Abstract: Implementations are described herein for auditing performance of large-scale tasks. In various implementations, one or more ground-level vision sensors may capture a first set of one or more images that depict an agricultural plot prior to an agricultural task being performed in the agricultural plot, and a second set of one or more images that depict the agricultural plot subsequent to the agricultural task being performed in the agricultural plot. The first and second sets of images may be processed in situ using edge computing device(s) based on a machine learning model to generate respective pluralities of pre-task and post-task inferences about the agricultural plot. Performance of the agricultural task may include comparing the pre-task inferences to the post-task inferences to generate operational metric(s) about the performance of the agricultural task in the agricultural plot. The operational metric(s) may be presented at one or more output devices.

Abstract: A spatial direction of a wearable device that represents an actual viewing direction of the wearable device is determined. The spatial direction of the wearable device is used to select, from a multi-view image comprising single-view images, a set of single-view images. A display image is caused to be rendered on a device display of the wearable device. The display image represents a single-view image as viewed from the actual viewing direction of the wearable device. The display image is constructed based on the spatial direction of the wearable device and the set of single-view images.

Abstract: Head pose tracking technique embodiments are presented that use a group of sensors configured so as to be disposed on a user's head. This group of sensors includes a depth sensor apparatus used to identify the three dimensional locations of features within a scene, and at least one other type of sensor. Data output by each sensor in the group of sensors is periodically input, and each time the data is input it is used to compute a transformation matrix that when applied to a previously determined head pose location and orientation established when the first sensor data was input identifies a current head pose location and orientation. This transformation matrix is then applied to the previously determined head pose location and orientation to identify a current head pose location and orientation.

Abstract: A three-dimensional pose of the head of a subject is determined based on depth data captured in multiple images. The multiple images of the head are captured, e.g., by an RGBD camera. A rotation matrix and translation vector of the pose of the head relative to a reference pose is determined using the depth data. For example, arbitrary feature points on the head may be extracted in each of the multiple images and provided along with corresponding depth data to an Extended Kalman filter with states including a rotation matrix and a translation vector associated with the reference pose for the head and a current orientation and a current position. The three-dimensional pose of the head with respect to the reference pose is then determined based on the rotation matrix and the translation vector.
