20200117918 · 2020-04-16 ·

A method performed by a vehicle system for handling images of the surroundings of a vehicle. An image of the surroundings of the vehicle is obtained. The image is obtained from at least one side image capturing device mounted in or on the vehicle, and the image capturing device comprises a fisheye camera lens. At least a part of the distortions in the image is corrected to obtain a corrected image. The corrected image is rotationally transformed using a first rotational transformation to obtain a first transformed image. The corrected image is rotationally transformed using a second rotational transformation to obtain a second transformed image. The first and second transformed images are consecutive or adjacent images.

ENVIRONMENT MAP GENERATION AND HOLE FILLING
20200118253 · 2020-04-16 ·

In some embodiments, an image manipulation application receives a two-dimensional background image and projects the background image onto a sphere to generate a sphere image. Based on the sphere image, an unfilled environment map containing a hole area lacking image content can be generated. A portion of the unfilled environment map can be projected to an unfilled projection image using a map projection. The unfilled projection image contains the hole area. A hole filling model is applied to the unfilled projection image to generate a filled projection image containing image content for the hole area. A filled environment map can be generated by applying an inverse projection of the map projection on the filled projection image and by combining the unfilled environment map with the generated image content for the hole area of the environment map.

Apparel design system with intelligent asset placement

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. As the user designs apparel, the system provides feedback as to what designs can be used, such as avoiding technical constraints with their designs.

SHAPE CONFORMING PROJECTIONS OF MEDICAL INFORMATION

A projection system for projecting medical information onto the surface of the human body such that the medical information conforms and registers to the contour of the underlying shape of the region it is being projected upon. The projection system is in communication with one or more projectors and one or more sensors which capture the topography/area/volume of the region of interest and/or the view of the user, and alter the medical information such that the medical information remains accurate in dimensions when projected into the area of interest.

Systems and methods for generating stabilized visual content using spherical visual content
10607313 · 2020-03-31 · ·

Spherical visual content represented in an image space may be obtained. The spherical visual content may have been captured by image sensor(s) during a time duration. The spherical visual content may include phenomena caused by motion of the image sensor(s) and/or optical components that guide light onto the image sensor(s). A capture path taken by the image sensor(s) during the time duration may be determined. The capture path may reflect positions and orientations of the image sensor(s) during the time duration. A smoothed path may be determined based on the capture path. The smoothed path may have smoother changes in positions and/or orientations than the capture path. The image space may be warped based on a difference between the capture path and the smoothed path. The stabilized visual content may be determined by projecting the spherical visual content represented in the warped image space to a spherical projection space.

Method for generating a panoramic image

A method for generating a panoramic image includes providing a 3D point model of an area surrounding a virtual viewpoint, acquiring multiple images of the area surrounding the virtual viewpoint, projecting the acquired images onto the 3D point model and generating the panoramic image using the thus obtained 3D point model of the surrounding area.

20200092471 · 2020-03-19 ·

Disclosed is a panoramic image mapping method and a corresponding reversely mapping method. Particularly, the mapping process includes mapping a panoramic image or a spherical surface corresponding to Video A: first, dividing the spherical surface into three areas based on the latitudes of the spherical surface, denoted as Area I, Area II, and Area III, respectively; mapping the three areas to a square plane I, a rectangular plane II, and a square plane III, respectively; then, splicing the planes I, II and III into a plane, wherein the resulting plane is the two-dimensional image or video B. Compared with the equirectangular mapping method, the method according to the present disclosure may effectively ameliorate oversampling in high-latitude areas and effectively lower the bit rate needed by coding and the complexity of decoding. The present disclosure relates to the field of virtual reality, which may be applied to panoramic images and videos.
