The electrically controlled spectacle also includes a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit being adapted to control the state of each of the lenses independently.
Three dimensional media streaming and broadcasting system and method
A three-dimensional media streaming and broadcasting system and method, which enables different media, such as concerts and sports events, to be transferred in a live and three-dimensional manner, and the transferred image to be broadcast and viewed with devices such as virtual reality goggles.
Method and system for three-dimensional surface measurement with a mobile device
A three-dimensional (3D) imaging system includes a mobile device that has a display screen configured to display a series of patterns onto an object that is to be imaged. The mobile device also includes a front-facing camera configured to capture reflections of the series of patterns off of the object. The system also includes a controller that is configured to control a timing of the series of patterns that appear on the display screen and activation of the front-facing camera in relation to the appearance of the series of patterns.
Detecting stereoscopic camera desynchronization
Detecting stereoscopic camera desynchronization may include: receiving, at a processing unit, a first frame from a first camera and a second frame from a second camera, wherein the first camera provides first time data for when the first frame is captured by the first camera and the second camera provides second time data indicating when the second frame is captured by the second camera; associating, with the first image and independent of the first time data, a first timestamp; associating, with the second image and independent of the second time data, a second timestamp; and determining, by the processing unit, whether the first camera and the second camera are synchronized based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp.
THREE DIMENSIONAL MEDIA STREAMING AND BROADCASTING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A three-dimensional media streaming and broadcasting system and method, which enables different media, such as concerts and sports events, to be transferred in a live and three-dimensional manner, and the transferred image to be broadcast and viewed with devices such as virtual reality goggles.
Dynamic vibration sensor optics distortion prediction
The present disclosure discloses a system and a method for mitigating image distortion. In an example implementation, the system and the method can receive vehicle state data and vehicle inertial measurement data; generate an image distortion prediction indicative of image distortion within an image captured by the image capture assembly based on the vehicle state data and the vehicle inertial measurement data; and at least one of correct or mitigate the image distortion based on the image distortion prediction.
360-degree virtual-reality system for dynamic events
A dynamic event capturing and rendering system collects and aggregates video, audio, positional, and motion data to create a comprehensive user perspective 360-degree rendering of a field of play. An object associated with a user collects data that is stitched together and synchronized to provide post event analysis and training. Through an interface actions that occurred during an event can be recreated providing the viewer with information on what the user associated with the object was experiencing, where the user was looking, and how certain actions may have changed the outcome. Using the collected data, a virtual realty environment is created that can be manipulated to present alternative courses of action and outcomes.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING DEWARPED IMAGE USING PROJECTION PATTERNS CAPTURED FROM OMNI-DIRECTIONAL STEREO CAMERAS
A system for generating high-resolution de-warped omni-directional stereo image from captured omni-directional stereo image by correcting optical distortions using projection patterns is provided. The system includes a projection pattern capturing arrangement, a projector or a display, and a de-warping server. The projection pattern capturing arrangement includes one or more omnidirectional cameras to capture projection patterns from the captured omni-directional stereo image from each omni-directional stereo camera. The projector or the display displays the projection patterns. The de-warping server obtain the projection patterns and processes the projection patterns to generate high resolution de-warped omni-directional stereo image by correcting optical distortions in the captured omni-directional stereo image and mapping the captured omni-directional stereo image and the high resolution de-warped omni-directional stereo image.
