Abstract: A system for creating a streaming media navigation and annotation display, allowing for deep annotation and efficient browsing of annotations. A system which additionally allows for annotating spatial elements of media, for example cinematic effects. A method which implements this using reactive methods which allow integration with advanced knowledge representation and display systems.

Abstract: An example method involves: accessing a first list that includes ordered clip identifiers C1 . . . Cn; accessing a second list that includes ordered player identifiers P1 . . . Px; making a determination that a clip identifier Cm is an initial one of the clip identifiers C1 . . . Cn to have a player-identifier assignment-restriction; responsive to making the determination, (i) determining that the clip identifier Cm is restricted to being assigned a player identifier Pz from the player identifiers P1 . . . Px, and (ii) assigning to each clip identifier C1 . . . Cm in reverse order a respective one of the player identifiers P1 . . . Px selected in a reverse ordered and looping fashion starting with the player identifier Pz; and traversing the clip identifiers C1 . . . Cm, and for each traversed clip identifier, causing a player identified by the one of the player identifiers P1 . . . Px assigned to the traversed clip identifier to load a clip identified by the traversed clip identifier.

Abstract: Provided are a method and system for automatically tracking a face position and recognizing a face. In the present invention, after a face image of a user is captured, a capturing unit is moved such that the face image is moved to a face authentication region where optimum face recognition is performed, thereby having a changed capturing direction. This can allow face recognition of the user to be executed without movement of the user. Accordingly, convenience in face recognition can be maximized. Further, a plurality of registered face images are stored with matching frequencies indicating the number of times that the plurality of registered face images have been matched with an authentication image, and the authentication image is firstly compared with registered face images having large matching frequencies. This can enhance a face recognition speed.

Abstract: A pixel array, a display device and a display method are provided.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for improving a playback of video data and generation of a video summary. For example, annotation data may be generated for individual video frames included in the video data to indicate content present in the individual video frames, such as faces, objects, pets, speech or the like. A video summary may be determined by calculating a priority metric for individual video frames based on the annotation data. In response to input indicating a face and a period of time, a video summary can be generated including video segments focused on the face within the period of time. The video summary may be directed to multiple faces and/or objects based on the annotation data.

Abstract: Video capture is described in which the video frame rate is based on an estimate of motion periodicity. In one example, a period of motion of a moving object is determined at a sensor device. A frame capture rate of a video camera that is attached to the moving object is adjusted based on the period of motion. Video frames are captured at the adjusted frame rate, and the captured video frames are stored.

Abstract: The present invention can realize both a transmission type and a reflection type, and provides a holographic microscope which can exceed the resolution of the conventional optical microscope, a hologram data acquisition method for a high-resolution image, and a high-resolution hologram image reconstruction method. In-line spherical wave reference light (L) is recorded in a hologram (ILR) using spherical wave reference light (R), and an object light (Oj) and an illumination light (Qj) are recorded in a hologram (IjOQR) using a spherical wave reference light (R) by illuminating the object with an illumination light (Qj, j=1, . . . , N) which is changed its incident direction. From those holograms, a hologram (JjOQL), from which the component of the reference light (R) is removed, is generated, and from the hologram, a light wave (hj) is generated.

Abstract: A playback device includes a playback controller that sets a scene with a higher level of importance at a lower playback speed and sets a scene with a lower level of importance at a higher playback speed based on a level of importance of each scene of video data, and an image data processor that converts the video data into a playback speed set by the playback controller for each scene, wherein the playback controller plays back the video data within a preset playback time. Further, the playback method plays back video data within a preset playback time by playing back a scene with a higher level of importance at a lower playback speed and playing back a scene with a lower level of importance at a higher playback speed based on a level of importance of each scene.
