  • Patent number: 10593097
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, an example method may include determining to control a bit rate of a content encoder. The method may include generating a first number of shaded texture atlases for use in rendering a second number of frames by a second device based on the determination to control the bit rate of the content encoder. Each respective shaded texture atlas may include a respective plurality of shaded primitives. The method may include encoding, by the content encoder of the first device, a first shaded texture atlas of the first number of shaded texture atlases. The method may include transmitting, by the first device, the encoded first shaded texture atlas to the second device.

  • Publication number: 20130230214
    Abstract: Pose estimation is performed using a scene structure captured in a query image and reference images from a database. Each of the reference images has an associated position estimate. Direction vectors are generated that describe directions between an unknown position of a camera center for the query image and a reference camera center for each reference image based on the query image and the plurality of reference images. The direction vectors may be generated using, e.g., homographies, essential matrices, or fundamental matrices. A pose estimation with six degrees of freedom is determined using the direction vectors and the associated position estimate for each reference image. The pose estimation, for example, may be determined by solving a three-point pose problem using the direction vectors and the associated position estimate for each reference image.
