Abstract: A device includes at least one first sensor and at least one second sensor for capturing first image data, the at least one first and second sensors being rectangular and arranged orthogonal to the at least one first rectangular sensor, and at least one hardware processor configured to cause the at least one first and second sensors, respectively, the first image data and the second image data at least substantially simultaneously, and at least one of display simultaneously data from the first image data and data from the second image data as a cross-shaped image or store together data from the first image data and data from the second image data as a cross-shaped image. The resulting first and second image data can be stored in a single file in memory. The at least one hardware processor can be processed to remove redundancies between the image data. The device can also extract from the first and second image data, image data corresponding to a rectangle parallel with an horizon.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for generating an image from each camera array in a camera array matrix. In one embodiment, the method comprises increasing redundancy between to be captured images from the camera matrix by rotating direction of any cameras disposed in upper and lower rows of said matrix by a 90 degree angle around the roll axis. Then any cameras disposed at the corners of the matrix are rotated in an angle that is less than 90 degrees around the roll axis. Subsequently, the location of central cameras are determined and analysed so that they can be rotated and disposed in a manner that provides both horizontal and vertical compensation for any redundancies.

Abstract: A method is proposed for detecting occlusions in an image captured by a light field capturing system, comprising, for at least one reference image belonging to a matrix of images captured by the light field capturing system: —calculating a depth map and a visibility map for pixels in the reference image; —determining at least one candidate area in the reference image in which the potential occlusion may occur based at least on a segmentation of the depth map; —determining an information representative of an occlusion state in the at least one candidate area based at least on visibility values of the visibility map associated with at least two neighborhoods of the at least one candidate area.

Abstract: Some embodiments of a method may include defining a triggering area, the triggering area having a border with the border being arranged, at least partially, within a positioning zone for observing a multi view content displayed on a display based on a position of a viewer; and when the viewer position is located within the triggering area, triggering one or more incentive effects. Some embodiments of an apparatus may include a processor; and a memory-storing device storing instructions operative, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to: define a triggering area, the triggering area having a border with the border being arranged, at least partially, within a positioning zone, for observing a multi view content displayed on a display based on a position of a viewer; and when the viewer position is located within the triggering area, trigger one or more incentive effects.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a method for displaying, on a 2D display device, a content derived from 4D light field data, based on a viewing position of a user. The 4D light field data corresponds to data acquired by either several cameras or by a plenoptic device.

Abstract: A method and device for filtering a content menu. A list including two or more content items to be filtered is displayed. One or more selectable filters associated to a first hierarchy of filters are displayed. Responsive to detecting a first user input, a first filter in the first hierarchy of filters is selected, the list of content items is automatically filtered, and one or more selectable filters associated to a second hierarchy of filters is automatically provided. Responsive to detecting a second direction user input a second filter in the second hierarchy of filters is selected, the list of content items is automatically filtered according to the first and the second filters; and the filtered list of content items is displayed. The filtered list of content items includes a subset of the content items of the initially displayed list of content items.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for classifying multimedia file are described. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining at least one feature of the first multimedia file; determining at least one second multimedia file which is relevant to the first multimedia file according to the obtained at least one feature; attributing at least one parameter for classification of the first multimedia file to the first multimedia file, wherein the at least one parameter is weighted as a statistical function of the occurrence of the at least one parameter for the at least one second multimedia file.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for displaying a program guide is proposed. The program guide contains a list of channels and a time scale and the programs which are receivable within a time represented by the time scale are displayed. The programs which are displayed correspond to the channel on which the programs are received. The inventive method further contains the following steps: checking if a specific program is selected, if a program is selected, checking if the time scale includes the start time and the end time of the program, if the time scale does not include the start time or the end time of the program, adapting the time scale such that it includes the start time and the end time of the program, and displaying the program guide using the adapted time scale.
