Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. According to particular embodiments, the spatial relationship between multiple images and video is analyzed together with location information data, for purposes of creating a representation referred to herein as a surround view for presentation on a device. A real object can be tracked in the live image data for the purposes of creating a surround view using a number of tracking points. As a camera is moved around the real object, virtual objects can be rendered into live image data to create synthetic images where a position of the tracking points can be used to position the virtual object in the synthetic image. The synthetic images can be output in real-time. Further, virtual objects in the synthetic images can be incorporated into surround views.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. In particular, a multi-view interactive digital media representation can be generated from live images captured from a camera. The live images can include an object. An angular view of the object captured in the live images can be estimated using sensor data from an inertial measurement unit. The multi-view interactive digital media representation can include a plurality of images where each of the plurality of images includes the object from a different camera view. When the plurality of images is output to a display, the object can appear to undergo a 3-D rotation through the determined angular view where the 3-D rotation of the object is generated without a 3-D polygon model of the object.

Abstract: Videos associated with video resolutions may be received. A first bitrate for each of the video resolutions may be identified based on a first bitrate point associated with the videos where a quality of the videos at a first video resolution that is upscaled to a second video resolution is better than a quality of the videos at the second video resolution at bitrates below the first bitrate point. The upscaling of the first video resolution may correspond to converting the videos from the first video resolution to the second video resolution at a client device. The identified corresponding first bitrate may be assigned to each of the video resolutions.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for augmenting multi-view image data with synthetic objects using inertial measurement unit (IMU) and image data. In one example, a process includes receiving a selection of an anchor location in a reference image for a synthetic object to be placed within a multi-view image. Movements between the reference image and a target image are computed using visual tracking information associated with the multi-view image, device orientation corresponding to the multi-view image, and an estimate of the camera's intrinsic parameters. A first synthetic image is then generated by placing the synthetic object at the anchor location using visual tracking information in the multi-view image, orienting the synthetic object using the inverse of the movements computed between the reference image and the target image, and projecting the synthetic object along a ray into a target view associated with the target image.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing live filtering in a camera view via client-server communication. In one example, a first video frame in a raw video stream is transmitted from a client device to a server. The client device receives a filter processing message associated with the first video frame that includes filter data for applying a filter to the first video frame. A processor at the client device creates a filtered video stream by applying the filter to a second video frame that occurs in the video stream later than the first video frame.

Abstract: Provided are mechanisms and processes for performing skeleton detection and tracking via client-server communication. In one example, a server transmits a skeleton detection message that includes position data for a skeleton representing the structure of an object depicted in a first video frame in a raw video stream at a client device. Based on the initial position data, a processor identifies intervening position data for the skeleton in one or more intervening video frames that are temporally located after the first video frame in the raw video stream. A filtered video stream is then presented by altering the raw video stream based at least in part on the first position data and the intervening position data.

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.
