Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for reducing video latency.

Abstract: A map database stores map data in multiple levels having different levels of details. In displaying a three-dimensional map, the map data having a higher level of details is used for a close view area near the viewpoint to a predetermined distance, and the map data having a lower level of details is used for a distant view area farther from the predetermined distance. The distant view area is first drawn by a perspective projection, and then, after clearing a depth buffer that stores depth information, the close view area is drawn, such that an undesirable hidden line removal process based on the depth information is not performed between the projected image in the distant view area and that in the close view area, thereby avoiding an unnatural phenomenon in which part of the close view image is hidden by the distant view image.

In one embodiment, a method for performing localization and mapping with a mobile device includes identifying geometric constraints associated with a current area at which the mobile device is located, obtaining at least one image of the current area captured by at least a first camera of the mobile device, obtaining data associated with the current area via at least one of a second camera of the mobile device or a sensor of the mobile device, and performing localization and mapping for the current area by applying the geometric constraints and the data associated with the current area to the at least one image.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for the display of images by employing monotonic matrix factorization and sub-frame approximation image integration. In some examples, drive signals for a display device may be generated by iteratively applying a monotonic non-negative matrix factorization (NNMF) process to source image data. A given iteration of the monotonic NNMF process may result in approximation image data, partial sum image data, and residue image data, some or all of which may be further processed via subsequent iterations of the monotonic NNMF process. A generated approximation image data may then be displayed during a sub-frame time interval by selective activation of multiple row and column drivers. A series of such displayed approximation image data may effectively correspond to the original source image. In particular, the monotonic NNMF process may allow the generation of non-negative residue image data without the use of element reduction.

Abstract: Implementations relate to prioritized display of visual content in computer presentations. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes obtaining first visual content and second visual content associated with the first visual content, where the first and second visual content include a plurality of pixels. The method provides a display of a computer presentation by a display device, where the first visual content is displayed in a presentation area of the computer presentation. The method determines that a first presentation priority of at least a portion of the first visual content is reduced based on a determination that less than a threshold amount of the at least a portion of the first visual content has changed. In response to determining that the first presentation priority is reduced, the method improves a visibility of a display of the second visual content in the computer presentation.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards transitioning from an existing screen (e.g., a page or the like) to a new screen, in which element(s)/control(s) of the existing screen are shared to the new screen. An existing screen acts as a source screen to provide element-related data (e.g., names) of its existing elements; the existing elements are intersected with those desired by the new/destination screen. The destination screen takes over ownership of any common elements. A navigation service may coordinate the exchange of information and the transition. The transition may include animations and/or other effects to provide a visually smooth transition or the like between screens.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for implementing a volume-preserving mesh smoothing brush. The volume-preserving mesh smoothing brush first computes modified positions of vertices of a 3D mesh. A change in the volume of the region of the 3D mesh smoothed by the volume-preserving mesh smoothing brush is estimated. Then updated positions of the vertices are computed based on the estimated change in the volume. The volume-preserving mesh smoothing brush effectively rounds the brushed area. During each smoothing iteration, the positions of the vertices are updated to smooth the 3D mesh while also approximately preserving the volume of the 3D mesh.

Abstract: A projection (projected image) is drawn by perspective projection of a three-dimensional model with a background image having improved reality. When a sightline of the perspective projection looks down from above, the projected image is drawn into an object drawing area which is a lower part of an image picture. A background layer representing the stratosphere is separately generated by two-dimensionally drawing a background image, in which the stratosphere (hatched area) is opaque, while the remaining area is transparent. The boundary between the opaque portion and the transparent portion forms a curved line that is convex upward to express a curved horizon. The background layer is superimposed in front of the projected image, not behind the projected image, thereby covering an upper edge portion of the projected image including a straight-lined upper edge, so as to provide a curved boundary realizing a curved pseudo horizon in the image picture.

Abstract: A graphics processing unit's workload duration is monitored across a number of frames. A threshold “k” may be used to determine if the workload is Burst or Sustained for a number of frames and another time constant “t” may be used to monitor the burst behavior. If the device continues to be in burst mode over time “t” and the performance state is not an energy efficient state, then the system may lower the performance state to “Pe” and monitor if the same workload remains as Burst. If not, the performance state may be raised to the next higher performance state.

Abstract: A method and system for accurate and precise representation of color for still and moving images, particularly sequences of digitized color images. Spectral and/or extended dynamic range information is retained as images are captured, processed, and presented during color adjustment. Using this extra spectral information, various methodologies for further presenting or processing the color within these images can be optimized. Presentation-device independence is achieved not by attempting to discover a device-independent intermediate representation, but rather by deferring the binding and mapping of color representation onto a presentation device until its actual use.
