A method for interactive image caricaturing by an electronic device is described. The method includes detecting at least one feature location of an image. The method further includes generating, based on the at least one feature location, an image mesh that comprises a grid of at least one horizontal line and at least one vertical line. The method additionally includes obtaining a gesture input. The method also includes determining at least one caricature action based on the at least one gesture input. The method further includes generating a caricature image based on the image mesh, the at least one caricature action and the image.

Systems and methods for interactive image caricaturing by an electronic device

A system and method of video processing are disclosed. In a particular implementation, a device includes a processor configured to generate index data for video content. The index data includes a summary frame and metadata. The summary frame is associated with a portion of the video content and illustrates multiple representations of an object included in the portion of the video content. The metadata includes marker data that indicates a playback position of the video content. The playback position is associated with the summary frame. The device also includes a memory configured to store the index data.

Systems and methods for video processing

An electronic device receives a plurality of images at different times while the device is operating in an image preview mode, and prior to a user-initiated image capture request, the electronic device generates a clean preview image that excludes one or more moving objects from the preview image.

A method of manipulating an image by a mobile-device includes segmenting image data corresponding to the image into a first image layer and a second image layer. The method also includes receiving a first user input at the mobile device, the first user input indicating a direction relative to the mobile device, and performing a first image editing operation on the first image layer based on the first user input. The method further includes receiving a second user input at the mobile device, the second user input indicating the direction relative to the mobile device, and performing a second image editing operation on the first image layer based on the second user input. The second image editing operation is distinct from the first image editing operation.

Image editing techniques for a device

A device () for displaying panoramic images includes an image sensor (), a panoramic display module () and a display (). The display () displays an annular panorama view (). The annular view () may be an incomplete annulus for illustrating a missing view angle () from an incomplete panoramic image. The display () further includes a window () and a high resolution display portion (). The window () bounds a portion () of the annular view (). The high resolution display portion () displays a high resolution image corresponding to the portion () of the annular view (). The window () is movable around the annular view (). A size of the window () or the high resolution display portion () is adjustable. A method for generating a panoramic image is also provided.

Annular view for panorama image

A transmitter generates MUX-PDUs for video, audio, data, and/or control streams based on a fixed PHY packet size such that all or a substantial percentage of the MUX-PDUs conform to the PHY packet size. The MUX-PDUs have variable sizes and are mapped to PHY packets such that (1) each MUX-PDU that is smaller than the PHY packet size is sent in one PHY packet and (2) each MUX-PDU that is larger than the PHY packet size is sent in a minimum number of PHY packets. Each MUX-PDU is padded with one or more null MUX-PDUs and/or one or more padding bytes, if needed, to obtain the PHY packet size. Each PHY packet is sent in one transmission time interval (TTI) to a receiver. The receiver performs the complementary processing on the received PHY packets to recover the MUX-PDUs. The receiver forwards each valid MUX-PDU and discards any padding.

Transmission of multiplex protocol data units in physical layer packets

To detect the presence of at least one other terminal in a data session (e.g., an RTP session), terminal a generates a request to solicit a response from each terminal, forms an APP packet in RTCP for the request, encapsulates the APP packet in at least one IP packet, and sends the IP packet(s) to the other terminal(s). Terminal a then monitors for a response from each terminal to which the request is sent. Terminal a declares a terminal to be present in the data session if a response is received from that terminal. Terminal a may send one or more additional requests to each terminal from which a response is not received. Terminal a declares a terminal to be absent from the data session if a predetermined number of (e.g., two) requests have been sent to that terminal and a response is not received from the terminal.
