Abstract: A system for adjusting the pose of a camera relative to a subject in a scene is provided. The system comprises a camera operable to capture images of a scene; an identification unit configured to identify an object of interest in images of the scene; a pose processor configured to obtain a pose of the object of interest in the scene relative to the camera; a scene analyser operable to determine, based on at least one of the obtained pose of the object of interest and images captured by the camera, a scene quality associated with images captured by the camera. A controller is configured to cause the pose of the camera to be adjusted based on a determination that the scene quality of an image captured at a current pose is less than a threshold value. A corresponding device is also provided.

Abstract: A digital model repair method includes: providing a point cloud digital model of a target object as input to a generative network of a trained generative adversarial network ‘GAN’, the input point cloud comprising a plurality of points erroneously perturbed by one or more causes, and generating, by the generative network of the GAN, an output point cloud in which the erroneous perturbation of some or all of the plurality of points has been reduced; where the generative network of the GAN was trained using input point clouds comprising a plurality of points erroneously perturbed by said one or more causes, and a discriminator of the GAN was trained to distinguish point clouds comprising a plurality of points erroneously perturbed by said one or more causes and point clouds substantially without such perturbations.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for generating content for display including one or more objects to be rendered, including: defining a plurality of virtual elements; setting one or more parameters associated with each of the plurality of virtual elements; and generating content for display using the plurality of virtual elements and corresponding parameter values, where setting the one or more parameters includes setting one or more parameters in accordance with the output of a machine learning algorithm adapted to determine appropriate parameters for the plurality of virtual elements so as to simulate an object to be rendered.
