  • Patent number: 12488502
    Abstract: An illustrative camera calibration system accesses a set of images captured by one or more cameras at a scene. The set of images may each depict a same element of image content present at the scene, but may depict the element of image content differently in each image so as to show an apparent movement of the element from one image to another. The camera calibration system applies a structure-from-motion algorithm to the set of images to generate calibration parameters for the one or more cameras based on the apparent movement of the element of image content shown in the set of images. Additionally, the camera calibration system provides the calibration parameters for the one or more cameras to a 3D modeling system configured to model the scene based on the set of images. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11715270
    Abstract: An illustrative content augmentation system identifies a presentation context dataset indicating how an extended reality (XR) presentation device is to present XR content in connection with a presentation of primary content. Based on the presentation context dataset, the content augmentation system selects a subset of secondary content items from a set of secondary content items each configured for presentation as XR content that augments the presentation of the primary content. The content augmentation system also provides the selected subset of secondary content items for presentation by the XR presentation device in connection with the presentation of the primary content. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
