    Abstract: Apparatus and method for correcting image regions following upsampling or frame interpolation. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises a machine-learning engine to evaluate at least a first image in a sequence of images generated by a real-time interactive application, the machine learning engine to responsively use previously learned data to generate an upsampled or interpolated image comprising a plurality of pixel patches. In one embodiment, each pixel patch is associated with a confidence value reflecting how accurately the pixel patch was generated by the machine learning engine. A selective ray tracing engine identifies a first pixel patch to be corrected based a first confidence value corresponding to the first pixel patch being lower than a threshold and performs ray tracing operations on a first portion of the first image to generate a corrected first pixel patch.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer readable medium for a voice-controlled camera with artificial intelligence (AI) for precise focusing. The method includes receiving, by the camera, natural language instructions from a user for focusing the camera to achieve a desired photograph. The natural language instructions are processed using natural language processing techniques to enable the camera to understand the instructions. A preview image of a user desired scene is captured by the camera. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is applied to the preview image to obtain context and to detect objects within the preview image. A depth map of the preview image is generated to obtain distances from the detected objects in the preview image to the camera. It is determined whether the detected objects in the image match the natural language instructions from the user.

    Abstract: According to various aspects, a collision avoidance method may include: receiving depth information of one or more depth imaging sensors of an unmanned aerial vehicle; determining from the depth information a first obstacle located within a first distance range and movement information associated with the first obstacle; determining from the depth information a second obstacle located within a second distance range and movement information associated with the second obstacle, the second distance range is distinct from the first distance range, determining a virtual force vector based on the determined movement information, and controlling flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the virtual force vector to avoid a collision of the unmanned aerial vehicle with the first obstacle and the second obstacle.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at pairing a host electronic device with a peripheral electronic device using visual recognition and deep learning techniques. In particular, the host device may receive an indication of a peripheral device via a camera or as a result of searching for the peripheral device (e.g., due startup of a related application or periodic scanning). The host device may also receive an image of the peripheral device (e.g., captured via the camera), and determine a visual distance to the peripheral device based on the image. The host device may also determine a signal strength of the peripheral device, and determine a signal distance to the peripheral device based on the signal strength. The host device may pair with the peripheral device if the visual distance and the signal distance are approximately equal.
