There is provided an information processing apparatus and method capable of more easily comparing 3D objects. Comparison information which is information for displaying a plurality of 3D objects of 6DoF content in a comparable manner is generated. Further, the plurality of 3D objects of the 6DoF content is displayed in a comparable manner on the basis of comparison information which is information for displaying the plurality of 3D objects in a comparable manner. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, an information processing system, and the like.

There is provided an image processing device including: a data storage unit storing feature data indicating a feature of appearance of one or more physical objects; an environment map building unit for building an environment map based on an input image obtained by imaging a real space and the feature data, the environment map representing a position of a physical object present in the real space; a control unit for acquiring procedure data for a set of procedures of operation to be performed in the real space, the procedure data defining a correspondence between a direction for each procedure and position information designating a position at which the direction is to be displayed; and a superimposing unit for generating an output image by superimposing the direction for each procedure at a position in the input image determined based on the environment map and the position information, using the procedure data.

A method for displaying performance of a wellbore drilling operation including wellbore cleaning includes defining drilling parameters for the drilling operation. The method includes defining a visualization tool including a boundary defined by the drilling parameters, where the boundary depicts an optimal rate of penetration (ROP). The method includes displaying the visualization tool with the optimal ROP, where the optimal ROP defines a maximum ROP for optimal wellbore cleaning based on the drilling parameters. The method includes displaying an actual rate of penetration (ROP) with respect to the optimal ROP on the visualization tool. The method further includes adjusting the actual ROP to match the optimal ROP.

Augmented reality systems provide graphics over views from a mobile device for both in-venue and remote viewing of a sporting or other event. A server system can provide a transformation between the coordinate system of a mobile device (smart phone, tablet computer, head mounted display) and a real world coordinate system. Requested graphics for the event are displayed over a view of an event.

A user interface to a virtual camera for a 3-D rendering application provides various features. A rendering engine can continuously refine the image being displayed through the virtual camera, and the user interface can contain an element for indicating capture of the image as currently displayed, which causes saving of the currently displayed image. Autofocus (AF) and autoexposure (AE) reticles can allow selection of objects in a 3-D scene, from which an image will be rendered, for each of AE and AF. A focal distance can be determined by identifying a 3-D object visible at a pixel overlapped by the AF reticle, and a current viewpoint. The AF reticle can be hidden in response to a depth of field selector being set to infinite depth of field. The AF and AE reticles can be linked and unlinked, allowing different 3-D objects for each of AF and AE.

A navigation system for a motor vehicle is provided. The navigation system comprises: a display interface located in the vehicle and configured to display a position of the vehicle; and a processor in communication with a vehicle sensor and a server and configured to receive vehicle-related information. The processor is configured to display the related information on the display interface in real time following the vehicle position when the related information belongs to a first preset category. A display method of a navigation map is also provided. The navigation system and the display method provided in the present application can help users obtain auxiliary information needed to drive on the current route from the navigation interface more conveniently in the process of using the navigation map, and thus provide a better driving experience to users.

In various examples, a generative model is used to synthesize datasets for use in training a downstream machine learning model to perform an associated task. The synthesized datasets may be generated by sampling a scene graph from a scene grammar—such as a probabilistic grammar— and applying the scene graph to the generative model to compute updated scene graphs more representative of object attribute distributions of real-world datasets. The downstream machine learning model may be validated against a real-world validation dataset, and the performance of the model on the real-world validation dataset may be used as an additional factor in further training or fine-tuning the generative model for generating the synthesized datasets specific to the task of the downstream machine learning model.

An improved virtual environment creation and testing process can be achieved by a combination of spatial partitioning and reverse tree generation. The reverse tree may be representative of the virtual environment and may be generated starting from a smallest portion or zone of the virtual environment (represented as a leaf node) and expanding up towards a root node representative of the entire virtual environment. Advantageously, the system can add new zones to the virtual environment and representative tree data structure that are external to the existing virtual environment without generating a new tree data structure. Thus, the computing resources utilized by the system disclosed herein may be significantly reduced compared to existing processes while improving the flexibility of the spatial partitioning and tree generation process thereby enabling spatial partitioning to be performed in real or near real time as a developer authors the virtual environment.
