摘要: A method and processor system are provided which analyze a depth map, which may be obtained from a range sensor capturing depth information of a scene, to identify where an object is located in the scene. Accordingly, a region of interest may be identified in the scene which includes the object, and image data may be selectively obtained of the region of interest, rather than of the entire scene containing the object. This image data may be acquired by an image sensor configured for capturing visible light information of the scene. By only selectively obtaining the image data within the region of interest, rather than all of the image data, improvements may be realized in the computational complexity of a possible further processing of the image data, the storage of the image data and/or the transmission of the image data.

摘要: A method of determining a group of user devices suitable for contributing user content to an interactive media broadcast may comprise: —transmitting a set of requirements to a first plurality of user devices (13), each user device having a set of capabilities, the set of requirements relating to using at least part of the user content in the interactive media broadcast, —transmitting an invitation to a second plurality of user devices (13), the invitation being configured to cause a user device to produce a conditional response if the set of capabilities of the user device matches the set of requirements, and —identifying a group of user devices from which a conditional response was received. The method may further comprise selecting a group of user devices from the identified user devices. The selected group of user devices may include all identified user devices. The media broadcast may include an interactive television broadcast.

摘要: A content distribution system is provided comprising a content client and a content server connected through a network. The content server is configured to send the content client a session description comprising at least one media description to enable it to receive over the network a content item. The system comprises a network monitor for monitoring network traffic going through the network, and a recommender for marking in dependency upon the network monitor, one or more of the media descriptions in the session description to obtain a marked session description. The marked media description recommends the content client to prefer certain content above others in view of the current network condition. For example, if available bandwidth is low, content is recommended which requires low bandwidth. Network congestion is thereby avoided for all users of the system.

摘要: Systems and methods for screen sharing are provided. The screen sharing may comprise providing image data from a sender system to a receiver system. The receiver system may be a Virtual Reality [VR] system configured to render the image data in a virtual environment by projecting the image data onto a virtual canvas. At the sender system, visual content may be identified to share with the receiver system. The rendering or display of the virtual environment by the receiver may impose legibility constraints on the visual content. An adjusted version of the visual content may be generated which provides improved legibility when viewed in the virtual environment. The image data representing the adjusted version may then be provided to the receiver system. Accordingly, the legibility of the visual content shared by the sender system may be improved when rendered, displayed and subsequently viewed by a user in the virtual environment.

摘要: Some embodiments involve obtaining access to a number of omnidirectional images which each represent a different viewpoint relative to the scene, and to metadata which is indicative of a physical relation between the respective viewpoint and a physical object present in the scene. Viewer data may be obtained which is indicative of a current physical relation between a viewpoint of the user and a same type of physical object in a current viewing environment of the user. An omnidirectional image may then be selected for display by comparing the viewer data to the metadata of the omnidirectional images.In other embodiments, an omnidirectional image may have been selected, e.g., from a number of omnidirectional images or by being the only available image, and the user may be instructed to assume a viewpoint in which the physical relation to the physical object in the user's current viewing environment corresponds to the physical relation as indicated by the selected image's metadata.

摘要: A system and method are provided for enhancing a media recording which comprises a camera recording of a scene, with the scene including a screen displaying visual content. In the camera recording, the visual content as displayed on the screen is typically of poor quality. By analysing the camera recording, accessing an original version of the visual content, and replacing, in the camera recording, the visual content displayed on the screen by the original version of the visual content, an enhanced media recording is obtained. Namely, in the enhanced media recording, a ‘digital-to-light-to-digital’ conversion of the visual content is avoided, being at least one reason for the visual content having a poor quality in the camera recording.

摘要: The invention provides a streaming client with a streaming presentation of an event, with said presentation being obtained by dynamically switching between a plurality of media streams which represent different recordings of the event. For that purpose, source data is obtained from a plurality of stream sources. The source data is constituted by content data and/or metadata of concurrent portions of the plurality of media streams. By applying a quality assessment function to the source data, a quality score is assigned to each one of the concurrent portions. This allows selection data to be generated which enables the streaming client to access a selected one of the concurrent portions of a respective media stream. For example, a segment may be selected which provides a highest quality score. By doing so, it is therefore not required anymore for a consumer to manually switch between different media streams.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for generating and rendering an enhanced audiovisual recording of a user, which may be used for multiuser communication, e.g., in Virtual Reality. Such an enhanced recording may be generated by determining a face orientation of the user in the audiovisual recording, and generating orientation data specifying an orientation which represents said determined face orientation. During rendering, the audio data may be rendered based on the orientation data, namely by rendering the audio data as a spatial audio source having a spatial direction which is congruent with the face orientation of the user in a visual representation of the user. Accordingly, the spatial direction of the voice of the user may better match the user's face direction in the user's visual representation.

摘要: Methods and systems are described for processing spatially segmented content originating from a content delivery network. One method comprises a client in a media processing device receiving a spatial manifest information comprising one or more spatial representations of a source stream, each spatial representation identifying one or more spatial segment streams, location information for locating one or more delivery nodes in said content delivery network and, optionally, position information for stitching spatial segment frames in said segment streams into a video frame for display; selecting one or more spatial segment streams and on the basis of said spatial manifest information requesting at least one delivery node in said content delivery network to transmit said one or more selected spatial segment streams to said client; and, receiving said one or more selected spatial segment streams from said at least one delivery node.
