  • Publication number: 20210312702
    Abstract: Images of an object may be captured at a computing device. Each of the images may be captured from a respective viewpoint based on image capture configuration information identifying one or more parameter values. A multiview image digital media representation of the object may be generated that includes some or all of the images of the object and that is navigable in one or more dimensions.

  • Patent number: 10958891
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. In particular, a multi-view interactive digital media representation (MVIDMR) of an object can be generated from live images of an object captured from a camera. After the MVIDMR of the object is generated, a tag can be placed at a location on the object in the MVIDMR. The locations of the tag in the frames of the MVIDMR can vary from frame to frame as the view of the object changes. When the tag is selected, media content can be output which shows details of the object at location where the tag is placed. In one embodiment, the object can be car and tags can be used to link to media content showing details of the car at the locations where the tags are placed.

  • Patent number: 10855936
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. In particular, a multi-view interactive digital media representation (MVIDMR) of a person can be generated from live images of a person captured from a hand-held camera. Using the image data from the live images, a skeleton of the person and a boundary between the person and a background can be determined from different viewing angles and across multiple images. Using the skeleton and the boundary data, effects can be added to the person, such as wings. The effects can change from image to image to account for the different viewing angles of the person captured in each image.

  • Patent number: 10750161
    Abstract: Various embodiments describe systems and processes for capturing and generating multi-view interactive digital media representations for display on a user device. In one aspect, a mobile device is provided which comprises a display, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory. The one or more programs comprise instructions for locking the mobile device, and providing a lock screen on the display in a lock mode upon receiving user input for accessing the mobile device. The lock screen may display a multi-view interactive digital media representation (MIDMR) which provides an interactive three-dimensional representation of an object that is responsive to user interaction with the mobile device. The MIDMR may respond to spatial and movement sensors in the mobile device. The mobile device may be unlocked for use upon receiving user identification input, which may include maneuvering the MIDMR in a predetermined pattern.
