  • Publication number: 20200193206
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for determining a context of an image and an object depicted by the image based on the context. A trained context classification model may determine a context of an image, and a trained object recognition model may determine an object depicted by the image based on the image and the context. Provided is also a technique for determining an object depicted within an image based on an input location of an input detected by a display screen. An object depicted within an image may be detected based on a distance in feature space between an image feature vector of an image and a feature vector of the object, and a distance in pixel-space between an input location of an input and location of the object within the image.

  • Publication number: 20190362691
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, an image system comprises a display and a controller. A portion of the display is capable of a first visual fidelity level which is the highest visual fidelity capability of the display. The controller is configured to determine a first location of a point on the display where the center of gaze of a user intersects the display and determine a plurality of concentric regions on the display sharing a common center determined at least in part on the first location of the point. The controller is further configured to communicate a command to the display to reduce the angular and spatial resolution of selected regions below the first visual fidelity level, the reduction in visual fidelity of each region determined at least in part on a proximity of each region from the first location of the point, such that the regions farther from the point have greater levels of reduction in visual fidelity.

  • Publication number: 20190364277
    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, reducing data signal bandwidth comprises receiving a multi-resolution image having a plurality of concentric regions that each have a different level of resolution, where the regions closer to the center having greater levels of resolution. Generating a representative image comprising first rasterizing the multi-resolution image into a pixel representation of pixel data with an array of pixel values. A ring of pixels for each region results from discarding duplicate pixels from each region such that only the interior pixels from each region are preserved. In a first circular direction, duplicate pixels along each ring are discarded, the preserved unique pixels resulting in ring fragments. The ring fragments are then moved towards the center so that there are no gaps between the ring fragments for each level of resolution.
