Generating an image stream may include obtaining image data from a camera, identifying a first subset of the image data including a region of interest, identifying a second subset of the image data different than the first subset of the image data, processing the first subset of image data by a first processing pipeline to obtain a first processed set of image data, processing the second subset of image data by a second processing pipeline to obtain a second processed set of image data, wherein the second processing pipeline processes at a lower quality than the first processing pipeline, and combining the first processed set of image data and the second processed set of image data to obtain a processed image frame.

Systems and methods are disclosed for aligning a two-dimensional (2D) design image to a 2D projection image of a three-dimensional (3D) design model. One method comprises receiving a 2D design document, the 2D design document comprising a 2D design image, and receiving a 3D design file comprising a 3D design model, the 3D design model comprising one or more design elements. The method further comprises generating a 2D projection image based on the 3D design model, the 2D projection image comprising a representation of at least a portion of the one or more design elements, generating a projection barcode based on the 2D projection image, and generating a drawing barcode based on the 2D design image. The method further comprises aligning the 2D projection image and the 2D design image by comparing the projection barcode and the drawing barcode.

There is provided with an image-processing apparatus for indicating a range, which is displayed by a device or a system comprising a display area for displaying an image, within an input image. A first obtaining unit obtains information that represents a display form of the device or the system comprising the display area. A second obtaining unit obtains input image data representing the input image. An identification unit identifies the range, which is displayed in the display area, within the input image based on the input image data and the information. An output unit outputs information that represents the identified range. A shape of the identified range depends on the display area that corresponds to at least a curved screen or a plurality of flat screens.

A microscope system comprising an eyepiece, an objective that guides light from a sample to the eyepiece, a tube lens that is disposed on a light path between the eyepiece and the objective and forms an optical image of the sample on the basis of light therefrom, a projection apparatus that projects a projection image including a first assistance image onto an image plane on which the optical image is formed, and a processor that performs processes. The processes include generating projection image data representing the projection image. The first assistance image is an image of the sample in which a region wider than an actual field of view corresponding to the optical image is seen, The first assistance image is projected onto a portion of the image plane that is close to an outer edge of the optical image.

Systems and methods for modifying image distortion (curvature) for viewing distance in post capture. Presentation of imaging content on a content display device may be characterized by a presentation field of view (FOV). Presentation FOV may be configured based on screen dimensions of the display device and distance between the viewer and the screen. Imaging content may be obtained by an activity capture device characterized by a wide capture field of view lens (e.g., fish-eye). Images may be transformed into rectilinear representation for viewing. When viewing images using presentation FOV that may narrower than capture FOV, transformed rectilinear images may appear distorted. A transformation operation may be configured to account for presentation FOV-capture FOV mismatch. In some implementations, the transformation may include fish-eye to rectilinear transformation characterized by a transformation strength that may be configured based on a ratio of the presentation FOV to the capture FOV.

An electronic device, method, and computer readable medium for foveated storage and processing are provided. The electronic device includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor performs head tracking and eye tracking; generates a foveated image from an original image based on the head tracking and the eye tracking; and stores the foveated image using one of: a tile-based method or a frame-based method.

An image capturing device, image capturing system, and image processing method, each of which: obtains a video image of an object; converts a wide-angle video image to generate a low-definition, wide-angle image; applies projection transformation to a part of the wide-angle video image to generate a high-definition, narrow-angle video image in different projection; combines each frame of the low-definition, wide-angle video image and a corresponding frame of the high-definition, narrow-angle video image, into one frame data while reducing a resolution of each video image, to generate a combined video image; transmits the combined video image for display at a communication terminal; in response to a request from the communication terminal, applies projection transformation to a part of a frame of the wide-angle video image to generate an ultra-high-definition, narrow-angle still image in different projection; and transmits the ultra-high-definition, narrow-angle still image for display at the communication terminal.

An omnidirectional image and video capturing system including a tube, a plurality of reflectors, openings for rays of light to the enter tube, and a stitching, display or decoding non-transitory storage media. The reflectors may include a first mirror, a second mirror, a third mirror, and a fourth mirror and may be angled at an approximate 45-degree angle and a fifth mirror that may capture reflected images from the first (4) four mirrors.

A method for managing wide view content in a virtual reality (VR) environment and an apparatus therefor are provided. The method includes receiving content covering 360 degree or a wider viewing angle than a viewing angle of a user of the first device and displaying, on the VR device, a first view displaying at least one portion of the content covering the viewing angle of the user on a first view area of a display of the VR device, and a second view covering 360 degree or the wider viewing angle of the content using convex projection on a second view area of the display.

This disclosure relates to an image processing method and device, a display device, and a virtual reality display system. The image processing method includes: rendering a first image from a gaze region of a user and a second image from other regions in different frames respectively, to obtain a first image frame and a second image frame accordingly, wherein the first image frame has a resolution higher than that of the second image frame; and transmitting one of the first image frame and the second image frame.
