Abstract:
A spherical content capture system captures spherical video content. A spherical video sharing platform enables users to share the captured spherical content and enables users to access spherical content shared by other users. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non- spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest.
Abstract:
The invention pertains to a seamless display screens that are portable and can be installed in a fast manner, as well as a projection unit for use with several projectors as well as methods of making such display screens. The projection unit can be suitable for being used as a rear projection unit. Means are provided for reducing depth of the projection unit, to compensate for blend zones and to make it easy to transport such as to be suitable for trade shows, e.g. mirrors or Fresnel lenses.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a multi-projection system using an interior surface as a projection surface, the system including a screen installed in a single theater, a plurality of interior surfaces arranged around the screen, and two or more projection devices for projecting synchronized images on the screen and the interior surfaces.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a multi-projection system with a reflective surface, and the multi-projection system includes an image reproduction unit for visually reproducing image content and a reflective surface for reflecting an image reproduced by the image reproduction unit toward an auditorium, thus providing images to the auditorium in multiple directions.
Abstract:
Panoramic and spherical cameras often currently capture respective portions of a scene using a set of lenses that focus images on imagers for sampling by photosensitive elements. Because the images are often circular and imagers are often rectangular, the orientation of the lenses may be selected as a tradeoff between capturing the entire image while leaving unused portions of the imager, and maximizing imager coverage to increase resolution while creating cropped image portions that extend beyond the edges of the imager. The techniques presented herein involve displacing the image from the imager center in order to increase a first cropped area and reduce or eliminate a second cropped area. The lenses may also be oriented such that the first cropped area comprises a portion of the composite image that may be acceptable to omit from the composite image (e.g., the user's hand or a camera mounting apparatus).
Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method, apparatus and computer program product comprise facilitating receipt of a plurality of images and a plurality of image statistics associated with a scene and performing ordering of the plurality of images based at least on the plurality of image statistics. The method, apparatus and computer program product also include generating a panorama image of the scene based at least on stitching the plurality of ordered images.
Abstract:
A tiled array display system includes a plurality of individual display devices positioned adjacent to each other in a tiled configuration. At least one mullion region is formed between adjacent ones of the display devices in which image information is not displayed by the display devices. At least one structure is configured to generate image information in the at least one mullion region to reduce visibility of the at least one mullion region.
