Abstract: An automated avocado processing system for cutting an avocado in half, removing the pit, and extracting the flesh from the peel includes a plurality of functional assemblies arranged on a frame. Exemplary stations include a loading assembly, cutting assembly, peeling station, and food collection assembly. Computer and electronics are programmed and operable to control the automated stations. Related methods are described.

Abstract: An example system for lightweight view dependent rendering is described herein. An example mobile device includes a display, instructions, and processor circuitry to execute instructions to extract a moving region within a first set of frames of volumetric video content captured by a plurality of real-world cameras facing a scene at different angles. The processor circuitry to generate a first billboard based on a cropped area of the frames in the first set of frames, the cropped area corresponding to the first moving region. The processor circuitry to, in response to user selection of a first view of the scene, cause presentation of the first billboard on the display. The processor circuitry to, in response to a change from the first view to a second view of the scene, cause a second billboard to replace the first billboard on the display.

Abstract: An example system for lightweight view dependent rendering is described herein. The system includes at least one memory, and at least one processor to execute instructions to track a moving object within a first view of a scene, the first view captured by a first camera of a plurality of cameras. The plurality of cameras to capture video data of the scene from a plurality of angles. The at least one processor to extract a portion of the video data to obtain a cropped video corresponding to the moving object within the first view. The at least one processor to generate a billboard representation based on the cropped video. The at least one processor to cause the billboard representation to be presented on a display in front of a two-dimensional background.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate encoding visibility data for view-dependent video is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors to receive point cloud data including a plurality of images and camera parameters associated with each of a plurality of cameras, and encode one or more visibility descriptors for each point in the point cloud data to provide visibility information for each point for a plurality of camera views indicated in the camera parameters.

Abstract: An example system for lightweight view dependent rendering is described herein. The system includes a processor configured to determine a moving region of each camera view, wherein the moving region is defined by a bounding box and track each moving region to obtain a plurality of cropped videos for each camera view. The system may also be configured to generate a billboard for each camera view and render each billboard.
