  • Publication number: 20230319413
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for managing camera sharing between devices. In some embodiments, a first computer system displays a system interface with a set of camera options for a second computer system and an option to select a camera of a second computer system for generating a video feed at the first computer system. In some embodiments, a first computer system is in a first mode of operation in which video information is provided to a second computer system, and the first computer system receives an input and switches to a second mode of operation and ceases providing the video information to the second computer system. In some embodiments, a first computer system determines whether or not to automatically set a camera of a second computer system as a system camera for the first computer system based on device proximity.

  • Patent number: 11775811
    Abstract: The subject technology determines input parameters and an output format of algorithms for a particular functionality provided by an electronic device. The subject technology determines an order of the algorithms for performing the particular functionality based on temporal dependencies of the algorithms, and the input parameters and the output format of the algorithms. The subject technology generates a graph based on the order of the algorithms, the graph comprising a set of nodes corresponding to the algorithms, each node indicating a particular processor of the electronic device for executing an algorithm. Further, the subject technology executes the particular functionality based on performing a traversal of the graph, the traversal comprising a topological traversal of the set of nodes and the traversal being based on a score indicating whether selection of a particular node for execution over another node enables a greater number of processors to be utilized at a time.

  • Publication number: 20220335703
    Abstract: Devices, methods, and non-transitory program storage devices are disclosed herein to provide improved region of interest (ROI) tracking, image framing, and distortion correction for wide field of view (FOV) video image streams. The techniques disclosed may be configured, such that the image framing decisions made over the course of a captured wide FOV video image stream are able to be panned smoothly and seamlessly transition between framing a narrower portion of a wide angle camera's FOV to framing a wider portion of the wide angle camera's FOV (or vice versa), e.g., depending on the composition and movement of relevant subjects in the captured scene. The techniques disclosed herein may also be used to perform any distortion correction desired on the framed image portions in the output video image stream, e.g., based on the image portions' FOVs and/or the locations of the portions within the original wide FOV video image stream.

  • Patent number: 10043484
    Abstract: Displaying wide-gamut images as intended on color-managed wide-gamut display systems while rendering a visually consistent image when rendered on targeted narrow-gamut display systems (regardless of whether the narrow-gamut displays are color-managed). Images represented in accordance with this disclosure are referred to as a dual-target images (DTI): one target being the image's original wide-gamut color space, the other target being a specified narrow-gamut color space. The novel representational scheme retains narrow-gamut rendering for those colors in a wide-gamut image that are within the targeted narrow-gamut color space, transitioning to wide-gamut rendering for those colors in the wide-gamut image that are outside the targeted narrow-gamut color space. This approach minimizes pixel clipping when rendering a wide-gamut image for a narrow-gamut display, while allowing the original wide-gamut pixel values to be recovered when rendering for a wide-gamut display.

  • Patent number: 9584832
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for efficiently coding video data during circumstances of network congestion, or instances when a decoder is unable to handle incoming video at the intended frame rate. A video coder may code frames of a video sequence according to motion estimation prediction in which each frame of the video sequence is constrained to be coded as one of an I-frame or a P-frame. The video coder may determine for each coded P-frame, a distance from the respective P-frame and a most-recently coded reference frame, and if the distance matches a predetermined threshold distance, the respective P-frame may be marked as a reference frame. The coded video data of the I-frame(s), the reference P-frames and the non-reference P-frames may be transmitted in a channel.
