Abstract: A light field panorama system in which a user holding a mobile device performs a gesture to capture images of a scene from different positions. Additional information, for example position and orientation information, may also be captured. The images and information may be processed to determine metadata including the relative positions of the images and depth information for the images. The images and metadata may be stored as a light field panorama. The light field panorama may be processed by a rendering engine to render different 3D views of the scene to allow a viewer to explore the scene from different positions and angles with six degrees of freedom. Using a rendering and viewing system such as a mobile device or head-mounted display, the viewer may see behind or over objects in the scene, zoom in or out on the scene, or view different parts of the scene.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to operations, systems, and computer readable media to capture images of a scene using a camera array and process the captured images based on a viewer's point of view (POV) for immersive augmented reality, live display wall, head mounted display, video conferencing, and similar applications. In one implementation, the disclosed subject matter provides a complete view to a viewer by combining images captured by a camera array. In another implementation, the disclosed subject matter tracks the viewer's POV as he moves from one location to another and displays images in accordance with his varying POV. The change of the viewer's POV is inclusive of movements in the X, Y, and Z dimensions.

Abstract: A user-specified layout of graphic objects is received. A relative layout specification is derived from the user-specified layout. The relative layout specification describes relative positions of the graphic objects. A final layout of the graphic objects is determined in accordance with the relative layout specification. The final layout includes a specification of size dimensions and positions of the graphic objects on a page. The final layout of graphic objects is output.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a sensing application includes a body having a cavity containing an opening. The apparatus also includes a plurality of nano-fingers positioned in the cavity and a destructible cover covering the opening in the cavity to protect the plurality of nano-fingers, wherein the destructible cover is to be destroyed to enable access to the plurality of nano-fingers.

Abstract: There is disclosed a data processor having a clustered architecture that comprises at least one branching cluster, at least one non-branching cluster and remote conditional branching control circuitry. Each of the clusters is capable of computing branch conditions, though only the branching cluster is operable to perform branch address computations. The remote conditional branching control circuitry, which is associated with each of the clusters, is operable in response to sensing a conditional branch instruction in a non-branching cluster to (i) cause the branching cluster to compute a branch address and a next program counter address, (ii) cause the non-branching cluster to compute a branch condition, and (iii) communicate the computed branch condition from the non-branching cluster to the branching cluster. The data processor then uses the computed branch condition to select one of the branch address or the next program counter address.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically producing a page using frames of a video stream. A plurality of video frames from a video stream or clip are read, and multiple frames are extracted from the video stream, based on the content of each frame. Frames which neighbor the extracted frames in the video stream are also extracted, with the number of neighboring frames to be extracted being controlled by parameters provided to the page production system. The resolution of the images in the extracted video frames is enhanced, based on the information in each extracted frame and each respective extracted neighboring frame. The enhanced images are automatically cropped to enhance the important features in each image, and the cropped images are composed into one or more pages that are representative of the content of the video stream.

Abstract: Systems and methods according to the present invention provide the capability to identify, record and employ object reuse in print jobs. Reuse information, e.g., a number of instances of a particular object and/or the pages wherein the object is used, is identified as part of print job processing. Subsequent printing process, e.g., object caching and print job partitioning, can then use the reuse information.

Abstract: A data object of a data file that causes an error in an application is identified. In a method for identifying the data object, the data file is processed with the application and the interactions between the application and an operating system are intercepted. The intercepted interactions are correlated with the error and the data object of the data file is correlated with at least one of the intercepted interactions to identify the data object that causes the error.

Abstract: A data processor includes execution clusters, an instruction cache, an instruction issue unit, and alignment and dispersal circuitry. Each execution cluster includes an instruction execution pipeline having a number of processing stages, and each execution pipeline is a number of lanes wide. The processing stages execute instruction bundles, where each instruction bundle has one or more syllables. Each lane is capable of receiving one of the syllables of an instruction bundle. The instruction cache includes a number of cache lines. The instruction issue unit receives fetched cache lines and issues complete instruction bundles toward the execution clusters. The alignment and dispersal circuitry receives the complete instruction bundles from the instruction issue unit and routes each received complete instruction bundle to a correct one of the execution clusters. The complete instruction bundles are routed as a function of at least one address bit associated with each complete instruction bundle.

Abstract: There is disclosed a data processor containing an instruction issue unit that efficiently transfers instruction bundles from a cache to an instruction pipeline. The data processor comprises 1) an instruction pipeline comprising N processing stages; and 2) an instruction issue unit for fetching into the instruction pipeline instructions fetched from the instruction cache, each of the fetched instructions comprising from one to S syllables.
