  • Publication number: 20190342324
    Abstract: Technology for detecting and remediating security vulnerabilities in view of one or more computing policies. An example method may involve receiving environment data of a computing environment, the environment data comprising a configuration value of a computing device in the computing environment; accessing an index data structure derived from a computing policy, wherein the index data structure associates an entry of the computing policy with one or more computing features of the computing environment; determining, by a processing device, whether a security vulnerability exists based on the environment data and the index data structure; and providing feedback regarding the security vulnerability and the computing policy.

  • Patent number: 10366534
    Abstract: A 3D voxel grid of an environment is generated, with a signed value assigned to each voxel representative of that voxel's distance from a nearest surface. For each subset of the 3D voxel grid comprising a surface, an initial surface mesh is generated. As new depth information is received, an updated surface is generated only for those subsets of the 3D voxel grid that exhibit greater than threshold change in signed values over time.

  • Patent number: 10165168
    Abstract: Ambiguous portions of an image which have fewer photons of a reflected light signal detected than required to determine depth can be classified as being dark (i.e., reflecting too few photons to derive depth) and/or far (i.e., beyond a range of a camera) based at least in part on expected depth and reflectivity values. Expected depth and reflectivity values for the ambiguous portions of the image may be determined by analyzing a model of an environment created by previously obtained images and depth and reflectivity values. The expected depth and reflectivity values may be compared to calibrated values for a depth sensing system to classify the ambiguous portions of the image as either dark or far based on the actual photon count detected for the image.

  • Publication number: 20180278910
    Abstract: A system for determining distances to features in a scene is disclosed. The system includes, among other features, a target portion identifier module, a target surface generator, a reflector selection module, a light transport simulation module, a depth measurement correction generation module, and a distance calculation module. The target portion identifier module is configured to identify a plurality of target portions of the scene. The target surface generator is configured to simulate a plurality of target surfaces. The reflector selection module is configured to select a first plurality of reflector surfaces from the plurality of target surfaces and a second plurality of reflector surfaces from the first plurality of reflector surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9824500
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for controlling virtual object placement and movement in a physical space as viewed on or through a display. An example method includes receiving a count indicating a number of occupancy transitions over time for a plurality of regions in the physical space, displaying a virtual object in an initial location selected based on the counts for each of the plurality of regions in the physical space, and determining an updated location of the virtual object in the physical space as viewed on or through the display based at least on the initial location of the virtual object and the counts for each of the plurality regions in the physical space. The example method further includes displaying the virtual object in the updated location, the virtual object being controlled to move in the physical space based at least on movements of physical objects through the physical space.
