    摘要: A computer system may identify a first position of a physical camera corresponding to a first time period. The computer system may render a first virtual scene for the first time period. The system may project the first scene onto a display surface to determine a first rendered image for the first time period. The computer system may receive a first camera image of the display surface from the camera during the first time period. The system may determine a first corrected position of the camera by comparing the first rendered image to the first camera image. The system may predict a second position of the camera corresponding to a second time period. The computer system may render a second virtual scene for the second time period. The system may project the second virtual scene onto the display surface to determine a second rendered image for the second time period.

    摘要: The present disclosure concerns a method for producing images or a video of a scenery. The method includes the steps of providing a digital camera configured to capture images of said scenery, and arranging one or more active displays within or adjacent to said scenery, said one or more active displays being configured to show image data at a high display frame rate (HDFR). The method further includes the steps of presenting at least a first set of image data and a second set of image data on said active display in a time-sliced multiplexed manner, wherein at least said second set of image data comprises chromakey image data and/or tracking pattern image data, and capturing images of said scenery with said digital camera, with said capturing of images of said digital camera being synchronized with the presentation of image data on said active display.

    摘要: An environmental capture system (ECS) captures image data and depth information in a 360-degree scene. The captured image data and depth information can be used to generate a 360-degree scene. The ECS comprises a frame, a drive train mounted to the frame, and an image capture device coupled to the drive train to capture, while pointed in a first direction, a plurality of images at different exposures in a first field of view (FOV) of the 360-degree scene. The ECS further comprises a depth information capture device coupled to the drive train. The depth information capture device and the image capture device are rotated by the drive train about a first, substantially vertical, axis from the first direction to a second direction. The depth information capture device, while being rotated from the first direction to the second direction, captures depth information for a first portion of the 360-degree scene. The image capture device captures, while pointed in the second direction, a plurality of images at different exposures in a second FOV that overlaps the first FOV of the 360-degree scene. The depth information capture device and the image capture device are rotated by the drive train about the first axis from the second direction to a third direction. The depth information capture device, while being rotated from the second direction to the third direction, captures depth information for a second portion of the 360-degree scene. The image capture device, while pointed in the third direction, captures a plurality of images at different exposures in a third FOV that overlaps the second FOV of the 360-degree scene.

    摘要: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for varied depth determination using stereo vision and phase detection auto focus (PDAF). Computer stereo vision (stereo vision) is used to extract three-dimensional information from digital images. To utilize stereo vison, two optical sensors are displaced horizontally from one another and used to capture images depicting two differing views of a real-world environment from two different vantage points. The relative depth of the objects captured in the images is determined using triangulation by comparing the relative positions of the objects in the two images. For example, the relative positions of matching objects (e.g., features) identified in the captured images are used along with the known orientation of the optical sensors (e.g., distance between the optical sensors, vantage points the optical sensors) to estimate the depth of the objects.
