Abstract: System, methods, devices, and instructions are described for fast boot of a processor as part of camera operation. In some embodiments, in response to a camera input, a digital signal processor (DSP) of a device is booted using a first set of instructions. Capture of image sensor data is initiated using the first set of instructions at the DSP. The DSP then receives a second set of instructions and the DSP is programmed using the second set of instructions after at least a first frame of the image sensor data is stored in a memory of the device. The first frame of the image sensor data is processed using the DSP as programmed by the second set of instructions. In some embodiments, the first set of instructions includes only instructions for setting camera sensor values, and the second set of instructions includes instructions for processing raw sensor data into formatted image files.

Abstract: Systems and methods for device handshaking are described. Embodiments for client device and associated wearable device initiated handshaking are described. In certain embodiments, a device such as wearable camera eyeglasses having both high-speed wireless circuitry and low-power wireless circuitry communicates with a client device. The low-power wireless circuitry is used for signaling and to manage power on handshaking for the high-speed circuitry in order to reduce power consumption. An analysis of a high-speed connection status may be performed by a client device, and used to conserve power at the glasses with signaling from the client device to indicate when the high-speed circuitry of the glasses should be powered on.

Abstract: Systems and methods for image based location estimation are described. In one example embodiment, a first positioning system is used to generate a first position estimate. A 3D point cloud data describing an environment is then accessed. A first image of an environment is captured, and a portion of the image is matched to a portion of key points in the 3D point cloud data. An augmented reality object is then aligned within one or more images of the environment based on the match of the 3D point cloud with the image. In some embodiments, building façade data may additionally be used to determine a device location and place the augmented reality object within an image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for camera devices with low boot time are provided. In one example embodiment, a user input is received at an interface of a camera. In response to the user input, a low-power processor boots a image processor. The image processor then captures camera data and writes the camera data to memory before automatically powering down. In certain embodiments, a low-power wireless connection from the camera to a client device is established. Based on this connection, the low-power processor initiates boot-up of a high-speed processor and wireless communication circuitry, which is used to transmit the camera data to the client device.

Abstract: Apparatuses and systems for electronic wearable devices such as smart glasses are described. The wearable device can comprise a housing, an image capture component, a locking component, and a control component. The housing defines an imaging aperture. The image capture component is coupled to the housing and aligned with the imaging aperture. The image capture component is configured to capture image data of a field of view aligned with the imaging aperture. The locking component is coupled to the image capture component. The locking component modifies a capture state of the image capture component to selectively enable image capture in response to a selection releasing the locking component. The control component is coupled to the locking component. Interaction with the control component comprises the selection releasing the locking component and triggering modification of the capture state of the image capture component.

Abstract: Systems and methods for image based location estimation are described. In one example embodiment, a first positioning system is used to generate a first position estimate. Point cloud data describing an environment is then accessed. A two-dimensional surface of an image of an environment is captured, and a portion of the image is matched to a portion of key points in the point cloud data. An augmented reality object is then aligned within one or more images of the environment based on the match of the point cloud with the image. In some embodiments, building façade data may additionally be used to determine a device location and place the augmented reality object within an image.
