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 (MVIDMR) of object can be generated from live images of the object captured from a hand-held camera. Methods are described where image data associated with the images capture from the hand-held camera are manipulated to generate a more desirable MVIDMR of the object. In particular, the image data can be manipulated so that it appears as if the camera traveled a smoother trajectory during the capture of the images which can provide a smoother output of the MVIDMR. In embodiment, key point matching within the image data and, optionally, IMU data from a sensor package on the camera can be used to generate constraints used in a factor graph optimization that is used to generate a smoother trajectory of the camera.

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 determined angular views can be used to select from among the live images. 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: 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 (MVIDMR) of a person can be generated from live images of a person captured from a hand-held camera. Using the image data from the live images, a skeleton of the person and a boundary between the person and a background can be determined from different viewing angles and across multiple images. Using the skeleton and the boundary data, effects can be added to the person, such as wings. The effects can change from image to image to account for the different viewing angles of the person captured in each image.

An angular view of the object captured in the live images can be estimated using sensor data from an inertial measurement unit. The determined angular views can be used to select from among the live images and determine when a three hundred sixty degree view of the object has been captured. When the plurality of images is output to a display, the object can appear to undergo a 3-D rotation, such as a three hundred sixty degree 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: The gardening kit is a collection of tools configured for use in the weeding of agricultural plots such as gardens. Each component contained within the gardening kit is configured for use without requiring the gardener to bend over during weeding. The gardening kit comprises a weeding device and a clipping collector. The weeding device is a bladed device that is worn in the manner of a boot. The weeding device is used in the manner of a hoe to either: 1) cut directly through unwanted growth; 2) agitate the soil in a manner that cuts the existing unwanted growth from their roots; or, 3) remove or otherwise dig out old roots from the soil. Once the clippings and other debris have been accumulated via the weeding device the clipping collector is used to pick up and dispose of the accumulated clippings.
