摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention include a method for searching or browsing data objects within a data-object library. A current sub-population of data objects is initialized. The current sub-population contains data objects selected from the data-object library and defined by current data-object-selection criteria. Then, in a continuously iterating fashion, data objects are selected from the current sub-population and presented, and the current data-object-selection criteria are modified in order to modify the current sub-population of data objects from which data objects are subsequently selected for presentation, the modification elicited by input and automatically, by the grazing routine, following a period without input.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention include a grazing routine that selects data objects from a data-object library or database based on selection-criterion values associated with each data object and provides the data objects to a presentation routine that uses the data objects to continuously update a data-object presentation. User input directs subsequent data-object selection by the grazing routine to allow users to intuitively navigate and search a large data-object library in order to locate one or a set of particular data objects. Users can input selection commands to specific presented data-objects in order to focus subsequent data-object selection and data-object presentation to increasingly smaller sub-populations of data objects. In the absence of user input, the sub-population of data objects from which data objects are selected for presentation may be increased.

A method performed by a display system is provided. The method includes projecting a first infrared pattern from a first projection plane of a first projector into a scene, capturing the first infrared pattern from the scene in a capture plane of at least one image capture device, and determining a first correspondence mapping between the first projector and the image capture device from at least the first infrared pattern in the first projection plane and the first infrared pattern in the capture plane.

In a method of evaluating an image for a dominant line, warped mesh information regarding saliency of the image is received. Displacements of components of the warped mesh information are determined relative to corresponding components in un-warped mesh information. Statistical representations of the displacements are utilized to evaluate the image for a dominant line.

Systems and methods according to the present invention provide techniques to automatically generate an object layout. Various candidate placement positions are evaluated by computing values associated with placing the object at the placement positions. Cost functions associated with contrast, saliency and/or sharpness can be used to evaluate the desirability of each candidate placement position.

In a method for a matching a slideshow with an audio track, a slideshow is received. The slideshow comprises a timebase defining display times for slides of the slideshow. An audio track is received. The audio track is utilized to warp the timebase such that a display time for at least one of the slides is altered to increase a correlation between the display time and an intensity of a portion of the audio track.

A concurrent presentation of video segments of a video file enables rapid comprehension of the video file. A video file is segmented into video segments and a condensed representation of the video file is generated. The condensed representation corresponds to a concurrent presentation of the video segments in respective windows in a display area over repeating cycles of a loop period. The concurrent presentation may be processed to concurrently present video segments corresponding to contiguous sections of the video file in respective windows in a display area over repeating cycles of a loop period.

In a method for generating a dimensionally tractable set of image layout constraints, a selected constraint is applied to limit a dimension of a highly dimensional solution space. Through random selection one or more unconstrained dimensions of the highly dimensional solution space are identified which, when constrained, will further limit the highly dimensional solution space to a dimensionally tractable solution space. The tractability of the dimensionally tractable solution space is associated with a capability of a computational resource.
