  • Publication number: 20240153219
    Abstract: A computer system displays a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras, including a representation of a portion of a three-dimensional physical environment that is in the field of view of the one or more cameras. The computer system receives a request to add a first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to receiving the request to add the first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras and in accordance with a determination that the first virtual effect requires a scan of the physical environment, the computer system initiates a scan of the physical environment to detect one or more features of the physical environment and displays a user interface that indicates a progress of the scan of the physical environment.

  • Patent number: 10515261
    Abstract: Facial recognition algorithms may identify the faces of one or more people in a digital image. Multiple types of communication may be available for the different people in the digital image. A user interface may be presented indicating recognized faces along with the available forms of communication for the corresponding person. An indication of the total number of people available to be communicated with using each form of communication may be presented. The user may have the option to choose one or more forms of communication, causing the digital image to be sent to the recipients using the selected forms of communication. An individual may have provided information for facial recognition of the individual to a service. Based on the information, the service may recognize that the individual is in an uploaded picture and send the digital image to the user account of the individual.

  • Patent number: 9349206
    Abstract: In one aspect, in general, a method includes receiving, in a user interface of a video editing application executing on a computer system, an indication from a user of the video editing application to edit an animated object associated with a video clip displayed in the user interface, receiving, by the video editing application executing on the computer system, data specifying an editing location of the animated object, and determining, by the video editing application executing on the computer system, a frame of the video clip associated with the editing location of the animated object, the determination based on the data specifying the editing location of the animated object. Other aspects may include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.

  • Patent number: 7859543
    Abstract: Displaying an image is described. A method for displaying an image includes determining, for each of multiple images, metric associated with the image. The multiple images are displayed in a view in which each of the multiple images is associated with at least one visually perceivable attribute that reflects at least the determined metric. The attributes that reflect the metrics are logically independent of the metrics. In one implementation, the metric relates to a significance value associated with the image. In one implementation, the visually perceivable attribute relates to a size with which the multiple images are displayed in relation to each other.
