In one aspect the present application provides a hybrid and/or tandem application of image capture settings, including a selectable number of images used to create a selective final resolution image(s), and selectively the number of information groups created from other information captured to inform positional aspects of those image portion captures/images.
As cinema and television technology converge, allowing the home viewer to enjoy many of the technological benefits once reserved for movie theaters, the need initially for additional experiential impact in theaters increases. Resolution, choice, sound and other aspects of home viewing have improved and expanded, as have the viewing options and quality of media presented by computer and Internet options. In time, any benefit of the cinema experience will be minimized to the point of potentially threatening that viewing venue, and industry, entirely.
Currently, no system or method exists in the prior art to provide superior visuals, for example, in terms of resolution and multi-dimensionally, securely and without a need for added hardware configurations. It is with respect to these and other considerations that the disclosure made herein is presented.
A system and method include a first subsystem that includes at least one image capture device configured to capture a plurality of image captures of a visual scene and to generate first image information associated with at least one of the plurality of image captures. A second subsystem includes at least one image-related device positioned offset of at least one image capture device and is configured to capture information associated with the visual scene. At least one processor is configured to communicate with at least one image-related device of the second subsystem, correlate information received from at least one image-related device of the second subsystem with at least some of the first image information; and generate image presentation information as a function of the correlated information; wherein the generated image presentation information is usable to present an altered version of at least one of the plurality of image captures.
Other features and advantages of the present application will become apparent from the following description of the invention that refers to the accompanying drawings.
Further aspects of the present disclosure will be more readily appreciated upon review of the detailed description of its various embodiments, described below, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of which:
The present application regards imaging. By way of overview and introduction, the present application uniquely balances the technological interests of capturing a maximal amount of information, such as to provide for a high image resolution and other desired attributes, with conveying as little information and/or data in as secure manner as possible in order to provide image information that is suitable for screening and/or subsequent postproduction activity. The present application addresses these conflicting interests and objectives in ways that were, until now, unavailable.
Various embodiments and aspects of the invention(s) will be described with reference to details discussed below, and the accompanying drawings illustrate the various embodiments. The following description and drawings are illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting. Numerous specific details are described to provide a thorough understanding of various embodiments of the present invention. However, in certain instances, well-known or conventional details are not described in order to provide a concise discussion of embodiments of the present application.

With continued reference to
User computing devices 104 communicate with data processing apparatuses 102 using data connections 108, which are respectively coupled to communication network 106. Communication network 106 can be any communication network, but is typically the Internet or some other global computer network. Data connections 108 can be any known arrangement for accessing communication network 106, such as the public internet, private Internet (e.g. VPN), dedicated Internet connection, or dial-up serial line interface protocol/point-to-point protocol (SLIPP/PPP), integrated services digital network (ISDN), dedicated leased-line service, broadband (cable) access, frame relay, digital subscriber line (DSL), asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) or other access techniques.

One of the functions performed by data processing apparatus 102 is that of operating as a web server and/or a web site host. Data processing apparatuses 102 typically communicate with communication network 106 across a permanent i.e., un-switched data connection 108. Permanent connectivity ensures that access to data processing apparatuses 102 is always available.
The data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104 includes memory 210 which is coupled to the microprocessor(s) 205. The memory 210 may be used for storing data, metadata, and programs for execution by the microprocessor(s) 205. The memory 210 may include one or more of volatile and non-volatile memories, such as Random Access Memory (“RAM”), Read Only Memory (“ROM”), Flash, Phase Change Memory (“PCM”), or other type
The data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104 also includes an audio input/output subsystem 215 which may include a microphone and/or a speaker for, for example, playing back music, providing voice/video functionality through the speaker and microphone, etc.
A display controller and display device 220 provides a visual user interface for the user; this user interface may include a graphical user interface which, for example, is similar to that shown on a Macintosh computer when running Mac OS operating system software or an iPad, iPhone, or similar device when running iOS operating system software.
The data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104 also includes one or more wireless transceivers 230, such as an IEEE 802.11 transceiver, an infrared transceiver, a Bluetooth transceiver, a wireless cellular telephony transceiver (e.g., 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G), or another wireless protocol to connect the data processing system 100 with another device, external component, or a network. In addition, Gyroscope/Accelerometer 235 can be provided
It will be appreciated that one or more buses, may be used to interconnect the various modules in the block diagram shown in
The data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104 may be a personal computer, tablet-style device, such as an iPad, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a cellular telephone with PDA-like functionality, such as an iPhone, a Wi-Fi based telephone, a handheld computer which includes a cellular telephone, a media player, such as an iPod, an entertainment system, such as a iPod touch, or devices which combine aspects or functions of these devices, such as a media player combined with a PDA and a cellular telephone in one device. In other embodiments, the data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104 may be a network computer or an embedded processing apparatus within another device or consumer electronic product.
The data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104 also includes one or more input or output (“I/O”) devices and interfaces 225 which are provided to allow a user to provide input to, receive output from, and otherwise transfer data to and from the system.

The gyroscope and/or accelerometer 227 can be configured as a sensor that detects acceleration, shake, vibration shock, or fall of a device 102/104, for example, by detecting linear acceleration along one of three axes (X, Y and Z). The gyroscope can work in conjunction with the accelerometer, to provide detailed and precise information about the device's axial movement in space. More particularly, the 3-axes of the gyroscope combined with the 3-axes of the accelerometer enable the device to recognize approximately how far, fast, and in which direction it has moved to generate telemetry information associated therewith.
It will be appreciated that additional components, not shown, may also be part of the data processing apparatus 102 and/or user computing device 104, and, in certain embodiments, fewer components than that shown in
In one or more implementations, a system and method are provided that attributes a vast amount of data to images. For example, image information may pertain to one second of screen-time, based on 24 frames per second. One skilled in the art will recognize that higher frame rates, such as 48 frames per second, may be a basis for providing a time unit of one second of motion images (e.g., digital video). As shown and described herein, the present application improves processes associated with image capture, image processing and/or image conveyance, and improves computer technology by creating new pathways for new imaging results, thereby fulfilling multiple areas of tandem value.
In one or more implementations of the present patent application, a camera 105 is configured as a component in an overall system 100. The camera 105 may be configured to reposition an electronic capture device, such as a light-sensitive digitizing capture component (e.g., a digital camera image sensor). Alternatively, or in addition, all or a portion of a light pathway may be repositioned with respect to a visual scene vis-à-vis a light-transmitting lens. The light transmitting lens can involve optics and/or other options, such as magnetic or other light pathway affecting imposition, which can impact an aspect of light that is reflected and/or generated with regard to one or more objects within a visual scene and that represent a desired capture area. The desired capture area can be referred to herein, generally, as the “live area,” which represents the portion of a monitor image that is masked off' and represents an image portion that is intended for at least one eventual screening system(s) dimensional requirements.
Thus, the present application includes a system that can be configured such that a capture device and/or a light pathway is repositioned, thereby supporting multiple captures of portions of a particular and potentially larger overall visual area. As used herein, a light pathway refers, generally, to light that comes from (e.g., reflects from) objects within a visual scene. In accordance with the present application, a simple three-position shift may allow for a “triptych” capture representing the “top” “middle” and “bottom” portions of the scene. Alternatively, the triptych capture may represent the “left” “middle” and “right” portions of the scene. Other partitions are supported, as well. This plurality of captures, i.e. a simple three position shift, can allow a single 20-megapixel capture device (e.g., an image sensor or chip) to provide for a 60-megapixel triptych, which can be digitally composited by the present application to form a seamless “key frame” image for subsequent use, such as in generating inferred image information.
The present application is further suitable for cinema, and a 4K capture can be used to allow for maximum image information result of up to 12K, without requiring an alteration of the size or power of the capture device 105. Instead, by repositioning the capture device and/or the light pathway, coverage of a greater image target zone relative to a desired visual scene than would be possible using a typical single capture 4K camera.
In one or more implementations of the present application, “composited” key frames can occur at any time(s) during, for example, a single one-second period of time. The composited key frames can represent two or more “moments” in time during a one-second period of time. In one or more implementations, a second system of image-related devices can be provided that is compatible and associated with the first composite key frame system, which collects information associated with one or more objects within a desired visual scene. The second system can include, for example, one or more user computing devices 104. The information collected by the second system may be visual, such as distinct image captures that are of the same or lower resolution than any one single capture related to the “mosaic” composite image portions of the composite key frame device, such as capture device 105. This allows for increased data conveyance efficiency, by precluding the need to convey image information at a high resolution.
In one or more implementations, associated image portions that are discernible, for example, to one or more computing devices provides a basis for applying a lower resolution image, or even simply spatial data such as a reflected signal-based readings to provide a “wireframe” relief map of a visual scene from a camera's point of view and/or one or more other points of view. The associated image portions may pertain to a single object within a desired visual scene. Using the low resolution, spatial data or other information from the “second” system, composited mosaic key frame information can be revised as image data is correspondingly altered.
The present application provides a computer-managed inference that can be made as a function of a mosaic composited image that is tantamount to an image taken by an extremely high resolution capture device at a particular moment during a one-second period of time. The inference can occur as the second system provides information representing one or more objects in the frame that may shift from one position to another at the particular instance of capture. Color and other image-related shifts can be detected by the second system and represented in information associated therewith, which can also be affected. Accordingly, selective updates may be indicated to account for variations that occur more frequently than once per second, in order to maintain image continuity and to provide an authentic representation of action that occurred during the time within the live area.
The present application can include processing, such as performed by hardware processors, to manage inferences that allow for attributes of each image. The attributes can be associated with: 1) the composite key frame; and 2) the full-frame capture(s) and/or spatial information associated therewith that relate to a visual scene. The inferences can be used to generate new image data that includes image information that exceeds the resolution of any one respective capture within the mosaic capture group and/or any one image or spatial data capture made by the second system during the one-second period of time. Image captures and/or associated data are employed to generate revised image data that represent an inferred image(s) of significantly higher resolution. In one or more implementations, image captures from the second system can be through the same lens as the “mosaic” captures and can employ the same capture device(s) 105 of the mosaic captures. Alternatively (or in addition), the “second system” captures can be taken through a lens that is offset from the camera, and/or can be at one or more locations thereby allowing for multiple image sources and/or other data (e.g., spatial data or other information representing aspects of the visual image area), such as via user computing device 104.
It should be appreciated that the present application provides for extremely efficient data generation and/or transmission.
As shown and described herein, the total potential capture information from framed lens scene equals 60 k. For example and as shown in
In accordance with the example shown in
For example, a time period influenced by the 60 k mosaic “key frame” capture is 1 second, or 24 frames (total). A subsequent revision to the “key frame” image data, from lower resolution image data and/or separately gathered spatial data related to some image elements are featured at least within the “key frame.” Thus, the efficiency in the example configuration shown in
In one or more implementations of the present application, a computer-managed compositing of visual information associated with image captures 104′ eliminates redundant information that may be there-between. Such redundant information can represent, for example, small overlapping slivers of the visual scene Eliminating the redundancies allows for a seamless ultra-high resolution single key frame that can be used, for example, in relation to generating one or more subsequent images having a potential of up to 60 k in total image data, per generated image. By conveying a single sequence of fifteen (15) 4K captures per second of intended final media at 24 frames per second, for example, followed by a sequence of 2K full-frame images representing the entire desired visual scene as single full-frame captures, similar to a “video assist” or beam split image capture through the same lens as the mosaic captures, the total “data” load for providing 1440 k of image data representing 24 frames at 60 k, might be 108 k, or less: i.e., 48 k representing the 24 frames of 2K data, plus the one 60 k mosaic capture key frame. This increases data efficiency by over 13 times, while maintaining a virtually indistinguishable image result at 60 k as a function of the double-system image inferring system and method shown and described herein. Information generated and/or provided by the second system can provide all or partial image data, spatial information and/or other information that is pertinent to the desired visual scene and its various elements.
As described herein, in one or more implementations the present application provides for secure transmission or other conveyance of information shown and described herein, including, for example, as provided by the mosaic capture and second systems. The present application provides unique configurations for encryption in accordance with the mosaic captures and/or the second system captures, thereby obviating a need to alter, “break up” or otherwise affect the respective captures, themselves. In one or more implementations, a randomizing code can be generated and/or a sequencing code known to the system or otherwise provided can be imposed in relation to the full captures. In one or implementations, the code is provided via a separate data communication session, line, channel or the like, to increase the transmission security of the code.
The security of the present application is now further described with reference to an example implementation. One or more digital projector(s) are capable of manifesting a high resolution image for theatrical release. The projector(s) are configured to receive the full captures (or information generated in relation to them) in a jumbled order, and simultaneously, previously or subsequently receive information related to the sequence in which these jumbled images belong, in order to manifest the proper final images for theatrical screening (and/or other purpose such as post production or other proprietary screening purposes).
Thus, the mosaic composite image may be include recomposed captures 104′ in an order that is different from the ordering of the mosaic composite image's intended final version, relative to the one-second of footage. Once the intended sequence information is received, a “pirated” or other version of the composite image will not be correctly assembled and, accordingly, of little use. A computing device (including, potentially configured with a digital projector), also can be enabled to generate final inferred images from additional information that is generated and/or provided by the second system data. This additional information may be, for example, for proprietary screening or other uses, such as simple data transmission for postproduction, including sending raw footage from a location, or the like. Thus, even slow or limited data lines could be used to convey extremely high quality image data, through the inferring system herein, and thereby allowing for postproduction efforts to begin on a movie expeditiously, even from a remote and location scenario where data lines may not be equipped for large volume transfer rates.
In yet another configuration related to multidimensional image creation, information associated with the second system may be or otherwise include spatial information. In various configurations, the spatial information can be accompanied by visual information. For example, mobile (wireless) computing devices capture image information (e.g., from the device's camera) as well as forms of spatial information (e.g., global position system (“GPS”) and/or directional information). The spatial information can represent the direction in which the mobile computing device is pointed, height information, image cropping and/or other image capture dynamics). This enables dissemination of information about (as opposed to “of”) an object within a respective visible scene, and can include information that may not be visible from at least one associated vantage point, which contributes to the multi-dimensional nature of the present application.
For example, one capture device may be a primary capture device, or designated as such (e.g., “first” in a group) and can be configured to initiate a collective contribution of image and spatial data. In one or more implementations, a primary capture device collects at least visual information, which can involve the mosaic capture method and system disclosed herein. Second system device(s), which can include one or more mobile computing devices, can be configured to provide information, such as associated with attributes of objects within a respective scene area, which can be three-dimensional (“3-D”) and usable to generate final visual information that includes at least the visual information from the primary capture device.
In yet another configuration, multiple computing devices contribute to provide visual information and/or spatial information related to visual scene, including with regard to a 3-D scene. In such configuration, no single capture device may be configured as a “primary” capture device. However, data processing apparatus 102 or other computing device(s) can be configured to discern aspects of a scene, such as object(s,) within the 3-D visual scene area that can be common to multiple devices' visual and/or spatially informative captures. data processing apparatus 102 and/or other computing device(s) can be configured to identify commonality among information contributed by each respective device(s). This may occur by generating a selected number of final image(s), which may provide for creating (or re-creating) the 3-D image within a selected display device.
As noted herein, the present application includes features that provide, contribute to and increase security. In one configuration, as multiple devices contribute visual and/or spatially informative information, useful in generating a collaborative 3-D environment, yet another means for capture associated encryption is provided as an aspect of the present application. As each device 104 contributes information useful in allocating information within a multidimensional rendition of the collectively captured/sampled environment, related to the desired visual scene, the opportunity to purposefully randomize or scramble the order in which these distinct devices' information is at least conveyed, for example, provides the opportunity for second system de-scrambling of this simple disordering to re-establish a proper allocation information. Thus, if a simple 3-D environment were generated as two offset images related to the same visual scene, the de-scrambling code would be essential in establishing, potentially many times within a single scene, which of the two (or more) offset images the visual information associated with a contributing device is to be designated to, for manifesting/display.
For example, three mobile computing devices transmit information wirelessly to a computing device. The information includes visual and positional data. The positional data includes GPS information and device logistics, such as a respective angle and height of the device. In addition, information is provided that relates to recreating the 3-D scene. This involves transmitting a representation of the data from each device in a sequence that is different from the relative position that the respective device actually occupied in the environment. For example, and with reference to
In one or more implementations, data processing apparatus can be configured to provide subscribership for users of respective computing devices to view and experience a 3-D movie, concert, wedding or other multimedia event. By employing the mosaic key frame configuration shown and described herein that includes at least one primary imaging device, one or more contributing devices provide additional information to suggest how the extreme resolution captures might be recreated (inferred) at various angles, including based on computer managed and distinguishable attributes of the desired 3-D visual scene and/or its elements, such as distinct objects/components.
Thus, one or more high resolution captures can be “informed” by lower resolution or other type of information, such as spatial data, to allow for a 3-D recreation in motion media but a 3-D environment of computer inferred high resolution image(s), had the image(s) actually been captured from the various contributing devices at a higher resolution. Indeed, limits on resolution inference may be affected by the quality and dynamics of the contributing captures 304 themselves, which may mean portions of the generated 3-D recreation of an environment may have “richer” areas than others, in relation to at least image quality and multidimensional dynamics.
Moreover, such issues can even inform a system, such as a wireless application based system, to suggest “where” in the scene another device and/or existing device might be placed, to enhance the overall quality and result of the 3-D visual recreation.
In one or more configurations, capture device 105 can be enabled to capture a mosaic key frame, of a plurality of image portion captures, such represented in
