Abstract: A method for searching an AD insertion position includes following steps: S1. identifying a human body area in a video image; S2. identifying a blank wall area in the video image; and S3. determining the AD insertion position in the blank wall area in the video image, so that the AD insertion position intersects the human body area. A method for automatically inserting an advertisement AD in a video includes following steps: determining an AD insertion position in the video by searching a product AD insertion position based on deep learning, and inserting the AD on the position. Through the method, an appropriate position for an AD can be automatically searched on a blank wall part in the video. In addition, the inserted AD can be presented in the video in a natural way, and thereby avoiding or reducing the impact of AD insertion on impression of the video.

Abstract: An electronic device having a display on one side of the device and one or more image sensors on the opposite side of the device captures image data using the one or more image sensors. The display displays a portion of the captured image data on the display and a first graphical object overlaid on the displayed portion of the captured image data. A user gesture is detected using the one or more image sensors. In accordance with a determination that the detected user gesture meets a set of criteria, a position of the graphical object is updated based on the user gesture or is the first graphical object is replaced with a second graphical object. In accordance with a determination that the detected user gesture does not meet a set of criteria, the display of the first graphical object is maintained.

In accordance with a determination that the foreground portion matches a predefined gesture in the database, the device determines whether one or more subsequent video frames matches the one or more predefined gestures to produce a recognized gesture.

Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for receiving a plurality of live video frames; identifying one or more target objects and one or more non-target objects in a first live video frame of the plurality of live video frames, by at least one trained deep neural network; identifying one or more sets of pixels belonging to the one or more target objects; identifying an area on a surface of the one or more target objects, based on the identified one or more sets of pixels belonging to the one or more target objects; overlaying one or more predetermined graphical images onto the area on the surface of the one or more target objects in the plurality of live video frames; and overlaying the one or more non-target objects onto the one or more predetermined graphical images in the plurality of live video frames to form a processed live video.

Abstract: An electronic device having a display, memory, and an image sensor captures image data from the image sensor. The device receives a selection of a background image from a user of the electronic device. The background image 100is not based on image data from the image sensor. The device displays a view on the display or view-fmder. The view is based on the captured image data and the selected background image. The device receives first user input at the electronic device. The displayed view is updated by modifying the background image in accordance with the first user input while maintaining the display of the captured image data. The device stores the view as image data in the memory.

Abstract: At an electronic device coupled to a display, a communication interface, and a first image sensor, first image data is captured from the first image sensor. Second image data is received over the communication interface from a first remote device. The display displays a portion of the second image data with a portion of the first image data. The displayed portion of the second image data obscures some of the first image data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to augmented reality (AR) environments where AR objects, such as intelligent virtual objects, interactively respond to ambient environmental changes. Image data are captured from one or more sensors, augmented reality environments are generated based on the image data, environmental parameters are detected from one or more environmental sensors, and views of the generated AR environment are displayed. Some views include the AR object existing therein, for instance when the detected environmental parameters satisfy certain criteria. Other views do not include the AR object while such criteria are not met.
