A method for image processing in video conferencing, for correcting the gaze of an interlocutor in an image or a sequence of images captured by at least one real camera, comprises the steps of

Method and system for image processing in video conferencing

A method of remotely viewing a video from a selected viewpoint selected by the viewer from a continuous segment, including, recording a video of a subject using at least one depth video camera that records a video comprising a sequence of picture frames and additionally records a depth value for each pixel of the picture frames, recording a video of the subject using at least one standard video camera positioned to record a video at a viewpoint that differs from the viewpoint of the depth video camera, rendering a depth hull that defines a three dimensional outline of the subject being recorded using the depth values recorded by the depth video cameras, providing the recorded video from one or more cameras positioned on either side of the selected viewpoint, incorporating the recorded video from the one or more cameras onto the rendered depth hull to render a viewable video from the selected viewpoint; and displaying the rendered viewable video to the viewer.

Free viewpoint video

Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a method, comprising: in a sensor node network comprising a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node from the plurality of sensor nodes having location coordinates that are initially unknown, each sensor node from the plurality of sensor nodes having neighbors, each sensor node from the plurality of sensor nodes capable of determining distances only to that sensor node's neighbors: for each sensor node from the plurality of sensor nodes, communicating with that sensor node's neighbors; and based only on communications between neighbors, in a fully distributed manner, generating a sensor node network layout that indicates the location coordinates of each sensor node.

Distributed graph layout for sensor node networks

A method and system for sensor network localization including communicating with a plurality of directly neighboring sensor nodes to determine a patch in a sensor network, localizing the patch, generating a system of equations from computed local coordinates of the patch, incorporating global coordinates of a plurality of sensor nodes into the system of equations, and solving the equations using a distributed equation solver is described. The described methods and systems have utility in the arts of military, radio, police, fire, rescue, business, travel, and other diverse applications.
