Patent number: 11632516Abstract: Techniques are described for automated operations involving capturing and analyzing information from an interior of a house, building or other structure, for use in generating and providing a representation of that interior. Such techniques may include using a user's mobile device to capture visual data from multiple viewing locations (e.g., video captured while the mobile device is rotated for some or all of a full 360 degree rotation at each viewing location) within multiple rooms, capturing data linking the multiple viewing locations, analyzing each viewing location's visual data to create a panorama image from that viewing location, analyzing the linking data to determine relative positions/directions between at least some viewing locations, creating inter-panorama links in the panoramas to each of one or more other panoramas based on such determined positions/directions, and providing information to display multiple linked panorama images to represent the interior.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: MFIB Holdco, Inc.Inventors: Ivaylo Boyadzhiev, Alex Colburn, Li Guan, Qi Shan

Patent number: 10419674Abstract: An imaging device detects a shake detection signal and an amount of motion of an image within a photography screen when a panning assist mode is set. A search range of a face detection position of a subject is set, and a process of changing a calculation process of a subject vector is performed based on a face detection result. If the face detection position of the subject is acquired, a first calculation process in which a subject vector is calculated from motion vectors within a first detection range based on the face detection position is performed. If the face detection position of the subject is not acquired and a subject vector can be detected, a second calculation process n which a subject vector is calculated from the motion vectors within a second detection range based on a focus detection frame set within the photography screen is performed.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hitoshi Miyazawa
