Provided are an image processing device, an image processing method, and an image processing program that can decide a user image that is similar to a plurality of model images and that follows a flow of the plurality of model images. Combinations of (I2) and (P3), (I51) and (P21), (I150) and (P49), (I198) and (P79), (I201) and (P30), (I249) and (P99), (I300) and (P101), and (I301) and (P112) in which similarities between the model images and the user images are equal to or more than a first threshold value are detected. The combination of (I201) and (P30) in which a relative time difference of the imaging time is equal to or more than a second threshold value is eliminated, and the rest combinations are second combinations. From among the second combinations, a model image group and a user image group, which are a collection of similar images, are decided, and the user images similar to the model images attached on a model album are decided from the user image group. A user album is created from the decided user images.

Live style transfer on a mobile device

Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and processes for transforming a style of video data. In one embodiment, a neural network is used to interpolate native video data received from a camera system on a mobile device in real-time. The interpolation converts the live native video data into a particular style. For example, the style can be associated with a particular artist or a particular theme. The stylized video data can viewed on a display of the mobile device in a manner similar to which native live video data is output to the display. Thus, the stylized video data, which is viewed on the display, is consistent with a current position and orientation of the camera system on the display.

Systems and methods for synchronizing surface data management operations for virtual reality

An exemplary virtual reality system includes a management device, a synchronization device, and a gatekeeper device communicatively coupled to the management device and the synchronization device by way of a network. The gatekeeper device is configured to receive, at a particular time, a frame of a surface data frame sequence that the gatekeeper device is responsible for processing. The gatekeeper device is also configured to transmit, to the synchronization device, the particular time at which the gatekeeper device received the frame, and to receive, from the synchronization device, a timeframe during which the gatekeeper device is to transmit the frame. The gatekeeper device is further configured to transmit, to the management device during the timeframe received from the synchronization device, the frame of the surface data frame sequence. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
