摘要： Free viewpoint video of a scene is generated and presented to a user. An arrangement of sensors generates streams of sensor data each of which represents the scene from a different geometric perspective. The sensor data streams are calibrated. A scene proxy is generated from the calibrated sensor data streams. The scene proxy geometrically describes the scene as a function of time and includes one or more types of geometric proxy data which is matched to a first set of current pipeline conditions in order to maximize the photo-realism of the free viewpoint video resulting from the scene proxy at each point in time. A current synthetic viewpoint of the scene is generated from the scene proxy. This viewpoint generation maximizes the photo-realism of the current synthetic viewpoint based upon a second set of current pipeline conditions. The current synthetic viewpoint is displayed.

摘要： Cloud based FVV streaming technique embodiments presented herein generally employ a cloud based FVV pipeline to create, render and transmit FVV frames depicting a captured scene as would be viewed from a current synthetic viewpoint selected by an end user and received from a client computing device. The FVV frames use a similar level of bandwidth as a conventional streaming movie would consume. To change viewpoints, a new viewpoint is sent from the client to the cloud, and a new streaming movie is initiated from the new viewpoint. Frames associated with that viewpoint are created, rendered and transmitted to the client until a new viewpoint request is received.

摘要： A “Dynamic High Definition Bubble Framework” allows local clients to display and navigate FVV of complex multi-resolution and multi-viewpoint scenes while reducing computational overhead and bandwidth for rendering and/or transmitting the FVV. Generally, the FVV is presented to the user as a broad area from some distance away. Then, as the user zooms in or changes viewpoints, one or more areas of the overall area are provided in higher definition or fidelity. Therefore, rather than capturing and providing high definition everywhere (at high computational and bandwidth costs), the Dynamic High Definition Bubble Framework captures one or more “bubbles” or volumetric regions in higher definition in locations where it is believed that the user will be most interested. This information is then provided to the client to allow individual clients to navigate and zoom different regions of the FVV during playback without losing fidelity or resolution in the zoomed areas.

摘要： Video of a scene is generated and presented to a user. A stream of mesh models of the scene and a corresponding stream of mesh texture maps are generated from one or more streams of sensor data that represent the scene. Each of the mesh models includes a collection of faces, and each of the mesh texture maps defines texture data for one or more points on the faces. Each of the mesh models is broken down into convex sections. Each of the convex sections is surrounded with a three-dimensional hull. The texture data that is associated with each of the faces in the convex section is projected onto the three-dimensional hull, and a hull texture map for the convex section is produced.

摘要： Consistent tessellation via topology-aware surface tracking is provided in which a series of meshes is approximated by taking one or more meshes from the series and calculating a transformation field to transform the keyframe mesh into each mesh of the series, and substituting the transformed keyframe meshes for the original meshes. The keyframe mesh may be selected advisedly based upon a scoring metric. An error measurement on the transformed keyframe exceeding tolerance or threshold may suggest another keyframe be selected for one or more frames in the series. The sequence of frames may be divided into a number of subsequences to permit parallel processing, including two or more recursive levels of keyframe substitution. The transformed keyframe meshes achieve more consistent tessellation of the object across the series.

摘要： A system, operable on one or more computers, and a computer-readable media are presented for validating an assertion made by a user that he or she controls a domain name. The system comprises an assertion receiver, authorization code generator, and a validation component. The assertion receiver receives either an explicit or an implicit indication that a particular user exercises control over a domain name. The authorization code generator provides an authorization code, to be electronically published in a Domain Name System (DNS) record associated with the domain name. After the authorization code has been inserted in a DNS record, the validation component accesses the DNS record to determine presence of the authorization code within the DNS records. If the authorization code is present, control of the domain by the user is established.
