Abstract: Video from a video camera can be integrated into a still image, with which it shares common elements, to provide greater context and understandability. Pre-processing can derive transformation parameters for transforming and aligning the video to be integrated into the still image in a visually fluid manner. The transformation parameters can then be utilized to transform and align the video in real-time and display it within the still image. Pre-processing can comprise stabilization of video, if the video camera is moveable, and can comprise identification of areas of motion and of static elements. Transformation parameters can be derived by fitting the static elements of the video to portions of one or more existing images. Display of the video in real-time in the still image can include display of the entire transformed and aligned video image, or of only selected sections, to provide for a smoother visual integration.

Abstract: An interest center-point and a start point are created in an image. A potential function is created where the potential function creates a potential field and guides traversal from the starting point to the interest center-point. The potential field is adjusted to include a sum of potential fields directed toward the center-point where each potential field corresponds to an image. Images are displayed in the potential field at intervals in the traversal from the start point toward the interest center point.

Abstract: Users may view web pages, play games, send emails, take photos, and perform other tasks using mobile devices. Unfortunately, the limited screen size and resolution of mobile devices may restrict users from adequately viewing virtual objects, such as maps, images, email, user interfaces, etc. Accordingly, one or more systems and/or techniques for displaying portions of virtual objects on a mobile device are disclosed herein. A mobile device may be configured with one or more sensors (e.g., a digital camera, an accelerometer, or a magnetometer) configured to detect motion of the mobile device (e.g., a pan, tilt, or forward/backward motion). A portion of a virtual object may be determined based upon the detected motion and displayed on the mobile device. For example, a view of a top portion of an email may be displayed on a cell phone based upon the user panning the cell phone in an upward direction.

Abstract: Keyboards, mice, joysticks, customized gamepads, and other peripherals are continually being developed to enhance a user's experience when playing computer video games. Unfortunately, many of these devices provide users with limited input control because of the complexity of today's gaming applications. For example, many computer video games require a combination of mouse and keyboard to control even the simplest of in-game tasks (e.g., walking into a room and looking around may require several keyboard keystrokes and mouse movements). Accordingly, one or more systems and/or techniques for performing in-game tasks based upon user input within a multi-touch mouse are disclosed herein. User input comprising one or more user interactions detect by spatial sensors within the multi-touch mouse may be received. A wide variety of in-game tasks (e.g., character movements, character actions, character view, etc.) may be performed based upon the user interactions (e.g., a swipe gesture, a mouse position change, etc.).

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing user interfaces through which a user may interact with a top-down map of a reconstructed structure within a 3-D scene. An application provides one or more user interfaces allowing a user to select a camera pose, a reconstruction element, a point, or a group of points on the top-down map. The application then determines at least one representative photograph from the visual reconstruction based on the selection of the user, and the displays a preview of the representative photograph on the top-down map as a thumbnail image. The provided user interfaces may further allow the user to navigate to the representative photograph in the local-navigation display of the visual reconstruction.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for generating and displaying top-down maps of reconstructed structures to improve navigation of photographs within a 3-D scene. A 3-D point cloud is computed from a collection of photographs of the scene. A top-down map is generated from the 3-D point cloud by projecting the points in the point cloud into a two-dimensional plane. The points in the projection may be filtered and/or enhanced to enhance the display of the top-down map. Finally, the top-down map is displayed to the user in conjunction with or as an alternative to the photographs from the reconstructed structure or scene.
