The invention relates to a microscope and a method for producing 3D images of various transparent or semi-transparent samples, fundamentally comprising: causing a relative movement according to the detection direction between the sheet of light and the sample while maintaining a constant angle of acquisition; producing, for said angle of acquisition, a single 2D projection image formed by a representative parameter for each pixel; modifying the angle of acquisition by means of a relative rotation between the sheet of light and the sample, combined with a relative vertical translation between the sheet of light and the sample, and repeating the previous steps; and generating a 3D image of each of the samples from the set of 2D projection images that are produced.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, causes a processor to perform operations to display a three-dimensional (3D) space. The methods may include, with an imaging device, capturing a first series of frames as the imaging device travels from a first location to a second location within a space, and capturing a second series of frames as the imaging device travels from the second location to the first location. The method may also include determining a first segment in the first series of frames that matches a second segment in the second series of frames to create a segmentation dataset, generating video clip data based on the segmentation dataset, the video clip data defining a series of video clips, and displaying the series of video clips.

A system and method for tracking the movement of a recording device to form a composite image is provided. The system has a user device with a sensor array capturing motion data and velocity vector data of the recording device when the recording device is in motion, an attachment member for coupling the user device to the motion capturing device, and a server with program modules. The program modules described are a calibration module for calibrating a position of the user device relative to a position of a lens of the recording device, a recorder module for receiving the motion data and velocity vector data from the sensor array; and a conversion module for combining the position of the user device relative to the lens of the recording device, and the motion data and velocity vector data and transforming the data into a file that is usable by a compositing suite, a three-dimensional application, or both.

One variation of a system for capturing a textured 3D scan of an human body includes: a base configured to support a user; a sensor assembly configured to record optical scans; a robotic arm coupled to the base and configured to move the sensor assembly along a helical path extending upwardly from and around the base during a scanning routine; and a controller configured to stitch optical scans recorded by the sensor assembly during the scanning routine into the 3D scan of the human body of the user.

An image pickup apparatus comprising: an image pickup unit; a display unit; a display control unit; an object image detection unit; a distance information acquisition unit; and a binocular vision suitability determination unit, wherein the display control unit displays a second guide frame of a larger size than the first guide frame on the display unit in addition to the first guide frame, and, in a case where the object image detection unit detects at least one other object image different from the object image determined to be suitable for the binocular vision by the binocular vision suitability determination unit from the second guide frame, the display control unit matches the second guide frame to the at least one other object image.

Aspects of the disclosure provide an apparatus that includes an interface circuit, an image generating circuit and a display device. The interface circuit is configured to receive media data with timed directorial information indicative of a region of interests at a time. The image generating circuit is configured to extract the timed directorial information, and generate one or more images of the region of interests based on the media data and the timed directorial information. The display device is configured to display the one or more images at the time.

Described herein are systems and methods for locating an object detected in a video. The system detects a bounding box at least partially around an object in a first frame at a first time in the video and a second frame in the video corresponding to a second time. The system determines whether there is no motion within the bounding box of the second frame. The system compares edge information, or color information, or intensity information associated with one or more pixels in the first frame, to edge information, or color information, or intensity information associated with one or more pixels within the bounding box. The system generates a score based on the comparison. The system further determines based on the score if the object is present in the second frame. The system also determines an estimated timeframe window of a first appearance of the object.

Systems and methods for capturing omnistereo content for a mobile device may include receiving an indication to capture a plurality of images of a scene, capturing the plurality of images using a camera associated with a mobile device and displaying on a screen of the mobile device and during capture, a representation of the plurality of images and presenting a composite image that includes a target capture path and an indicator that provides alignment information corresponding to a source capture path associated with the mobile device during capture of the plurality of images. The system may detect that a portion of the source capture path does not match a target capture path. The system can provide an updated indicator in the screen that may include a prompt to a user of the mobile device to adjust the mobile device to align the source capture path with the target capture path.
