    Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses may include technology that compresses a central region of an image to a central level of detail and compresses one or more peripheral regions of the image to one or more peripheral levels of detail that are less than the central level of detail, wherein the central region and the peripheral region(s) are fixed. Additionally, the technology may send the compressed central region and the compressed peripheral region(s) to a remote display. In one example, the central region and the peripheral region(s) are independent of eye movement with respect to the remote display.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at pairing a host electronic device with a peripheral electronic device using visual recognition and deep learning techniques. In particular, the host device may receive an indication of a peripheral device via a camera or as a result of searching for the peripheral device (e.g., due startup of a related application or periodic scanning). The host device may also receive an image of the peripheral device (e.g., captured via the camera, and determine a visual distance to the peripheral device based on the image. The host device may also determine a signal strength of the peripheral device, and determine a signal distance to the peripheral device based on the signal strength. The host device may pair with the peripheral device if the visual distance and the signal distance are approximately equal.

    Abstract: Herein is disclosed an infrastructure state prediction device comprising a memory device onto which an infrastructure state model corresponding to a location and a state timing of a plurality of infrastructure elements is stored; one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the memory device and configured to receive measurement information representing a location and an observed state of a first infrastructure element; determine a predicted state of a second infrastructure element based on a state timing corresponding to a second infrastructure element; determine a movement information based on the observed state of the first infrastructure element, the predicted state of the second infrastructure element and a relation between the location of the first infrastructure element and a location of the second infrastructure element; and generate a message comprising the movement information.

    Abstract: Herein is disclosed an unmanned aerial vehicle comprising a memory, configured to store a projection image; an image sensor, configured detect image data of a projection surface within a vicinity of the unmanned aerial vehicle; one or more processors, configured to determine a depth information for a plurality of points in the detected image data; generate a transformed projection image from a projection image by modifying the projection image to compensate for unevenesses in the projection surface according to the determined depth information; and send the transformed projection image to an image projector; and an image projector, configured to project the transformed projection image onto the projection surface.

    Abstract: In stereoscopic cameras with wide fields of view, portions of the camera's lenses can be captured in stereoscopic content captured by the camera. These lens artifacts can be distracting to a viewer of the captured stereoscopic content. Revised stereoscopic content can be generated in which the lens artifacts in the left and right images of the stereoscopic content are replaced with image content that blends in with the remainder of the images. With the lens artifacts removed, revised stereoscopic content provides for a more immersive viewing experience to a viewer. A lens artifact in one image of a stereoscopic image can be replaced by image data generated by an inpainting model, interpolated from a portion of the image region around the lens artifact, or based on the corresponding region of the other image in the stereoscopic image. Lens masks can define the portion of an image to be replaced.
