Abstract: A method including: receiving visible-light images captured using camera(s) and depth data corresponding to said images; identifying image segments of visible-light image that represent objects or their parts belonging to different material categories; detecting whether at least two adjacent image segments in visible-light image pertain to at least two different material categories related to same object category; and when it is detected that at least two adjacent image segments pertain to at least two different material categories related to same object category, identifying at least two adjacent depth segments of depth data corresponding to at least two adjacent image segments; and correcting errors in optical depths represented in at least one of at least two adjacent depth segments, based on optical depths represented in remaining of at least two adjacent depth segments.

Abstract: An imaging system including visible-light camera(s), depth sensor(s), pose-tracking means, and server(s) configured to: control visible-light camera(s) and depth sensor(s) to capture visible-light images and depth images of real-world environment, respectively, whilst processing pose-tracking data to determine poses of visible-light camera(s) and depth sensor(s); reconstruct three-dimensional lighting model of real-world environment representative of lighting in different regions of real-world environment; receive, from client application, request message comprising information indicative of location in real-world environment where virtual object(s) is to be placed; utilise three-dimensional lighting model to create sample lighting data for said location, wherein sample lighting data is representative of lighting at given location in real-world environment; and provide client application with sample lighting data.

Abstract: A system, article, and method to perform deep learning-based automatic white balancing uses a neural network in conjunction with other non-neural network automatic white balancing algorithms.
