Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement an automatically evolving code recommendation engine. In one example, the apparatus collects a user code snippet. The apparatus then determines a structured representation of the user code snippet. Next, the apparatus generates a recommended code snippet using the structured representation of the user code snippet. Then the apparatus obtains user-determined code snippet feedback comparing the user code snippet to the recommended code snippet, the user-determined code snippet feedback indicating one of a match, no match, or uncertain. Finally, the apparatus stores a code snippet training pair in a training database, the code snippet training pair including the user code snippet and the recommended code snippet.

Abstract: Techniques for generating an aggregated set of features from multiple images generated by a camera are disclosed. A first image generated by the camera is accessed, where the first image was generated at a first time. A first set of features are identified from within the first image. A second image generated by the camera is accessed, where the second image is generated at a subsequent, second time. A second set of features are identified from within the second image. Movement data is obtained. This movement data details a movement of the camera between the first and second times. The movement data is used to reproject a pose embodied in the first image to correspond to a pose embodied in the second image. The embodiments aggregate the two sets of features to generate the aggregated set of features. The aggregated set of features for the camera are then cached.

Abstract: Techniques for performing image alignment between a first image generated by a first camera and a second image generated by a second camera are disclosed.

A first set of features are identified from within the first image, and a second set of features, which were previously detected within the second image, are accessed. The second set of features were previously used at least once to perform a previous image alignment operation. A current image alignment operation is performed by using the first set of features and by reusing the second set of features to align the first image with the second image.
