Abstract: A video stitching system combines video from different cameras to form a panoramic video that, in various embodiments, is temporally stable and tolerant to strong parallax. In an embodiment, the system provides a smooth spatial interpolation that can be used to connect the input video images. In an embodiment, the system applies an interpolation layer to slices of the overlapping video sources, and the network learns a dense flow field to smoothly align the input videos with spatial interpolation. Various embodiments are applicable to areas such as virtual reality, immersive telepresence, autonomous driving, and video surveillance.

Abstract: Hyperlapse results are generated from wide-angled, panoramic video. A set of wide-angled, panoramic video data is obtained. Video stabilization is performed on the obtained set of wide-angled, panoramic video data. Without user intervention, a smoothed camera path is automatically determined using at least one region of interest that is determined using saliency detection and semantically segmented frames of stabilized video data resulting from the video stabilization. A set of frames is determined to vary the velocity of wide-angled, panoramic rendered display of the hyperlapse results.

Abstract: A method to provide low dielectric constant voids between adjacent conducting lines in a semiconductor device. Narrowly spaced metal lines are formed on the substrate surface. A dielectric layer is deposited overlying the metal lines and the substrate surface. A high water content, water saturated, environment is created for the spin-on-glass process. A pseudo-water condition exists on the surface of the dielectric layer prior to the deposition of the spin-on-glass layer. The spin-on-glass layer is deposited overlying the dielectric layer. Voids form in the spin-on-glass layer between the narrowly spaced metal lines. The spin-on-glass layer is baked. The integrated circuit device is completed.
