Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein may use various sensors to infer a frame of reference for a hand-held device. In fact, with various inertial clues from accelerometer, gyrometer, and other instruments that report their states in real time, it is possible to track a Frenet frame of the device in real time to provide an instantaneous (or continuous) 3D frame-of-reference. In addition to—or in place of—calculating this instantaneous (or continuous) frame of reference, the position of a user's head may either be inferred or calculated directly by using one or more of a device's optical sensors, e.g., an optical camera, infrared camera, laser, etc. With knowledge of the 3D frame-of-reference for the display and/or knowledge of the position of the user's head, more realistic virtual 3D depictions of the graphical objects on the device's display may be created—and interacted with—by the user.

Abstract: Techniques for registering images based on an identified region of interest (ROI) are described. In general, the disclosed techniques identify a region of ROI within an image and assign areas within the image corresponding to those regions more importance during the registration process. More particularly, the disclosed techniques may employ user-input or image content information to identify the ROI. Once identified, features within the ROI may be given more weight or significance during registration operations than other areas of the image having high-feature content but which are not as important to the individual capturing the image.
Abstract translation: 描述了基于所识别的感兴趣区域（ROI）来注册图像的技术。 通常，所公开的技术识别图像内的ROI的区域，并且在注册过程期间分配对应于那些区域的图像中的区域更重要。 更具体地，所公开的技术可以采用用户输入或图像内容信息来识别ROI。 一旦被识别，ROI中的特征可以在注册操作期间比具有高特征内容的图像的其他区域给予更多的权重或重要性，但对于捕获图像的个体而言并不重要。

Abstract: Special blend operations for wide area-of-view image generation utilizing a “floating auto exposure” scheme are described. Pixel values in the two images being stitched together are blended within a transition band around a “seam.” identified in the overlap region between the images after changes in exposure and/or color saturation are accounted for. In some embodiments, changes in exposure and/or color saturation are accounted for through the use of one or more exposure mapping curves, the selection and use of which are based, at least in part, on a determined “Exposure Ratio” value, i.e., the amount that the camera's exposure settings have deviated from their initial capture settings. In other embodiments, the Exposure Ratio value is also used to determine regions along the seam where either: alpha blending, Poisson blending—or a combination of the two—should be used to blend in the transitional areas on each side of the seam.
Abstract translation: 描述利用“浮动自动曝光”方案的广视野图像生成的特殊混合操作。 缝合在一起的两个图像中的像素值被混合在围绕在曝光和/或色彩饱和度变化之后的图像之间的重叠区域中识别的“接缝”周围的过渡带内。 在一些实施方案中，通过使用一个或多个暴露映射曲线来考虑暴露和/或色彩饱和度的变化，其选择和使用至少部分地基于确定的“曝光比”值，即 相机曝光设置的偏移量与其初始拍摄设置有偏差。 在其他实施例中，曝光比值也用于确定沿着接缝的区域，其中：α混合，泊松混合或两者的组合应当用于在接缝的每一侧上的过渡区域中混合。

Abstract: Lens flare mitigation techniques determine which pixels in images of a sequence of images are likely to be pixels affected by lens flare. Once the lens flare areas of the images are determined, unwanted lens flare effects may be mitigated by various approaches, including reducing border artifacts along a seam between successive images, discarding entire images of the sequence that contain lens flare areas, and using tone-mapping to reduce the visibility of lens flare.
