  • Publication number: 20130002698
    Abstract: Techniques for displaying content using an augmented reality device are described. Embodiments provide a visual scene for display, the visual scene captured using one or more camera devices of the augmented reality device. Embodiments adjust physical display geometry characteristics of the visual scene to correct for optimal projection. Additionally, illumination characteristics of the visual scene are modified based on environmental illumination data to improve realism of the visual scene when it is displayed. Embodiments further adjust display characteristics of the visual scene to improve tone mapping output. The adjusted visual scene is then output for display on the augmented reality device.

  • Publication number: 20120182299
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing image space reprojection iteratively. An insignificant parallax threshold depth is computed for a source image. Portions of the image having depth values greater than the insignificant parallax threshold depth may be shifted uniformly to produce corresponding portions of the reprojection (target) image. An iterative fixed-point reprojection algorithm is used to reproject the portions of the source image having depth values less than or equal to the insignificant parallax threshold depth. The fixed point reprojection algorithm quickly converges on the best pixel in the source image for each pixel in a target image representing an offset view of the source image. An additional rendering pass is employed to fill disoccluded regions of the target image, where the reprojection algorithm fails to converge.

  • Publication number: 20110176067
    Abstract: Projection systems and methods handle images to be viewable on a concave surface, wherein the projected image is modified to account for surface-to-surface reflections due to the concave surface, by determining geometric surface parameters, determining the ideal image, determining a model for reflected light that is a result of surface-to-surface reflections given the ideal image, wherein the model is expressible in closed form, determining a compensation image to compensate for at least some of the surface-to-surface reflections, taking into account at least the ideal image and the reflected light, and combining the compensation image and the ideal image to form a projectable image that can be projected onto a surface having the determined geometric parameters. The surface can be defined by a portion of an interior of a sphere and the reflection of a given pixel can be modeled as a constant over the concave surface.

  • Patent number: 4165867
    Abstract: An installation for nitriding-sulphiding of steel and cast-iron articles including an enclosed tank, and a retort containing sulphur and placed in the interior of the tank. The retort is surrounded with a heating device. The tank is provided at its top with two pipe connectors. One connector is connected with the container of ammonia and the other connector is connected with the furnace for chemical and heat treatment of the articles. The ammonia flows from its container to the tank with a retort containing sulphur, wherefrom after being mixed with the vapors of sulphur, it flows out to the furnace in which the articles to be treated are placed. In the furnace at a temperature of 400.degree.-700.degree. C., the nitrogen and sulphur diffuse to the surface layer of the treated articles, thus producing the required sulphides in the nitrided layer.
