  • Publication number: 20250252528
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a parser configured to decimate a source image to produce a decimated image according to a pre-distortion geometry for the source image, and partition the decimated image into image portions according to a first clock rate. The apparatus includes warping engines coupled to the parser and configured to pre-distort, according to a second clock rate, respective image portions to produce respective pre-distorted image portions according to the pre-distortion geometry. The apparatus also includes a combiner coupled to the warping engines and configured to combine the pre-distorted image portions, according to the first clock rate, to form a pre-distorted image of the source image. The apparatus further includes a processor configured to process the pre-distorted image to produce a processed image for projection by a light modulator and one or more light sources.

  • Patent number: 12212899
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a first camera configured to capture a first image being displayed, a second camera configured to capture a second image being displayed, and a processor configured to generate a pair-wise homography transform for the first camera and the second camera, and map, based on the pair-wise homography transform, the second image from a second frame of reference of the second camera to a first frame of reference of the first camera. The processor is further configured to determine a first corrected quadrilateral for the first image and a second corrected quadrilateral for the second image in the first frame of reference, and project, based on the pair-wise homography transform, the second corrected quadrilateral from the first frame of reference to the second frame of reference. The quadrilaterals are then processed to warp respective images for geometric correction before projecting the images by respective projectors.

  • Publication number: 20240371081
    Abstract: Systems and methods for learning spaces of three-dimensional shape and appearance from datasets of single-view images can be utilized for generating view renderings of a variety of different objects and/or scenes. The systems and methods can be able to learn effectively from unstructured. “in-the-wild” data, without incurring the high cost of a full-image discriminator, and while avoiding problems such as mode-dropping that are inherent to adversarial methods.

  • Publication number: 20240295942
    Abstract: Disclosed is an operating system (OS) discovery mode that identifies and provides access to OS and/or third-party provided features within an applicable region of a desktop. In some configurations, once the discovery mode is activated, the content displayed by the applicable region is analyzed to identify content usable by OS and/or third-party provided features. Visual cues are rendered in the applicable region near the identified content, highlighting the availability of the OS and/or third-party provided features. Users may interact with the visual cues to manipulate the underlying content or to invoke the OS and/or third-party provided features. OS and/or third-party provided features may modify content displayed by an application, launch an inline micro-experience, crop or export images, etc. While in the discovery mode, visual cues are highlighted as a discovery mouse cursor moves around the desktop.

  • Patent number: 11892267
    Abstract: The buttstock assembly uses a modular design including interchangeable end attachments and sling strap connectors. The interchangeable end attachments allow the buttstock to have different toe heights and configurations for different shooting applications. The interchangeable strap connectors allow the use of either quick-disconnect style sling swivels or more traditional fixed strap loops as desired. The buttstock assembly also uses a “trigger” style locking mechanism to selectively position and lock the buttstock along the length of the extension tube to adjust the overall length of pull of the weapon.
