Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating adaptive resolution and viewpoint-prediction for immersive media in computing environments. An apparatus of embodiments, as described herein, includes one or more processors to receive viewing positions associated with a user with respect to a display, and analyze relevance of media contents based on the viewing positions, where the media content includes immersive videos of scenes captured by one or more cameras. The one or more processors are further to predict portions of the media contents as relevant portions based on the viewing positions and transmit the relevant portions to be rendered and displayed.

Abstract: A particle-based assay system is disclosed that uses hydrogel microparticles that capture analytes of interest from a sample which are subsequently bound with catalytic reporter complexes. Catalytic reporter complexes bound to the hydrogel microparticles generate signals that are accumulated in the vicinity of the hydrogel microparticle at high concentration (or on or within the hydrogel microparticles). In some circumstances, the reporter complex-bound hydrogel microparticles are encapsulated in an emulsion. Preferably, the emulsion is substantially uniform and contains one hydrogel microparticle per droplet. The accumulated signal generated by the catalytic reporter complexes is contained inside the emulsion, and/or optionally immobilized onto or inside the hydrogel microparticle. Signals are read and analyzed using optical instruments such as flow cytometers. Breaking the emulsion prior to signal analysis is optional.

Abstract: A rich communication services (RCS) system may receive a message associated with content. The message may be transmitted by a first user device and destined for a second user device and associated with content. The RCS system may receive subscription data associated with a user of the first user device and including information indicating whether content filtering is enabled for the user. The RCS system may determine whether content filtering is enabled for the user based on the subscription data, and may process the content, when the content filtering is enabled for the user and with a machine learning model, to determine whether to filter the content. The RCS system may perform one or more actions based on whether the content is to be filtered.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for image stitching for a plurality of digital images of an infrastructure surface for defect detection. The method includes providing a plurality of partial digital images of an infrastructure surface. The method includes extracting global positioning system meta-data from data corresponding to the partial digital images. The method includes determining feature descriptions of features in the one or more partial digital images. The method includes executing a scheduled processing sequence for the partial digital images based on the extracted global positioning system meta-data including determining an affinity matrix using the feature descriptions of adjacent partial digital images to incrementally position each of the partial digital images such that an overview image of the infrastructure surface is produced by iteratively digitally stitching the plurality of partial digital images together.
