A camera module comprises: a first housing; a lens module disposed in the first housing; a second housing coupled to the first housing; a first printed circuit board disposed in the inner space of the first housing and the second housing; an image sensor disposed on the first printed circuit board; and a shield can disposed under the first printed circuit board in the second housing, wherein the shield can comprises a rib which comes into contact with the lower surface of the first printed circuit board.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can obtain data associated with a computer-based experience. The computer-based experience can be based on interactive real-time technology. At least one virtual camera can be configured within the computer-based experience in a real-time engine. Data associated with an edit cut of the computer-based experience can be obtained based on content captured by the at least one virtual camera. A plurality of shots that correspond to two-dimensional content can be generated from the edit cut of the computer-based experience in the real-time engine. Data associated with a two-dimensional version of the computer-based experience can be generated with the real-time engine based on the plurality of shots. The two-dimensional version can be rendered based on the generated data.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for varied depth determination using, stereo vision and phase detection auto focus (PDAF). Computer stereo vision (stereo vision) is used to extract three-dimensional information from digital images. To utilize stereo vison, two optical sensors are displaced horizontally from one another and used to capture images depicting two differing views of a real-world environment from two different vantage points. The relative depth of the objects captured in the images is determined using triangulation by comparing the relative positions of the objects in the two images. For example, the relative positions of matching objects (e.g., features) identified in the captured images are used along with the known orientation of the optical sensors (e.g., distance between the optical sensors, vantage points the optical sensors) to estimate the depth of the objects.

An active marker relay system is provided to operate responsive active markers coupled to an object in a live action scene for performance capture, via a trigger unit that relays energy pulse information to responsive active markers. Using use simple sensors, the responsive active markers sense control energy pulses projected from the trigger unit. In return, the responsive active markers produce energy pulses that emulate at least one characteristic of the control energy pulses, such as a particular pulse rate or wavelength of energy. The reactivity of the responsive active markers to control energy pulses enables simple control of the responsive active markers through the trigger unit.

An optical tracking system includes optical source devices. The optical source devices are configured to emitting optical signals. A control method, suitable for the optical tracking system, includes following operations. A dimensional scale to be covered by the optical tracking system is obtained. Signal strength of the optical signals provided by the optical source devices is adjusted according to the dimensional scale. The signal strength of the optical signals is positively correlated with the dimensional scale.

A computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product improve the quality of multimedia. The method includes displaying a current frame of a video. The method also includes generating dataframes for the current frame and for a reference frame of the video. The method further includes comparing the dataframes for the reference and current frames. In addition, the method includes determining a quality metric of the current frame based on the comparison of the dataframes for the reference and current frames. Finally, the method includes altering an orientation of the display of the current frame in response to determining that the quality metric of the current frame is below a threshold.

In a control device for a motion picture camera that has a record button and a control circuit connected to the record button, the control circuit is configured to cause a start of a motion picture recording in response to a first actuation of the record button. In a normal recording mode, the control device causes a termination of the motion picture recording in response to a second actuation of the record button. In a tail slate mode, the control device, in contrast, only causes a termination of the motion picture recording when first a second actuation of the record button takes place and then a third actuation of the record button takes place.

A storytelling system that simplifies the filmmaking process to enable end-users, including, but not limited to, audiences of movies, TV shows, and commercials, and product-narrative owners, including, but not limited to studios, TV networks, filmmakers, and brands, to co-produce audio-visual stories as extensions of existing product-narratives. The system includes, but is not limited to, story prompts that direct end-users' filmmaking activities, protocol to frame creation of audio-visual stories within the product-narrative, a function for end-users to choose relationship status between one another within the product narrative, and a method to catalogue activity within the system, which can be delivered in varying formats. The system includes, but is not limited to, a method for product-narrative owner to organize end-user's audio-visual story, a plurality of end-user audio-visual stories, the product-narrative, and/or any combination thereof, to articulate expanded product-narrative as a result of the system.

In various aspects, there is provided a system and method for determining a mediated reality positioning offset for a virtual camera pose to display geospatial object data. The method comprising: determining or receiving positioning parameters associated with a neutral position; subsequent to determining or receiving the positioning parameters associated with the neutral position, receiving positioning data representing a subsequent physical position; determining updated positioning parameters associated with the subsequent physical position; determining a updated offset comprising determining a geometric difference between the positioning parameters associated with a neutral position and the updated positioning parameters associated with the subsequent physical position; and outputting the updated offset.
