  • Patent number: 11790569
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for inserting imagery from a real environment into a virtual environment. While presenting (e.g., displaying) the virtual environment at an electronic device, a proximity of the electronic device to a physical object located in a real environment is detected. In response to detecting that the proximity of the electronic device to the physical object is less than a first threshold distance, imagery of the physical object is isolated from other imagery of the real environment. The isolated imagery of the physical object is inserted into the virtual environment at a location corresponding to the location of the physical object in the real environment. The imagery of the physical object has a first visibility value associated with the proximity of the electronic device to the physical object.

  • Publication number: 20230281834
    Abstract: A method of tracking 3D position and orientation of an entity in a moving platform is described. The method comprises receiving data sensed by an inertial measurement unit mounted on the entity. Visual tracking data is also received, computed from images depicting the moving platform or the entity in the moving platform. The method computes the 3D position and orientation of the entity by estimating a plurality of states using the visual tracking data and the data sensed by the inertial measurement unit, where the states comprise both states of the moving platform and states of the entity.

  • Publication number: 20230276211
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for defining a network slice template (NST) for provisioning a network slice based on one or more network slice subnet templates (NSSTs). For example, a network provisioning system obtains one or more NSSTs. The one or more NSSTs may include a domain-level NSST for a domain-specific network service or a root-level NSST for an end-to-end network service. The network provisioning system defines an NST based on the one or more NSSTs. The network provisioning system deploys a network slice in accordance with the NST. In some examples, the network slice is a 5G communications network slice.

  • Patent number: 11736822
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first plurality of image frames that are provided by an image sensor at a first output rate. The method includes determining a GPU temporal processing value characterizing the GPU processing of the first plurality of image frames. The GPU temporal processing value is a function of an amount of information associated with the first plurality of image frames. The method includes determining an operation value associated with the image sensor based on a function of the GPU temporal processing value. The operation value modifies the operation of the image sensor. The method includes changing, using a controller, the operation of the image sensor as a function of the operation value so that the image sensor provides a second plurality of image frames at a second output rate.
