Abstract: Techniques related to vision correction are disclosed. The techniques involve establishing a visual model associated with a patient. The visual model includes data related to a quality of the patient's vision. A boundary is established as a function of the data associated with the visual model. The boundary is indicative of an area to be corrected within the patient's vision. A retinal map is established as a function of the boundary. An image from a camera associated with the patient is captured and corrections are applied to the image based on the retinal map to generate a corrected image. The corrected image is presented to the eye of the patient.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for identifying and extracting object-related effects in videos. Given an ordinary video and a rough segmentation mask overtime of one or more subjects of interest, example systems proposed herein can estimate an omnimatte for each subject—an alpha matte and color image that includes the subject along with all its related time-varying scene elements. Example implementations of the proposed models can be trained only on the input video in a self-supervised manner, without any manual labels, and are generic. For example, the models can produce omnimattes automatically for arbitrary objects and a variety of effects.

Abstract: A display has an image generator; a partially transmissive mirror having a curved surface; a beam splitter to reflect incident light toward the curved surface; and an optical image relay that defines a path to relay light to a curved focal surface of a partially transmissive mirror, the curved focal surface is between a curved reflective surface of the partial mirror and the beam splitter. A prism has a folding surface in the optical path for light from the image generator, wherein an aperture stop for the relay lies within the prism. A first plano-aspheric lens, against the prism input surface, guides light from the image generator toward the folding surface; a second plano-aspheric lens, in optical contact against the prism output surface, directs light to the curved focal surface. The relay, curved mirror, and beam splitter form an exit pupil for viewing the scene with a 2D image superimposed.
