Abstract: A plastic item, such as a beverage bottle, conveys two distinct digital watermarks, encoded using two distinct signaling protocols. A first, printed label watermark conveys a retailing payload, including a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) used by a point-of-sale scanner in a retail store to identify and price the item when presented for checkout. A second, plastic texture watermark conveys a recycling payload, including data identifying the composition of the plastic. The use of two different signaling protocols assures that a point-of-sale scanner will not spend its limited time and computational resources working to decode the recycling watermark, which lacks the data needed for retail checkout. In some embodiments, a recycling apparatus makes advantageous use of both types of watermarks to identify the plastic composition of the item (e.g., relating GTIN to plastic type using an associated database), thereby increasing the fraction of items that are correctly identified for sorting and recycling. A great number of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Abstract: A method for reducing image noise in computer vision includes identifying a pattern of periods during which visible light is not emitted by the pixels; identifying a first black period during which a first group of lines of the pixels does not emit visible light; capturing, with an image sensor installed behind the display, a first image that longitudinally spans only the first group of lines of the pixels; and synchronizing the capturing of the first image with the first black period.

Abstract: Techniques for optimizing which LEDs in a HMD to use, the brightness of those LEDs, and camera exposure are divulged based on the particular function to be performed. For instance, one set of optimization parameters may be implemented for eye tracking purposes while a different set of optimization parameters may be implemented for eye-based authentication purposes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for anonymizing a facial image includes detecting one or more sets of facial keypoints in the facial image. The method further includes standardizing the facial image. The method further includes preparing a masked facial image by separating one or more areas comprising skin-pixels and one or more areas comprising pixels related to non-skin information. The method further includes generating a synthetic image comprising photo-realistic skin patterns. The method further includes obtaining an anonymized facial image by concatenating the masked facial image with the generated photo-realistic skin patterns.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of causing the influence of a light source that is in a captured scene to affect a background image of in-camera VFX video, is disclosed. The apparatus acquires information relating to a light source existing in real space captured by an image capture apparatus and generates, based on a three-dimensional model of a virtual space, an image to be displayed on a display apparatus disposed in the real space. The apparatus generates the image in which an influence exerted by light from the light source on the virtual space has been affected.

Abstract: A method for controlling a lighting system for a motor vehicle having a system for detecting objects includes defining at least one set of detectable types of objects and acquiring, by means of the detection system, a set of data relating to the position of a plurality of objects of types belonging to the set. Also included is determining a lighting model which is associated with said set and defines at least one zone referred to as the initial detection zone, and a light pattern referred to as the initial light pattern, of a light beam intended to be emitted in the initial detection zone. The lighting system is controlled in order to emit a light beam having the initial light pattern in the initial detection zone of said lighting model.
