Media -> Image Processing

This patent is generally related to augmented reality (AR). Disclosed is a technique to project synthetic information or supplementary information into the real environment to enhance the real world experience. Disclosed system projects synthetic information into a real environment by generating a camera image of the real environment and assigning the image to a 3D model through image processing or pattern recognition. Also disclosed are techniques to calculate a position of the information and a correction of the projection position is implemented through a feedback between the camera image and the projection unit. The technology may be implemented in medical field, tourism, Industrial manufacturing, etc.

2022-06-05

Mobile -> Apps & Services

This portfolio is generally related to augmented reality (AR) application. Various techniques are disclosed to provide an accurate and seamless AR experience to users by using fiducial markers having encoded data. Techniques are disclosed to accurately register real world or physical world object coordinates to the relative coordinates of an AR system by encoding data into high-contrast markers or QR codes labeled as Digitally Encoded Markers (DEMs). The system allows mobile device or a viewing device to extract the metadata of the DEM. Also disclosed are techniques to superimpose digital data onto the real world by registering the geographic world coordinates on the DEM to produce an AR experience to the user in real time. The technology may be implemented in AR applications, mobile apps, etc.

IP3 2021-AI for Selecting Audio Codec (LOT 12727)

Sold  

2023-09-28

Media->Audio Processing

This lot is generally related to a technique of audio compression in a material exchange format (MXF) file to maintain audio quality. Disclosed is a technique to select an optimal audio codec by creating multiple processed audio clips by compressing and decompressing an original audio clip with different audio codec algorithms. The system creates a matched filter using the original audio clip to determine a power spectrum of each of the processed audio to identify a selected audio codec algorithm for compression. The technology may be implemented in audio processing software, audio and video packaging systems, media players, etc.
