A method of generating an improved warp map for a projection on a non-planar surface. An initial warp map of the projection on the non-planar surface captured by a camera is received, the projection being formed on the non-planar surface using a projector and the initial warp map. A plurality of regions on the non-planar surface is generated, each of the plurality of regions having a size and location determined from a measure of flatness for the region based on the initial warp map. An unwarped image of a calibration pattern projected on the non-planar surface is determined by applying an inverse transform to each of the plurality of regions on the non-planar surface, each transform mapping pixels of the projection to pixels of the camera according to the initial warp map. A plurality of locations in the determined unwarped image of the calibration pattern is determined to generate the improved warp map.

10582733 · 2020-03-10 · ·

The present disclosure is generally directed to methods for producing garments and garment designs. More particularly, disclosed are methods for producing figure-flattering garments and garment designs that create an optical illusion of an anatomical feature. The garment designs are created by manipulating a macro scale pattern from nature.

Immersive display apparatus and method for creation of peripheral view corresponding to input video

The present disclosure relates to an immersive display apparatus and method for creation of a peripheral view image corresponding to an input video, the method comprising a pre-processing step of obtaining scene-space information at a main-view video signal corresponding to a first area, a pre-warping step of performing first warping to at least one neighborhood frame corresponding to a target frame included in the pro-processed video signal and determining an outlier from the result of the first warping, a sampling step of sampling at least one neighborhood frame to be used for extrapolation from the result of the first warping, a warping step of performing second warping to the sampled frame except for the outlier to generate a peripheral view image signal corresponding to a second area around the first area, and a blending step of blending the peripheral view image signal to the main-view video signal.

Methods and apparatus of processing spherical images related to segmented sphere projection (SSP) are disclosed. According to one method, a North Pole region of the spherical image is projected to a first circular image and a South Pole region of the spherical image is projected to a second circular image using a mapping process selected from a mapping group comprising equal-area mapping, non-uniform mapping and cubemap mapping. Methods and apparatus of processing spherical images related to rotated sphere projection (RSP) are also disclosed. According to this method, the spherical image is projected into a first part of rotated sphere projection corresponding to a region of the spherical image and a second part of rotated sphere projection corresponding to a remaining part of the spherical image using equal-area mapping.
