  • Publication number: 20190020817
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automated operations involving acquiring and analyzing information from an interior of a house, building or other structure, for use in generating and providing a representation of that interior. Such techniques may include using a user's mobile device to capture video data from multiple viewing locations (e.g., 360° video at each viewing location) within multiple rooms, and capturing data linking the multiple viewing locations (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20190020816
    Abstract: Techniques are described for automated operations involving capturing and analyzing information from an interior of a house, building or other structure, for use in generating and providing a representation of that interior. Such techniques may include using a user's mobile device to capture visual data from multiple viewing locations (e.g., video captured while the mobile device is rotated for some or all of a full 360 degree rotation at each viewing location) within multiple rooms, capturing data linking the multiple viewing locations, analyzing each viewing location's visual data to create a panorama image from that viewing location, analyzing the linking data to determine relative positions/directions between at least some viewing locations, creating inter-panorama links in the panoramas to each of one or more other panoramas based on such determined positions/directions, and providing information to display multiple linked panorama images to represent the interior.

  • Publication number: 20180366345
    Abstract: A wire and a method of manufacturing are provided the wire for use in an organic light emitting diode device includes three parts, a first part and a third part are located at both ends of the wire respectively and each of the first part and the third part is a single wire, a second part is located between the first part and the third part, and the second part is a composite wire, wherein the composite wire comprises at least two wires. By dividing a middle part of one wire into multiple wires, the purpose of changing a wire width of a single wire is achieved, ductility of the wire can be enhanced, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the problem that the device cannot normally work caused by wire fracture during folding, and improving the using efficiency of the device.

  • Publication number: 20180341291
    Abstract: Provided are a flexible electronic device and a manufacturing method thereof. The flexible electronic device (200) comprises a flexible substrate (210) and a device layer formed on the flexible substrate (210). The device layer comprises a semiconductor structure (220) and a wire structure (230) connected to the semiconductor structure, the wire structure (230) having an extension direction same to a channel direction of the semiconductor structure (220). The extension direction of the first wire structure (230) forms an included angle smaller than 90° with respect to a stretching direction of the flexible substrate (210).

  • Publication number: 20180097119
    Abstract: A thin film transistor and a preparation method thereof are provided. The thin film transistor includes an upper gate electrode, a lower gate electrode, an upper insulating layer, a lower insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode. The lower insulating layer is arranged on the lower gate electrode, the semiconductor layer is arranged on the lower insulating layer, the semiconductor layer is respectively lapped with the source electrode and the drain electrode, the upper insulating layer covers the semiconductor layer, and the upper gate electrode is arranged on the upper insulating layer. In a plane parallel to a conducting channel, there is a first gap between an orthographic projection of the upper gate electrode and an orthographic projection of the source electrode, and there is a second gap between the orthographic projection of the upper gate electrode and an orthographic projection of the drain electrode.

  • Patent number: 9454796
    Abstract: Systems and methods for aligning ground based images of a geographic area taken from a perspective at or near ground level and a set of aerial images taken from, for instance, an oblique perspective, are provided. More specifically, candidate aerial imagery can be identified for alignment with the ground based image. Geometric data associated with the ground based image can be obtained and used to warp the ground based image to a perspective associated with the candidate aerial imagery. One or more feature matches between the warped image and the candidate aerial imagery can then be identified using a feature matching technique. The matched features can be used to align the ground based image with the candidate aerial imagery.
