Patent number: 10579906Abstract: Diagnostics may be performed on imaging devices such as digital cameras that are provided in large numbers, or mounted in arrays or networks, by providing imaging data captured from such devices to a machine learning system or classifier that has been trained to recognize anomalies based on imaging data. The machine learning system or classifier may be trained using a training set of imaging data previously captured by one or more imaging devices that has been labeled with regard to whether such imaging devices encountered any anomalies when the imaging data was captured, and if so, which anomalies were encountered. Additionally, a perceptual score which represents the quality of a given image or imaging data may be calculated and used to rank or define the image or imaging data in terms of quality, or determine whether the image or imaging data is suitable for its intended purpose.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pragyana K. Mishra, David Joseph Rendleman, Jonathan Robert Dughi, Danny Guan

Patent number: 9424676Abstract: Technologies are described herein for transitioning between a top-down map display of a reconstructed structure within a 3-D scene and an associated local-navigation display. An application transitions between the top-down map display and the local-navigation display by animating a view in a display window over a period of time while interpolating camera parameters from values representing a starting camera view to values representing an ending camera view. In one embodiment, the starting camera view is the top-down map display view and the ending camera view is the camera view associated with a target photograph. In another embodiment, the starting camera view is the camera view associated with a currently-viewed photograph in the local-navigation display and the ending camera view is the top-down map display.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Billy Chen, Eyal Ofek, David Maxwell Gedye, Jonathan Robert Dughi, Mark Ruane Dawson, Joshua Podolak

Patent number: 8773424Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing user interfaces through which a user may interact with a top-down map of a reconstructed structure within a 3-D scene. An application provides one or more user interfaces allowing a user to select a camera pose, a reconstruction element, a point, or a group of points on the top-down map. The application then determines at least one representative photograph from the visual reconstruction based on the selection of the user, and the displays a preview of the representative photograph on the top-down map as a thumbnail image. The provided user interfaces may further allow the user to navigate to the representative photograph in the local-navigation display of the visual reconstruction.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Billy Chen, Eyal Ofek, Gonzalo Alberto Ramos, Jonathan Robert Dughi, David Maxwell Gedye

Publication number: 20110187704Abstract: Technologies are described herein for generating and displaying top-down maps of reconstructed structures to improve navigation of photographs within a 3-D scene. A 3-D point cloud is computed from a collection of photographs of the scene. A top-down map is generated from the 3-D point cloud by projecting the points in the point cloud into a two-dimensional plane. The points in the projection may be filtered and/or enhanced to enhance the display of the top-down map. Finally, the top-down map is displayed to the user in conjunction with or as an alternative to the photographs from the reconstructed structure or scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Billy Chen, Eyal Ofek, Gonzalo Alberto Ramos, Jonathan Robert Dughi, David Maxwell Gedye
