Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a video flashlight method. This method creates virtual images of a scene using a dynamically updated three-dimensional model of the scene and at least one video sequence of images. An estimate of the camera pose is generated by comparing a present image to the three-dimensional model. Next, relevant features of the model are selected based on the estimated pose. The relevant features are then virtually projected onto the estimated pose and matched to features of the image. Matching errors are measured between the relevant features of the virtual projection and the features of the image. The estimated pose is then updated to reduce these matching errors. The model is also refined with updated information from the image. Meanwhile, a viewpoint for a virtual image is selected. The virtual image is then created by projecting the dynamically updated three-dimensional model onto the selected virtual viewpoint.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed that estimate the brightness or other feature values of unchanging or slowly changing regions of an image in a sequence of video images even when the regions is obscured by objects over large portions of the video sequence. The apparatus and method generate a histogram for each image region position over a plurality of image frames in the sequence. The mode, or most frequently occurring value, of the image region as indicated by the histogram is selected as representing the unchanging portion of the image. The mode values of all of the regions are then assembled to form a composite image of the unchanging or slowly changing feature values. According to one method, the histogram is generated using a recursive filter. In order to process images that exhibit some motion from frame to frame, the images in the video sequence may be aligned before generating the histogram. If the camera produces artifacts such as variations in the image caused by an automatic gain control (AGC) function, each image in the sequence of video images may be filtered either temporally or spatially before performing the histogramming operation to remove these artifacts. To reduce processing time, the image processing may be spaced in time such that only every nth image is processed. Alternatively, each region of an image sequence may be processed at random irregular intervals in order to obtain the histogram. In one embodiment of the invention, the histogram is applied over relatively small groups of frames in order to generate a noise reduced image.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种方法和装置，其估计视频图像序列中的图像的不变或缓慢变化的区域的亮度或其他特征值，即使当该区域被视频序列的大部分上的对象遮蔽时。 该装置和方法为序列中的多个图像帧上的每个图像区域位置生成直方图。 由直方图指示的图像区域的模式或最常出现的值被选择为表示图像的不变部分。 然后组合所有区域的模式值以形成不变或缓慢变化的特征值的合成图像。 根据一种方法，使用递归滤波器生成直方图。 为了处理从帧到帧呈现一些运动的图像，可以在生成直方图之前对准视频序列中的图像。 如果相机产生诸如由自动增益控制（AGC）功能引起的图像变化的人为因素，则在执行直方图操作以去除这些伪像之前，视频图像序列中的每个图像可以在时间上或空间上被滤波。 为了减少处理时间，图像处理可以在时间上间隔使得仅处理每个n图像。 或者，图像序列的每个区域可以以随机的不规则间隔进行处理，以获得直方图。 在本发明的一个实施例中，直方图被应用在相对较小的帧组上，以便产生降噪图像。

Abstract: An accelerometer design is described. It operates by measuring a change in capacitance when one plate is fixed and one is mobile (free to accelerate). Unlike prior art designs where such changes are caused by variations in the plate separation distance, in the design of the present invention the plate separation distance is fixed, it being the effective plate area that changes with acceleration. A key feature is that the basic unit is a pair of capacitors. The fixed plates in each case are at the same relative height but the mobile plates are offset relative to the fixed plates, one mobile plate somewhat higher than its fixed plate with the other mobile plate being somewhat lower. Then, when the mobile plates move (in the same direction), one capacitor increases in value while the other decreases by the same amount. This differential design renders the device insensitive to sources of systematic error such as temperature changes. A process for manufacturing the design is described.

Abstract: An image processing system for imaging a scene to mosaic, selecting a new viewpoint of the scene, and rendering a synthetic image from the mosaic of the scene from that new viewpoint. The synthesized image is then combined with a second image. The combination of the second image and the synthetic image generates a composite image containing a realistic combination of objects in the second image and the scene. Using this system, a production set or other scene need only be created once, then imaged by the system. Thereafter, through image processing, any view of the scene can be synthesized and combined with separately imaged performers or other objects to generate the composite image. As such, a production set or other scene can be repetitively reused without recreating the physical scene.
