  • Patent number: 10044972
    Abstract: Systems and methods to automatically transfer audiovisual content include camera devices, client computing devices, and centralized servers. A camera device captures audiovisual content and notifies an external entity, e.g., a (client) computing device or a centralized server. The external entity may effectuate transfer of the content to other computing devices and/or destinations. Operations on the audiovisual content, including but not limited to tagging, transcoding, clipping, speed changes, and/or image cropping, are synchronized and propagated across different computing devices and the centralized server such that any user from any computing device can be presented with the latest version of any particular audiovisual content.

  • Publication number: 20170302833
    Abstract: A projection capture system includes a camera to capture video of objects in a capture space, and a light emitting diode (LED) projector to illuminate the objects in the capture space and to project images captured by the camera into a display space. The projector includes a sequential display mode for sequentially displaying red, green, and blue light to project images captured by the camera into the display space, and a camera flash mode for simultaneously displaying red, green, and blue light to provide white light for illuminating the objects in the capture space during video capture.

  • Publication number: 20170277028
    Abstract: A digital light projector having a plurality of color channels including at least one visible color channel providing visible light and at least one invisible color channel providing invisible light. The digital light projector including a projecting device projecting light from the plurality of color channels onto an environment in the form of an array of pixels which together form a video image including a visible image and an invisible image, the video image comprising a series of frames with each frame formed by the array of pixels, wherein to form each pixel of each frame the projecting device sequentially projects a series of light pulses from light provided by each of the plurality of color channels, with light pulses from the at least one visible color channel forming the visible image and light pulses from the at least one invisible color channel forming the invisible image.

  • Publication number: 20160334938
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to aligning content displayed from a projector on to a touch sensitive mat. Examples include detecting a border of the mat, wherein the mat includes a surface area of a first spectral reflectance characteristic on to which the projector is to project the content, and the border of a second spectral reflectance characteristic different from the first spectral reflectance characteristic surrounding a perimeter of the surface area. As an example, detecting the border of the mat generally includes differentiating the second spectral reflectance characteristic of the border from the first spectral reflectance characteristic of the surface area. Examples include detecting a border of the content displayed on to the mat, and adjusting projector settings for the border of the content displayed on to the mat to fit within the detected border of the mat.

  • Publication number: 20160231866
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to determining a segmentation boundary based on images representing an object. Examples include an IR image based on IR light reflected by an object disposed between an IR camera and an IR-absorbing surface, a color image representing the object disposed between the color camera and the IR-absorbing surface, and determining a segmentation boundary for the object.

  • Publication number: 20160231862
    Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to identifying a target touch region of a touch-sensitive surface based on an image. Examples include a touch input detected at a location of a touch-sensitive surface, an image representing an object disposed between a camera that captures the image and the touch-sensitive surface, identifying a target touch region of a touch-sensitive surface based on an image, and rejecting the detected touch input when the location of the detected touch input is not within any of the at least one identified target touch region of the touch-sensitive surface.

  • Patent number: 8223399
    Abstract: A printing system includes a first module configured for capturing an image of a target printer test page including a plurality of color patches and configured to provide color data for each color patch; and a second module configured for generating a color modification based on the color data for each color patch of the target printer test page and color data for a reference printer, wherein the target printer is configured to print images converted using the color modification such that an output of the target printer substantially matches an output of the reference printer.
