Abstract: An autostereoscopic display comprises a steerable display backlight, comprising a light output arrangement for providing lines of light output and a first lenticular lens array, with each lens focused near a corresponding line of light output. A display panel is illuminated by the backlight and a second lenticular array generates at least two views to different viewing directions. Head and/or eye tracking is used for tracking at least two viewers. Views are provided to the two eyes of a tracked viewer at the same time, and views are provided to the two eyes of different tracked viewers time-sequentially.

Abstract: A recording device includes a receiver, a recorder, and first and second selectors. The receiver is to be connected to a vehicle exterior imaging device and a vehicle interior imaging device, and receives vehicle exterior images and vehicle interior images generated in time series from the vehicle exterior imaging device and the vehicle interior imaging device, respectively. The recorder records the vehicle exterior images and the vehicle interior images received by the receiver. The first and second selectors respectively select a first image and a second image from the vehicle exterior images or the vehicle interior images recorded in the recorder. The first image indicates a first behavior previously determined as having an apparent risk in a behavior of the vehicle or the occupant. The second image indicates a second behavior previously determined as having a potential risk in a behavior of the vehicle or the occupant.

Abstract: A fusion night vision system has a plurality of hinged joints that allow an operator to adjust the distance between the left eye piece and the right eyepiece while allowing a row of pixels from a display to be maintained viewable through the right eye piece parallel with an imaginary line formed by an optical axis of the left eye piece with an optical axis of the right eye piece.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for combining metadata with video into a video stream using a 32-bit aligned payload, that is computer storage efficient and human discernable. The metadata is stored in a track in a self-describing structure. Metadata track may be decoded using an identifier reference table that is substantially smaller than typical fourCC identifier tables. The combined metadata/video stream is compatible with a standard video stream convention and may be played using conventional media player applications that reads media files compliant with MP4/MOV container format. The proposed format may enable decoding of metadata during streaming, partitioning of combined video stream without loss of metadata. The proposed format and/or metadata protocol provides for temporal synchronization of metadata with video frames.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically displaying variable image content in an image product includes automatically obtaining markers in photos or videos in a user account which includes detecting features in image content of the photos or the video frames and obtaining a marker for one of the photos or the video frames, automatically identifying a sequence of similar photos or videos if the markers detected in the photos or the associated video frames include more than a predetermined number or percentage of common features, detecting a marker in a photo product by a user device when the photo product is viewed by the user device, identifying a marked photo incorporated in the photo product based on the marker detected in the photo product, and enabling photos or videos in a sequence photos or videos associated with the marked photo to be displayed on the user device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include multi-sensory stereo vision sensors suitable for use in robotics, navigation, machine vision, manufacturing, and other applications. In some cases, a sensor includes a stereo camera that produces image data for use in generating disparity maps to determine the positions of objects in the scene and/or the position of the sensor itself. The stereo sensor may include image sensors that are fastened to a unitary frame to prevent undesired drift and a thermal pad that wicks heat away from a processor. The processor may provide an efficient means to directly compute stereo disparity maps onboard the sensor. A sensor can also include a laser rangefinder that provides range data suitable for calibrating the stereo camera and for improving its accuracy in certain environments. In some cases, the laser is coupled to a spindle, which in turn is driven by a geartrain through a slipping clutch.

Abstract: Physical storage media may store video information defining video content. The video content may be characterized by video edit information. The video edit information may identify one or more of portions of the video content used in a video edit and/or one or more highlight moments within the video content. The video edit information may be accessed. One or more target portions of the video content may be identified based on the video edit information. The target portion(s) of the video content may not be used in the video edit and/or may not include at least one of the highlight moment(s). The target portion(s) of the video content may be defined by one or more target portions of the video information. The target portions of the video information may be changed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering video with teleprompter script overlays are described. A video rendering system provides a user interface for displaying a script for use during the rendering of the video (e.g., while the user records and/or streams the video). The script is arranged such that it at least partially overlays the video feed and is positioned within the display of the user interface to produce a line of sight of a user corresponding to first region of a field of view of the video capture device. When a user's line of sight is fixed upon the script overlay (i.e., when the user is reading the script) and aligned with the first region of the field of view of the video capture device, a viewer of the video rendering is given a visual perception that the user is looking directly at the viewer (e.g., making eye contact).
