Publication number: 20250103096Abstract: A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. The optical assemblies may be mounted in a head-mounted device housing. The head-mounted device housing may be supported at the front of the head of a user in front of the user's eyes using head-mounted support structures such as straps. The straps may include a rear strap and an overhead strap. A counterweight may be provided at the rear of the user's head to counterbalance the weight of the head-mounted device housing. The counterweight may be coupled to a rigid portion of the head-mounted housing at a connection. A clutch may be provided to allow the rotational orientation of the counterweight to be adjusted about the connection. A sliding mass in the counterweight may also be adjusted. These adjustments alter the amount of counterbalancing created by the counterweight to counterbalance the head-mounted device housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: James T. Smith, Jered Singleton, John S. Camp, Venkata Narayana Murthy Arelekatti

Patent number: 9202259Abstract: Automatic generation of a mosaic comprising a plurality of geospatial images. An embodiment of the automatic mosaic generation may include automated source image selection that includes comparison of source images to base layer image to determine radiometric similar source images. Additionally, an embodiment of an automatic cutline generator may be provided to automatically determine a cutline when merging two images such that radiometric differences between the images along the cutline are reduced. In this regard, less perceivable outlines may be provided. Further still, an embodiment of a radiometric normalization module may be provided that may determine radiometric adjustments to source images to match certain properties of the base layer image. In some embodiments, when processing source images, the source images may be downsampled during a portion of the processing to reduce computational overhead.
