Abstract: Trained segmentation, classification, and style transformation models are used to apply style effects to image segments corresponding to objects (e.g., a portrait of a person) present in an image. When depth information is included with a source image it may be used to segment, classify, and/or apply style transformation to an image or image segments (as the case may be). One or more of the segmentation, classification, and style transformations may be performed at a computing apparatus or as a service for example, in the cloud. A model management tool implemented at a server(s) may continuously train models using supervised or unsupervised training techniques to improve the quality of segmentation, classification and style transformation as well as add new capabilities. Updated models may be pushed to services offering image processing.

Abstract: A simplified and accelerated determination of how much of a display element, generated by instructions executing on a computing device, is displayed is achieved through approximations based on a two-dimensional array whose dimensions are commensurate with a size of the display element. Each entry in the array is initialized to one binary value. If the display element is cut off by either physical display boundaries or by boundaries of a host display element, or if it is overlapped by another element, then the entries in the array corresponding to those portions of the display element that are not visible are changed to another binary value. Subsequently, the quantity of entries in the array having the original, initialized binary value, as compared with the total quantity of entries in the array, can provide an accurate approximation for how much of the display element was displayed.

Abstract: A method for displaying continuous video content on a mobile phone LCD renders plural source video textures as consecutive surfaces on the display. A hardware scaler, rather than a general purpose graphical processing unit (GPU), is used to render a particular surface whenever possible, because it uses less battery power than the GPU. The method determines if the hardware scaler is capable of rendering a particular surface and if the particular surface is to be rendered with one or more additional images derived from a source other than a source video texture. The hardware scaler renders surfaces, including any additional images, if it is capable of doing so; otherwise the GPU renders the surface. The method is applied dynamically to each video texture in a video session, so that the manner of rendering each surface, whether by using the hardware scaler or the GPU, can change from surface to surface.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to a computer-implemented architecture that can generate a map. The map can be a hybrid between an orthographic projection map and street-side images, thus including useful aspects from both types of representations. For example, an orthographic projection map is very effective at presenting global relationships among the features of the map but not effective at presenting local detail. In contrast, street -side images show excellent detail but do not convey the global information of an orthographic projection map. The hybrid map can thus provide a richer set of information than conventional maps and can also display objects/features of the hybrid map in multiple perspectives simultaneously on a single representation that is printable.

Abstract: Image processing techniques are described that reduce the amount of bandwidth required to read an image from memory for display. According to the techniques, a processor stores low change rate display layers in a memory such that a processor can read the display layers from the memory using a reduced amount of processing resources. An overlay module blends low change rate display layers into a combined overlay layer. A processor reads the overlay layer from the memory and selectively processes the overlay layer based on processing information for the overlay layer recorded in memory. The processor then blends the overlay layer and a high change rate video display layer to update a single image for display according to a high change rate. In addition, the overlay module updates the overlay layer based on the low change rate display layers according to a low change rate.
