Abstract: A method includes obtaining a reference image and a target image each representing an environment containing moving features and static features. The method also includes determining an object mask configured to mask out the moving features and preserves the static features in the target image. The method additionally includes determining, based on motion parallax between the reference image and the target image, a static depth image representing depth values of the static features in the target image. The method further includes generating, by way of a machine learning model, a dynamic depth image representing depth values of both the static features and the moving features in the target image.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for adjusting the playback speed of accessories based on the buffer level of the received content. The accessories may receive content from a host device at a certain speed. The incoming speed of the content may be different than the playback speed of the content. Therefore, a buffer level of the received content may be determined using a linear least square (“LLS”) fit of the buffer level, the average of the buffer level, or a phased locked loop (“PLL”) approach. Based on a difference between the buffer level and the playback speed, a speed adjustment may be determined. Instructions may be transmitted from a primary accessory to a secondary accessory to adjust the playback speed by a certain amount at a certain time. This may ensure that the accessories remain in sync. The accessories may then adjust their respective playback speeds.
