  • Publication number: 20250061647
    Abstract: A scene modeling system accesses a set of input two-dimensional (2D) images of a three-dimensional (3D) environment, wherein the input 2D images captured from a plurality of camera orientations. The environment includes first content. The scene modeling system applies a scene generation model to the set of input 2D images to generate a 3D remix scene. Applying the scene generation model includes configuring the scene generation model using at least a 2D discriminator and a 3D discriminator. Applying the scene generation model includes transmitting, for display via a user interface, the 3D remix scene. The 3D remix scene includes second content that is different from the first content.

  • Publication number: 20240355016
    Abstract: A method for creating a metamer for an image for a display, the method comprising receiving a first input image, dividing the input image into a plurality of regions comprising a foveal region and at least one peripheral region, wherein each region of the plurality of regions comprises a plurality of pixels, determining, for each of the at least one peripheral region, the distribution of statistics associated with each of the at least one peripheral region, for each of the at least one peripheral region, identifying a metamer for the peripheral region wherein the metamer has similar and/or identical distribution of statistics to the associated peripheral region, and creating an output image based on the foveal region and the metamer for each of the at least one peripheral region such that the peripheral region of the output image is perceived to be the same as the peripheral region of the input image when perceived by a viewer of the image.

  • Publication number: 20210225049
    Abstract: A method for rasterizing part of an image for a display, the image comprising one or more primitives, the method comprising for a first primitive in the image: calculating a distortion of the primitive, said distortion dependent on a determination of how the primitive will be perceived by a user when displayed on a display; distorting the primitive based on the calculation of the distortion to define a distorted primitive; defining a new primitive to be rendered by: bounding the distorted primitive with a polygon; and defining the new primitive based on the intersection of pixels from both the first primitive and the polygon of the distorted primitive.

  • Publication number: 20140218488
    Abstract: According to the invention, a computer-implemented method for processing digital stereo image content, comprises the steps of estimating a perceived disparity of the stereo image content and processing the stereo image content, based on the estimated perceived disparity.

  • Publication number: 20130207951
    Abstract: A method for displaying a digital image on a display, the digital image having a higher resolution than the display, the method includes: generating a sequence of digital subimages having display resolution, based on the digital image; and displaying the digital subimages in sequence; characterized in that the sequence of digital subimages are generated based on a model of the retina.
