    摘要: The use of resources on a computing device can be optimized for current conditions to reduce or minimize the amount of resources needed to provide a sufficient level of performance for various types of tasks. In some embodiments, one or more optimization algorithms can analyze information such as a type of task to be performed and the state of one or more environmental conditions to attempt to select a number and configuration of components, such as cameras and illumination elements, to use in performing the tasks. The performance of the tasks can be monitored, and the selection or states updated in order to maintain a sufficient level of performance without using more resources than are necessary.

    摘要: A camera of a computing device can capture two or more images of a region including an object of interest, in order to allow for separation of the object from a background of the images through a process such as image subtraction. In order to compensate for rotations of the device between image captures, an element such as an electronic gyroscope can be used to monitor changes in orientation and predict an amount of shift of objects between images. The predicted shift can be used to attempt to align images captured around the time of the rotation, in order to enable subtraction or similar processes by effectively removing the shifting effect of the rotation.

    摘要: An electronic device automatically reverses a left-right orientation of content displayed by the device when detecting that a user is viewing content of the device via a mirror. Some embodiments reverse the content upon detecting a trigger such as a reflection of an image displayed by the device, indicating that the device is displaying content against a mirror. In some embodiments, the device reverses the content upon detecting that blinking markers displayed by the device are inverted or upon detecting a blinking marker flashing in a particular pattern consistent to that emitted by the device. Some embodiments reverse the content upon detecting both the reflection of the image and a reflection of the user. Further, some embodiments reverse the content upon determining that the user is facing a mirror and switches back to its normal orientation when the user is viewing the content by directly looking at the device.

    摘要: A system and method are disclosed for performing an image search procedure in which a histogram calculator initially performs image analysis procedures to construct horizontal and vertical texture histograms corresponding to texture characteristics of subject images. A feature detector may then perform the image search procedure by comparing the texture histograms to identify one or more matching images in which texture characteristics are most similar.

    摘要: A Compressible Earth Mover's Distance (CEMD) better matches how humans perceive distance between distributions. Earth and holes are able to be compressed when moving from the earth to the holes thus minimizing the distance and improving the quality of image comparison. CEMD is utilized in a number of implementations, for instance, content based image retrieval, color query and other applications in multimedia. Another implementation includes using CEMD with a content recognition system for indexing occurrences of objects within an audio/video content data stream which processes the stream of data to generate a content index database corresponding to the content stream. CEMD is usable with in a variety of systems to assist in image recognition.
