ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH NON-PARTICIPANT IMAGE BLOCKING DURING VIDEO COMMUNICATION
An electronic device, computer program product, and method avoids presenting certain objects during a video communication session. During a video communication session with second electronic device(s), a controller of an electronic device identifies baseline image(s) from an image stream provided by an image capturing device of the electronic device. The baseline image includes a primary image portion of participant(s) and including a scene of objects within the foreground or background of participant (s), during an initial portion of the video communication session. The controller monitors the image stream for a subsequent detection of the primary image portion and of non-participant(s) or object(s) as a secondary image portion that is not included within the baseline image(s). The controller responds to detecting the secondary image portion subsequently appearing within the image stream by communicating, to the one or more second electronic devices, a substitute image stream that does not present the secondary image portion.
CONSTRUCTION OF ENVIRONMENT VIEWS FROM SELECTIVELY DETERMINED ENVIRONMENT IMAGES
A computing system may include a client device and a server. The client device may be configured to access a stream of image frames that depict an environment, determine, from the stream of image frames, environment images that satisfy selection criteria, and transmit the environment images to the server. The server may be configured to receive the environment images from the client device, construct a spatial view of the environment based on position data included with the environment images, and navigate the spatial view, including by receiving a movement direction and progressing from a current environment image depicted for the spatial view to a next environment image based on the movement direction.
GENERATING VIRTUAL IMAGES BASED ON CAPTURED IMAGE DATA
Systems and methods for generating a virtual view of a virtual camera based on an input image are described. A system for generating a virtual view of a virtual camera based on an input image can include a capturing device including a physical camera and a depth sensor. The system also includes a controller configured to determine an actual pose of the capturing device; determine a desired pose of the virtual camera for showing the virtual view; define an epipolar geometry between the actual pose of the capturing device and the desired pose of the virtual camera; and generate a virtual image depicting objects within the input image according to the desired pose of the virtual camera for the virtual camera based on an epipolar relation between the actual pose of the capturing device, the input image, and the desired pose of the virtual camera.
IMAGING SYSTEM, SERVER DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD FOR SERVER DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An imaging system including an imaging device 501 and a recording server 502 communicatively connected to the imaging device 501, wherein the imaging device 501 includes an imaging unit 503 that generates a video with a plurality of resolution, a dividing unit 504 that performs a division process of dividing the video generated by the imaging unit 503 into one or a plurality of tile areas and generates a tile image, and a transmission unit 506 that transmits the video to the recording server 502, wherein the recording server 502 includes a division control unit 507 that outputs an instruction to change a division method for the division process to the imaging device according to a designation frequency of an area designated on the video transmitted from the imaging device 501.
DUAL-FUNCTION IMAGING SYSTEM
A dual-function imaging system may comprise an imager comprising a lens, the lens having an inner region and an outer region surrounding the inner region; an image processor in communication with the imager; a first video display element in communication with the image processor; and a second video display element in communication with the image processor. The lens may have a first effective magnification level in the inner region and a second effective magnification level in the outer region.
Image processing device
An image processing device includes a rotation processor and an image processor. The rotation processor receives an input image and generates a temporary image according to the input image. The image processor is coupled to the rotation processor and outputs a processed image according to the temporary image, wherein the image processor has a predetermined image processing width, a width of the input image is larger than the predetermined image processing width, and a width of the temporary image is less than the predetermined image processing width.
Vehicular video camera display system
A vehicular video camera display system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a casing and an electro-optic reflective element, with a video display device disposed in the casing behind the electro-optic reflective element. With the interior rearview mirror assembly mounted at the interior cabin portion of the vehicle, a video display screen of the video display device is operable to display video images that are viewable through the electro-optic reflective element by a driver of the vehicle. A rearward-viewing video camera is disposed at a rear portion of the vehicle and views at least rearward of the vehicle. Control circuitry is disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly. Image data captured by the rearward-viewing video camera is communicated from the rearward-viewing video camera via a twisted pair wire to the control circuitry disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly.
IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
An image capturing method, applicable to an electronic device including an image capturing device and a processor, is provided. The image capturing device has a field of view (FOV). The image capturing method includes: capturing a plurality of images of the FOV by using the image capturing device, and recording a plurality of images within a capture frame in the FOV from the images, where a capturing range of the capture frame is smaller than or equal to the FOV; moving the capture frame to a perspective-moving target within the FOV in response to a setting operation on the perspective-moving target; and generating a moving-perspective video from the recorded images.
Modifying capture of video data by an image capture device based on video data previously captured by the image capture device
Various client devices include displays and one or more image capture devices configured to capture video data. Different users of an online system may authorize client devices to exchange information captured by their respective image capture devices. Additionally, a client device modifies captured video data based on users identified in the video data. For example, the client device changes parameters of the image capture device to more prominently display a user identified in the video data and may further change parameters of the image capture device based on gestures or movement of the user identified in the video data. The client device may apply multiple models to captured video data to modify the captured video data or subsequent capturing of video data by the image capture device.
INTELLIGENT ORCHESTRATION OF VIDEO PARTICIPANTS IN A PLATFORM FRAMEWORK
Embodiments of systems and methods for intelligent orchestration of video participants in a platform framework are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: process at least a first portion of a video workload using the processor; and in response to a change in context of the IHS, process at least a second portion of the video workload using an offload core.
