Abstract:
Systems and methods for local augmented reality (AR) tracking of an AR object are disclosed. In one example embodiment a device captures a series of video image frames. A user input is received at the device associating a first portion of a first image of the video image frames with an AR sticker object and a target. A first target template is generated to track the target across frames of the video image frames. In some embodiments, global tracking based on a determination that the target is outside a boundary area is used. The global tracking comprises using a global tracking template for tracking movement in the video image frames captured following the determination that the target is outside the boundary area. When the global tracking determines that the target is within the boundary area, local tracking is resumed along with presentation of the AR sticker object on an output display of the device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for image upscaling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a low frequency band image intermediate is obtained from an input image. The input image is upsampled by a scale factor to obtain an upsampled image intermediate. A result image is estimated based at least in part on the upsampled image intermediate, the low frequency band image intermediate, and the input image, wherein the input image is of a smaller scale than the result image.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are presented to achieve crosstalk-free all-to-all exchange in optical multistage self-routing networks. The approach involves the computation of a Latin square and the subsequent decomposition of its rows to semi-permutations. Processors may then send messages to other processors in accord with these semi-permutations.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for modeling facial representations using image segmentation with a client device. The systems and methods receive an image depicting a face, detect at least a portion of the face within the image, and identify a set of facial features within the portion of the face. The systems and methods generate a descriptor function representing the set of facial features, fit object functions of the descriptor function, identify an identification probability for each facial feature, and assign an identification to each facial feature.
Abstract:
A method for organizing individual collections of images or videos captured for the same event by different cameras into a master collection, wherein each individual collection forms a media stream in chronological order, includes using a processor to provide the following steps: extracting image features for each image or video of the media stream of each individual collection; analyzing the extracted features to align the media streams to form a master stream in chronological order of the event over a common timeline; producing a master collection of images or videos of the event from the master stream by removing redundant images or videos; and storing, displaying or transmitting the master collection.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for denoising and artifact removal in image upscaling are disclosed. In one embodiment, a low frequency band image intermediate is obtained from an input image. An upsampled image intermediate is obtained from the input image by upsampling. A result image is estimated, based at least in part on the upsampled image intermediate, the low frequency band image intermediate, and the input image. The input image is of a smaller scale than the result image. The estimating the result image further includes eliminating from the result image noise that is present in the input image.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to classify an input image by determining a spatial-pyramid image representation based on sparse coding; determining a descriptor for each interest point in the input image; encoding the descriptor; and applying max pooling to form the spatial pyramid representation of images.
Abstract:
A method for organizing and annotating individual collections of images or videos captured for the same event by different cameras into a master collection, wherein each individual collection forms a media stream in chronological order, includes using a processor to provide the following steps: extracting image features for each image or video of the media stream of each individual collection; analyzing the extracted features to align the media streams in chronological order of the event over a common timeline; transferring annotation from one individual collection to another individual collection based on alignment of the media streams; and storing, displaying or transmitting the transferred annotation.
Abstract:
A method for organizing individual collections of images or videos captured for the same event by different cameras into a master collection, wherein each individual collection forms a media stream in chronological order. A processor for extracting image features for each image or video of the media stream of each collection; constructing a graph based on the extracted features to link the images or videos from the two media streams; finding on the graph at least a pair of images or videos, each from one of the two media streams, that corresponds to correlated captured content; aligning the remaining images or videos in response to the aligned pair so that the all images or videos from the two media streams are aligned over a common timeline; and producing a master stream in chronological order of the event over a common timeline by merging the aligned individual.
