Abstract: Techniques for image synchronization are described herein. The techniques may include a device having logic, at least partially including hardware logic, to implement modules. The modules may include a first sync pulse module to issue a first sync pulse after a first sync pulse offset period to a first imaging sensor. The modules may also include a second sync pulse module to issue a second sync pulse parallel to the first sync pulse after a second sync pulse offset period to a second imaging sensor.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for determining a suggested camera pose or suggested camera settings for a user to capture one or more images. In some examples, the suggested camera pose or suggested camera settings may be based on an indication of the user's interest and gathered information associated with the user's interests. The user may be guided to adjust an actual camera pose or actual camera settings to match the suggested camera pose or suggested camera settings.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described including receiving a source image having a foreground portion and a background portion, where the background portion includes image content of a three-dimensional (3D) environment. A camera pose of the source image may be determined by comparing features of the source image to image features of target images of the 3D environment and using the camera pose to segment the foreground portion from the background portion may generate a segmented source image. The resulting segmented source image and the associated camera pose may be stored in a networked database. The camera pose and segmented source image may be used to provide a simulation of the foreground portion in a virtual 3D environment.

Abstract: Generally, this disclosure provides methods and systems for real-time video communication with three dimensional perception image rendering through generated parallax effects based on identification, segmentation and tracking of foreground and background layers of an image. The system may include an image segmentation module configured to segment a current local video frame into a local foreground layer and a local background layer and to generate a local foreground mask based on an estimated boundary between the local foreground layer and the local background layer; a face tracking module configured to track a position of a local user's face; a background layer estimation module configured to estimate a remote background layer; and an image rendering module configured to render a 3D perception image based on the estimated remote background layer, the current remote video frame and the remote foreground mask.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe processing a first image data and 3D point cloud data to extract a first planar segment from the 3D point cloud data. This first planar segment is associated with an object included in the first image data. A second image data is received, the second image data including the object captured in the first image data. A second planar segment related to the object is generated, where the second planar segment is geometrically consistent with the object as captured in the second image data. This planar segment is generated based, at least in part, on the second image data, the first image data and the first planar segment. Embodiments of the invention may further augment the second image data with content associated with the object. This augmented image may be displayed such that the content is displayed geometrically consistent with the second planar segment.

Abstract: A processing system may receive an example image for use in querying a collection of digital images. The processing system may use local and global feature descriptors to perform a content-based image comparison of the digital images with the example image, to automatically rank the digital images with respect to similarity to the example image. A local feature descriptor may represent a portion of the contents of a digital image. A global feature descriptor may represent substantially all of the contents of that digital image. The global feature descriptor may be content based, not keyword based. Intermediate and final classifiers may be used to perform the automatic ranking. Different intermediate classifiers may generate intermediate relevance metrics with respect to different modalities. The final classifier may use results from the intermediate classifiers to produce a final relevance metric for the digital images. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and systems to for generating high accuracy estimates of the 3D orientation of a camera within a global frame of reference. Orientation estimates may be produced from an image-based alignment method. Other orientation estimates may be taken from a camera-mounted orientation sensor. The alignment-derived estimates may be input to a high pass filter. The orientation estimates from the orientation sensor may be processed and input to a low pass filter. The outputs of the high pass and low pass filters are fused, producing a stabilized video sequence.
