  • Patent number: 12124249
    Abstract: Techniques regarding manufacturing one or more digital product designs are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can include a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a user interface component that generates a manufacturability report regarding a product design in relation to a manufacturing process. The manufacturability report can indicate whether a product feature included in the product design is permissible based on a plurality of manufacturing considerations associated with the manufacturing process.

  • Patent number: 12003856
    Abstract: Synchronization of a frame rate to a detected cadence includes receiving a sequence of image frames. Motion data recorded contemporaneously with a capture of the sequence of image frames are also received. At least some of the motion data are converted from time domain data to frequency domain data. A dominant frequency in the frequency domain data is determined. Frames from the sequence of image frames are sampled at a sampling frequency related to the dominant frequency. A new image sequence is created using the sampled frames.

  • Patent number: 11297241
    Abstract: A frame rate is synchronized to a detected cadence in order to generate an output image sequence that is substantially stabilized. In an in-camera process, a camera receives motion data of the camera while the camera captures the sequence of image frames. A dominant frequency of motion is determined and the capture frame rate is dynamically adjusted to match the frequency of detected motion so that each image frame is captured when the camera is at approximately the same position along the axis of motion. Alternatively, in a post-processing process, frames of a captured image sequence are selectively sampled at a sampling rate corresponding to the dominant frequency of motion so that each sampled frame corresponds to an image capture that occurred when the camera is at approximately the same position along the axis of motion.

  • Patent number: 6987805
    Abstract: A method is provided for encoding K>1 sequentially presented video pictures. Each of the K pictures is divided into an m>1 row×n>1 column array of non-overlapping coding units of equal sizes. Each coding unit occupies a respective coding unit position in the picture from which it was divided. An arbitrary, pseudo random pattern of coding units is selected for refreshing during each of the K pictures. Each pattern selected during any given one of the K pictures includes a sequence of one or more coding units of the array. In addition, the pixels of each coding unit selected for refreshing during a kth picture occupy different pixel positions than each coding unit selected for refreshing during a preceding one of the 1st to (k?1)th pictures of the K pictures. Furthermore, each pixel position of a moving picture image formed from the K pictures is selected for refreshing once over the sequence of K pictures.
