  • Heavy Traffic Sanitization
    Publication number: 20200282087
    Abstract: The present invention includes light sanitization having a dosage duration that is informed with cues and made more efficient through the use of sanitization enabling components. For example, applying a bidirectional stream of airflow in concert with sanitization enhances the surface area exposure.

  • Hybrid precision tracking
    Patent number: 9171379
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are through-the-lens tracking systems and methods which can enable sub-pixel accurate camera tracking suitable for real-time set extensions. That is, the through-the-lens tracking can make an existing lower precision camera tracking and compositing system into a real-time VFX system capable of sub-pixel accurate real-time camera tracking. With this enhanced level of tracking accuracy the virtual cameras can be used to register and render real-time set extensions for both interior and exterior locations.

  • Method and apparatus for an automated background lighting compensation system
    Patent number: 7999862
    Abstract: A system and method for removing background lighting variations from an image. The method includes capturing at least one first image including a first background and a subject wherein the at least one first image includes at least one background lighting variation, creating a virtual background model of the first background, creating a virtual background image that is substantially similar to the first background, and generating an output comprising at least one first image with at least one background lighting variation removed therefrom.
