectangular area of pixels, referred to as a bounding box, that bounds the area to be rendered. The rendering engine evaluates coordinates associated with the pixels of the rectangular area to selectively render those pixels that fall within the triangular area. The direct evaluation triangle rendering algorithm may require fewer complex operations than the more computationally intensive interpolation process employed by other systems. As a result, the apparatus may present a 3D graphical environment while preserving as much as possible the available power.

摘要： In a particular illustrative embodiment, a method of determining a viewpoint of a person based on skin color area and face area is disclosed. The method includes receiving image data corresponding to an image captured by a camera, the image including at least one object to be displayed at a device coupled to the camera. The method further includes determining a viewpoint of the person relative to a display of the device coupled to the camera. The viewpoint of the person may be determined by determining a face area of the person based on a determined skin color area of the person and tracking a face location of the person based on the face area. One or more objects displayed at the display may be moved in response to the determined viewpoint of the person.
