  • Patent number: 11348265
    Abstract: A method and system for creating a point cloud are disclosed. A first image is captured by a first camera sensor and a second image is captured by a second camera sensor. The first and the second image have an area of overlap. Location of the first camera relative to the second camera is predetermined and each of the first and the second camera is having a field of view of more than 180 degrees. Based on the area of overlap, the first and the second image are stitched to create a composite stitched image. In one aspect, depth information from the area of overlap is extracted based on the predetermined location and a point cloud is created from otherwise to be discarded image data in the area of overlap.

  • Patent number: 10659409
    Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for providing access to media content within a networked system. The systems and methods receive a notification indicating dispensing of an image capture device by a dispersal machine. In response to receiving the notification, the systems and methods generate a media distribution session associated with the identifier. Media instances or content are published to the media distribution session by associating the media distribution session and the identifier with the media instances or content. The systems and methods receive access requests for the media distribution session and, responsive to the access requests, transmit at least a portion of the media instances or content to a requesting device.
