Abstract: A method and architecture to write data between a source and destination by memory mapped writes or streaming packets between any of a host, a peripheral or a sub-peripheral device. A stream address is used to write the data to a memory of the destination without the source being aware of physical addresses of destination memory, i.e., memory descriptors or pointers are not used, allowing the destination to manage its own memory. The stream address may enable streaming data packets over interconnects that may not allow packet streaming by dividing a data packet into data chunks and including a stream address for each chunk. The stream address for a given packet includes a repeated first portion indicating the destination and a varied second portion indicating variable information for each data chunk such as start of packet (SoP) and end of packet (EoP) identifiers.

The video processing device is configured to receive one or more videos and audio through a plurality interfaces. Further, the device receives one or more user input corresponding to one or more customization requests of the received video and the audio. The video processing device processes the video and the audio based on the received user input and outputs the processed video and audio via an output interface.

Abstract: A three-dimensional imaging system for generating a 3D panoramic video/image is disclosed. The three-dimensional imaging system includes a plurality of stereoscopic pairs of compound cameras which are separated by a predefined distance d. The imaging system is configured to operate in a first mode to generate panoramic images simultaneously using the compound cameras. Spatial distortion and temporal distortion are calculated for each column in a region of overlap of the field of view of the panoramic images generated. The column for which the spatial and temporal distortion is minimum is marked as a seam location. The marked seam location is changed based on location of a motion in the column for which the calculated spatial and temporal distortion is minimum.

Abstract: A panoramic video conferencing server is disclosed. The server is operational to capture an audio stream via an array of microphones. The captured audio stream is de-multiplexed to extract audio for a plurality of audio zones. A region of interest (ROI) is determined for a plurality of client devices to which a panoramic video is being streamed. The ROI is determined based on a zoom information which is inputted by any one of the client devices. A modified audio channel associated with the panoramic video being streamed to at least one of the client devices is generated for each of the client devices. The modified audio channel is adjusted to coincide with directionality of an audio corresponding to the associated region of interest (ROI) inputted by the at least one of said client device and the modified audio channel is adjusted to mute audio corresponding to the audio zones other than the audio zone associated with the ROI.

Abstract: A computerized method for detecting premium attacks by an attack classification system is described. Based on received analytic information, the attack classification system generates logical representations for different portions of the analytic information represented as a nodal graph. The logical representations include objects, properties, and relationships between the objects and the properties. The attack classification system filters at least one relationship from the relationships and forms a first cluster further filtering the relationships. Being a logical representation of objects, properties and the remaining relationships, the first cluster is analyzed to determine features and introduce the features into the nodal graph.
