For each scene centroid, the method includes determining a distance between the respective scene centroid and a target fingerprint of a corresponding target frame of the media stream and determining a target scene of the target frame as being the respective scene of the scene centroid having a shortest distance to the target fingerprint of the target frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventor: Juikun Chen

Patent number: 10911732Abstract: An estimated camera pose may be determined for each of a plurality of single plane images of a designated three-dimensional scene. The sampling density of the single plane images may be below the Nyquist rate. However, the sampling density of the single plane images may be sufficiently high such that the single plane images is sufficiently high such that they may be promoted to multiplane images and used to generate novel viewpoints in a light field reconstruction framework. Scene depth information identifying for each of a respective plurality of pixels in the single plane image a respective depth value may be determined for each single plane image. A respective multiplane image including a respective plurality of depth planes may be determined for each single plane image. Each of the depth planes may include a respective plurality of pixels from the respective single plane image.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Fyusion, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Kar, Rodrigo Ortiz Cayon, Ben Mildenhall, Stefan Johannes Josef Holzer, Radu Bogdan Rusu

Patent number: 10893250Abstract: A respective target viewpoint may be rendered for each of a plurality of multiplane images of a three-dimensional scene. Each of the multiplane images may be associated with a respective single plane image of the three-dimensional scene captured from a respective viewpoint. Each of the multiplane images may include a respective plurality of depth planes. Each of the depth planes may include a respective plurality of pixels from the respective single plane image. Each of the pixels in the depth plane may be positioned at approximately the same distance from the respective viewpoint. A weighted combination of the target viewpoint renderings may be determined, where the sampling density of the single plane images is sufficiently high that the weighted combination satisfies the inequality in Equation (7). The weighted combination of the target viewpoint renderings may be transmitted as a novel viewpoint image.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Fyusion, Inc.Inventors: Abhishek Kar, Rodrigo Ortiz Cayon, Ben Mildenhall, Stefan Johannes Josef Holzer, Radu Bogdan Rusu

Patent number: 10831269Abstract: A system controls a brightness of an augmented reality (AR) eye-mounted device. The system includes an eye-mounted display, a photodetector system, and a controller. The eye-mounted display includes a contact lens and a femtoprojector. The femtoprojector is contained in the contact lens and is configured to project an AR image to a user's retina. The AR image is overlaid on an external scene viewed by the user through the contact lens. The photodetector system detects a brightness level of the external scene. Based on the brightness level of the external scene, the controller adjusts a brightness level of the AR image projected to the user's retina. In some embodiments, the eye-mounted display receives image data defining the AR image and the controller adjusts a bit depth of the image data based on the brightness level of the AR image.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: Tectus CorporationInventors: Brian Elliot Lemoff, Michael West Wiemer, Paul Scott Martin, Hansong Zhang, Drew Daniel Perkins
