Abstract: An example method includes: retrieving a previous representation representing a target portion of a space; obtaining a current representation representing the target portion of the space; comparing the previous representation to the current representation to identify a change in the target portion of the space; mapping the target portion of the space to a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the space to locate the change within the 3D representation; and storing a change map defining the change in context of the 3D representation.

Abstract: A telepresence method includes capturing video at a source location, the videos including a subject within their respective points of view. The method further includes determining a viewpoint of a remote user at a remote location other than the source location, creating a synthetic video from the captured video, with the synthetic video corresponding to the determined viewpoint of the remote user, and displaying the synthetic video of the subject to the remote user.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method of re-projecting and combining sensor data of a scene from a plurality of sensors for visualization. The method including: receiving the sensor data from the plurality of sensors; re-projecting the sensor data from each of the sensors into a new viewpoint; localizing each of the re-projected sensor data; combining the localized re-projected sensor data into a combined image; and outputting the combined image. In a particular case, the receiving and re-projecting can be performed locally at each of the sensors.

Abstract: A head mounted display system with video-see-through (VST) is taught. The system and method process video images captured by at least two forward facing video cameras mounted to the headset to produce generated images whose viewpoints correspond to the viewpoint of the user if the user was not wearing the display system. By generating VST images which have viewpoints corresponding to the user's viewpoint, errors in sizing, distances and positions of objects in the VST images are prevented.
