Abstract: In one example embodiment, a software application obtains a set of images that include an aerial cable and generates a 3D model from the set of images. The 3D model initially excludes a representation of the aerial cable. The software application processes each image of the set of images to extract pixels that potentially represent cables and determines a position in 3D space of the 3D model of a pair of attachment points for the aerial cable. The software application defines a vertical plane in 3D space of the 3D model based on the pair of cable attachment points. For each of one or more images of the set of images, the software application projects at least some of the pixels that potentially represent cables onto the vertical plane. The software application then calculates a curve representation (e.g., a catenary equation) for the aerial cable based on the pixels projected onto the vertical plane, and adds a cable model defined by the curve representation to the 3D model to represent the aerial cable.

Specifically, the anatomical structure such as a facial muscle topology and a skull surface that are specific to the live actor may be used. A skull surface that is specific to a live actor based on facial scans of the live actor and generic tissue depth data. For example, the facial scans of the live actor may provide a skin surface topology of the live actor, based on which the skull surface underneath the skin surface can be derived by “offsetting” the skin surface with corresponding soft tissue depth at different sampled points on the skin surface.

Abstract: A method is described for implementing augmented reality by means of transferring annotations from a model image to a video flow or to a sequence of destination images. The method entails the creation of a model image for each point of interest (or several points of interest), in addition to the annotation of said model image with point annotations on the objects points of interest that are intended to be augmented and made user-interactable. The method will automatically try to understand if the video flow or the sequence of destination images contains the object contained in the model image and, if so, it will automatically transfer the annotations made from the model image to the video flow or to the sequence of destination images, maintaining the location of the points relative to the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a virtual reticle in an augmented or virtual reality environment by a wearable device are described. The environment can include real or virtual objects that may be interacted with by the user through a variety of poses, such as, e.g., head pose, eye pose or gaze, or body pose. The user may select objects by pointing the virtual reticle toward a target object by changing pose or gaze. The wearable device can recognize that an orientation of a user's head or eyes is outside of a range of acceptable or comfortable head or eye poses and accelerate the movement of the reticle away from a default position and toward a position in the direction of the user's head or eye movement, which can reduce the amount of movement by the user to align the reticle and target.
