Abstract: A tag characterizing a portion of a multi-view interactive digital media representation (MVIDMR) may be determined by applying a grammar to natural language data. The MVIDMR may include images of an object and may be navigable in one or more dimensions. An object model location for the tag identifying a location within a three-dimensional object model may be determined by applying the grammar to the natural language data. The tag may then be applied to the MVIDMR by associating it with two or more of the images at positions determined based on the object model location.

Abstract: A method includes determining, based on an image having an initial viewpoint, a depth image, and determining a foreground visibility map including visibility values that are inversely proportional to a depth gradient of the depth image. The method also includes determining, based on the depth image, a background disocclusion mask indicating a likelihood that pixel of the image will be disoccluded by a viewpoint adjustment. The method additionally includes generating, based on the image, the depth image, and the background disocclusion mask, an inpainted image and an inpainted depth image. The method further includes generating, based on the depth image and the inpainted depth image, respectively, a first three-dimensional (3D) representation of the image and a second 3D representation of the inpainted image, and generating a modified image having an adjusted viewpoint by combining the first and second 3D representation based on the foreground visibility map.

Abstract: Images of an object may be captured at a computing device. Each of the images may be captured from a respective viewpoint based on image capture configuration information identifying one or more parameter values. A multiview image digital media representation of the object may be generated that includes some or all of the images of the object and that is navigable in one or more dimensions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring a plurality of assets using a plurality of location tags are provided. The plurality of assets includes a conveyor system and at least one other asset. At least a subset of the location tags is positioned at a fixed position along the conveyor system, and at least one location tag is positioned at the at least one other asset. Each location tag includes at least one environmental sensor and a communication interface. The communication interface is configured to transmit a sensor signal to a network system and at least one information signal to a mobile receiver. The mobile receiver moves with respect to the conveyor system such that the distance between the mobile receiver and the subset of the location tags continuously changes, and a position of the mobile receiver is determined based on a signal strength of the information signal.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for migrating one or more services from an edge device to a cloud computing environment. In one example, a migration service receives a request to migrate a first set of services from the edge device to the cloud computing environment. The migration service identifies a hardware profile of a computing device (or devices) of the cloud computing environment that matches the edge device, and then configures the computing device to execute a second set of services that corresponds to the first set of services. The migration service establishes a communication channel between the edge device and the computing device, and then executes a set of migration operations such that the second set of services is configured to execute as the first set of services. The computing device may operate in a virtual bootstrap environment or dedicated region of the cloud computing environment.

Abstract: The pose of an object may be estimated based on fiducial points identified in a visual representation of the object. Each fiducial point may correspond with a component of the object, and may be associated with a first location in an image of the object and a second location in a 3D coordinate pace. A 3D skeleton of the object may be determined by connecting the locations in the 3D space, and the object's pose may be determined based on the 3D skeleton.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for scene-aware selection of filters and effects for visual digital media content. In one example, a digital media item is analyzed with a processor to identify one or more characteristics associated with the digital media item, where the characteristics include a physical object represented in the digital media item. Based on the identified characteristics, a digital media modification is selected from a plurality of digital media modifications for application to the digital media item. The digital media modification may then be provided for presentation in a user interface for selection by a user.

Component condition information may be determined for one or more of the components based on the images. The component condition information may indicate damage incurred by the object portion corresponding with the component.

Abstract: A multi-view interactive digital media representation (MVIDMR) of an object can be generated from live images of an object captured from a camera. Selectable tags can be placed at locations on the object in the MVIDMR. When the selectable tags are selected, media content can be output which shows details of the object at location where the selectable tag is placed. A machine learning algorithm can be used to automatically recognize landmarks on the object in the frames of the MVIDMR and a structure from motion calculation can be used to determine 3-D positions associated with the landmarks. A 3-D skeleton associated with the object can be assembled from the 3-D positions and projected into the frames associated with the MVIDMR. The 3-D skeleton can be used to determine the selectable tag locations in the frames of the MVIDMR of the object.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing visual search using multi-view digital media representations, such as surround views. In one example, a process includes receiving a visual search query that includes a surround view of an object to be searched, where the surround view includes spatial information, scale information, and different viewpoint images of the object. The surround view is compared to stored surround views by comparing spatial information and scale information of the surround view to spatial information and scale information of the stored surround views. A correspondence measure is then generated indicating the degree of similarity between the surround view and a possible match. At least one search result is then transmitted with a corresponding image in response to the visual search query.
