  • Publication number: 20230315779
    Abstract: A method includes tagging, by at least one processor, one or more three-dimensional assets with a unique identifier and storing the one or more three-dimensional assets in a database, creating, by the at least one processor, a three-dimensional model based on the one or more three-dimensional assets and loading the three-dimensional model in a simulator, generating, by the at least one processor, a two-dimensional image that is a representation of the three-dimensional model in the simulator, the two-dimensional image comprising metadata that includes each unique identifier for each three-dimensional asset of the three-dimensional model displayed in the two-dimensional image, and assigning, by the at least one processor, the two-dimensional image with a unique identifier and storing each unique identifier for each three-dimensional asset of the three-dimensional model displayed in the two-dimensional image in metadata for the two-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 8264541
    Abstract: A compound camera system for generating an enhanced virtual image having a large depth-of-field. The compound camera system comprises a plurality of component cameras for generating image data of an object and a data processor for generating the enhanced virtual image from the image data. The data processor generates the enhanced virtual image by generating a first component virtual image at a first depth plane, generating a second component virtual image at a second depth plane, and inserting first selected pixels from the first component virtual image into enhanced the virtual image and inserting second selected pixels from the second component virtual image into the enhanced virtual image.

  • Patent number: 7268804
    Abstract: A compound camera system comprising component cameras that generate image data of an object and a processor that receives first image data from a first component camera and second image data from a second component camera and generates a virtual image. The processor projects virtual pixel data (u,v) to generate point data (x,y,z) located at depth, z=Z1, of a object plane of the object and projects the said point data (x,y,z) to generate first pixel data (u1,v1) located at a image plane of the first image. The processor also projects said point data (x,y,z) located at the depth, z=Z1, of the said object plane to generate second pixel data (u2,v2) located at the second image.
