Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, apparatus and system for model-based playfield registration. SOLUTION: An input video image is processed. The processing of the video image includes extracting key points related to the video image. Furthermore, whether enough key points related to the video image have been extracted is determined, and a direct estimation of the video image is performed when enough key points have been extracted and then, a homograph matrix of a final video image based on the direct estimation is generated.

Abstract:
A video communication system that replaces actual live images of the participating users with animated avatars. A method may include selecting an avatar, initiating communication, capturing an image, detecting a face in the image, extracting features from the face, converting the facial features to avatar parameters, and transmitting at least one of the avatar selection or avatar parameters. The system is configured to allow a user to select a new avatar during active communication with a remote user.
Abstract:
In response to a gestural command, a video currently being watched can be identified by extracting at least one decoded frame from a television transmission. The frame can be transmitted to a separate mobile device for requesting an image search and for receiving the search results. The search results can be used to obtain more information. The user's social networking friends can also be contacted to obtain more information about the clip.
Abstract:
Beschrieben wird ein Mechanismus zur Erleichterung der Echtzeit-Multi View-Detektion von Objekten in Multi Camera-Umgebungen gemäß einer Ausführungsform. Ein Verfahren von Ausführungsformen, wie hier beschrieben, umfasst: Mappen erster Linien, die mit Objekten assoziiert sind, auf eine Standebene; und Bilden von Clustern zweiter Linien, die den ersten Linien entsprechen, derart, dass ein Schnittpunkt in einem Cluster eine Position eines Objekts auf der Standebene darstellt.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure provides methods and systems for dynamic control of display brightness in different regions of the display based on window configuration and content. The method may include determining regions of interest to a user on the display; adjusting the display brightness in the regions of interest to a first level of brightness; and adjusting the display brightness in regions outside of the regions of interest to a second level of brightness, such that the second level of brightness is lower than the first level of brightness. The dynamic adjustment of display brightness in different regions of the display may reduce power consumption by the display.
Abstract:
Einige Ausführungsformen beinhalten einen Videokopieerkennungsansatz, der auf SURF-Trajektorienerzeugung (Speeded-up robust Features, beschleunigte robuste Merkmale), Local-Sensitive-Hash-(LSH-)-Indizierung und Raum-Zeit-Skalierungs-Registrierung basiert. Als Erstes werden Trajektorien interessierender Punkte durch SURF extrahiert. Als Nächstes wird ein effizienter stimmwichtungsbasierter Raum-Zeit-Skalierungs-Registrierungsansatz angewandt, um die optimalen Transformationsparameter (Verschiebung und Skalierung) abzuschätzen und die Videokopieerkennungs-Endergebnisse durch Fortpflanzungen von Videosegmenten in sowohl Raum-Zeit- als auch Skalierungs-Richtungen zu erzielen. Um die Erkennungsgeschwindigeit zu beschleunigen, wird Local-Sensitive-Hash-(LSH-)-Indizierung verwendet, um Trajektorien für schnelle Abfragen von Kandidatentrajektorien zu indizieren.
Abstract:
Generally this disclosure describes interactive media methods and systems. A method may include capturing an image, detecting at least one face in the image, determining an identity and expression corresponding to the at least one face, generating an icon for the at least one face based on the corresponding expression, and displaying the icon on a video monitor.
Abstract:
Video analysis may be used to determine who is watching television and their level of interest in the current programming. Lists of favorite programs may be derived for each of a plurality of viewers of programming on the same television receiver.
