Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating cinematic space-time view synthesis in computing environments according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes capturing, by one or more cameras, multiple images at multiple positions or multiple points in times, where the multiple images represent multiple views of an object or a scene, where the one or more cameras are coupled to one or more processors of a computing device. The method further includes synthesizing, by a neural network, the multiple images into a single image including a middle image of the multiple images and representing an intermediary view of the multiple views.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable media for obtaining the informed consent of a patient for a medical procedure. Specifically, a video describing a medical procedure may be provided to the patient through a client device having two display portions. As the video is playing in a first portion, the client device may capture the patient watching the video and display the captured image on the second portion. The entire display of the client device may be recorded, providing a record that the patient has watched the video describing the medical procedure and consents to the medical procedure.

Abstract: Video output is synchronized to the actions of a user by determining positions of the user's body based on acquired video of the user. The positions of the user's body are compared to the positions of a body shown in the video output to determine corresponding positions in the video output. The video output may then be synchronized so that the subsequent output that is shown corresponds to the subsequent position attempted by the user. The rate of movement of the user may be used to determine output characteristics for the video to cause the body shown in the video output to appear to move at a similar rate to that of the user. If the user moves at a rate less than a threshold or performs an activity erroneously, the video output may be slowed or portions of the video output may be repeated.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that utilize screen capture to identify media. Example meter devices disclosed herein are to, in response to determining a media device is powered on, monitor a media device to detect audio output by the media device. Disclosed example meter devices are also to, in response to audio not being detected for a period of time, instruct an image capture device to capture image data representative of a media presentation by the media device. Disclosed example meter devices are also to instruct the image capture device to stop capturing the image data in response to detection of audio output by the media device. Disclosed example meter devices are also to determine, based on whether the image data corresponds to a menu presentation by the media device, whether to transmit the image data to a central facility for media identification.

Abstract: A decoding system decodes a video stream, which is encoded video information. The decoding system includes a decoder that acquires the video steam and generates decoded video information, a maximum luminance information acquirer that acquires maximum luminance information indicating the maximum luminance of the video stream from the video stream, and an outputter that outputs the decoded video information along with the maximum luminance information. In in a case where the video stream includes a base video stream and an enhanced video stream, the decoder generates base video information by decoding the base video stream, an enhanced video information by decoding the enhanced video stream, and generates the decoded video information based on the base video information and the enhanced video information, and the outputter outputs the decoded video information, along with the maximum luminance information.

Abstract: In order to provide a recording and reproducing device that allows a user to select and manage arbitrary play lists, a unit of management for managing all registered play list information and an upper management hierarchical level are added. The unit of management is adapted to be handled on the same level with unified information that indicates a reproduction range of all AV data. User-defined unified information is adapted to be handled on the added management hierarchical level. The user-defined unified information is formed to allow arbitrary reproduction ranges contained on a lower hierarchical level to be registered.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure enable humanly-specified relationships to contribute to a mapping that enables compression of the output structure of a machine-learned model. An exponential model such as a maximum entropy model can leverage a machine-learned embedding and the mapping to produce a classification output. In such fashion, the feature discovery capabilities of machine-learned models (e.g., deep networks) can be synergistically combined with relationships developed based on human understanding of the structural nature of the problem to be solved, thereby enabling compression of model output structures without significant loss of accuracy. These compressed models provide improved applicability to “on device” or other resource-constrained scenarios.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to segmentation and hierarchical clustering of video. In an example implementation, a video is ingested to generate a multi-level hierarchical segmentation of the video. In some embodiments, the finest level identifies a smallest interaction unit of the video—semantically defined video segments of unequal duration called clip atoms. Clip atom boundaries are detected in various ways. For example, speech boundaries are detected from audio of the video, and scene boundaries are detected from video frames of the video. The detected boundaries are used to define the clip atoms, which are hierarchically clustered to form a multi-level hierarchical representation of the video. In some cases, the hierarchical segmentation identifies a static, pre-computed, hierarchical set of video segments, where each level of the hierarchical segmentation identifies a complete set (i.e., covering the entire range of the video) of disjoint (i.e.

Abstract: A facility for transferring configuration information to a target media device is described. The facility receives in the target media device a copy of media device settings stored in a source media device distinct from the target media device in a first form in which they are used in the source media device. This copy of media device settings is received by the target media device via a route other than its visual user interface. The facility causes the received copy of media device settings to be transformed into a second form in which they can be used in the target media device. The facility then stores the media receiver settings in the second form in the target media device for use by the target media device.

Abstract: A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a dual mode illumination module having a first light emitting diode (LED) operable to emit visible white light when electrically powered and a second LED operable to emit non-visible light when electrically powered. The first LED, when the vehicle is parked and the first LED is electrically powered, emits visible white light to provide visible ground illumination at a ground region at least partially along the side portion of the vehicle. Visible ground illumination by the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly at the ground region is locked-out during movement of the vehicle. The second LED, when the second LED is electrically powered, emits non-visible light to provide non-visible illumination for a camera viewing exterior and at least sideward of the vehicle. Non-visible light emission by the second LED is not locked-out during movement of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein that facilitate temporally synchronizing, in real time, a separately sourced high quality audio segment of a live event with a video segment that is generated by a recording device associated with a member of the audience. An A-V Synchronization Application may synchronize a video segment of a live event that is generated from a personal electronic device of an audience member with a high quality audio segment that is separately sourced and generated by professional sound recording equipment at the live event. The result of the temporal synchronization is a high fidelity digital audio visual recording of the live event. In various, the audience member may stream, in real-time, the high fidelity digital audio visual recording to an additional electronic device at a different geo-location. In some examples, narrative audio segments may be also included as part of the high fidelity digital audio visual recording.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating images of an environment includes controlling at least one camera to acquire imaging data from the environment and selecting, from the imaging data, a three-dimensional-two-dimensional correspondence as a control point for use in a perspective-n-point problem to determine a position and orientation of the at least one camera from n known correspondences between three-dimensional object points and their two-dimensional image projections in the environment. The method also includes reprojecting at least a selected number of the projections, determining a reprojection error for each of the projections, and performing a weight assignment of reprojection errors to distinguish the inliers form outliers. These steps of the method are repeated to apply the weight assignment to outliers in a decreased fashion during iterations to reduce an impact of outliers in the real-time display of the environment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for using drone imaging to capture images. Capture instructions are provided to a drone device to aid in image capture related to events. Events may be defined by characteristics such as geographical boundary information, temporal boundary information, and participant information. In one aspect, capture instructions are determined based on subject faces appearing in images associated with a sharing pool associated with an event. In another aspect, capture instructions are determined based on factor-of-interest information and remuneration policy information. The factor-of-interest information identifies subjects of interest gathered from different user devices with corresponding weights In another aspect, a drone may be assigned to one of a plurality of events based on event opportunity scores. The event opportunity scores may be determined from users associated with events, and the factors and weights associated with those users.
