Embodiments of the present disclosure relate performing registration of a first image to a second image where the first image is undistorted to linear space before applying a geometric transformation matrix to modify the first image to align with the second image. The geometric transformation matrix may be a linear matrix that causes the undistorted version of the first image to make translation movement, rotational movement or both. The undistorted and modified first image is then reverted back to nonlinear distorted space. Then the reverted first image may be warped to better align with the second image for fusing with the second image. In this way, visual distortions in the fused image such as wobbling may be reduced or eliminated.

Linear transform of undistorted image for fusion

Methods and systems for providing information associated with a location history of a mobile device to one or more applications are disclosed. A mobile device generates one or more location history records based on one or more locations of the mobile device, each location history record comprising one or more points of interest and a duration at the one or more points of interest, receives an information request from at least one application, determines a subset of the one or more location history records that meet criteria from the information request, determines a level of permission for the at least one application based on the information request and the subset of the one or more location history records, and provides information associated with the subset of the one or more location history records to the at least one application based on the level of permission.

Providing, organizing, and managing location history records of a mobile device

Techniques for displaying navigation information on a mobile device are provided that include a method that includes obtaining an indication of a position and an indication of a direction associated with the mobile device, using the indication of the position, the indication of the direction, information regarding identities of POIs within a geographic region of interest, and information regarding areas associated with the POIs to determine at least one relevant POI, of the POIs, that is associated with the position and direction, and displaying at least one visual indication associated with each of the at least one relevant POI on the mobile device. The appearance of the at least one visual indication is dependent on at least one of a distance from the mobile device of the relevant POI associated with the visual indication or presence of a known physical barrier between the mobile device and that relevant POI.

Directional and x-ray view techniques for navigation using a mobile device

Techniques describe opportunistically capturing and tagging images with wireless information by a mobile device. The tagged image may be transmitted to a remote server, such as a crowdsourcing server, where the location at which the image was captured may be determined using visual features from the image. An association between the location and the wireless measurements may be used in building/maintaining a heatmap. In one embodiment, techniques are described for setting camera parameters for opportunistically capturing images and may include receiving at least one signal associated with at least one signal emitting device, determining information associated with the at least one signal emitting device using the at least one signal, setting at least one camera parameter for a camera coupled to the mobile device based on the information associated with the at least one signal emitting device, and capturing one or more images using the at least one camera parameter.

Changing camera parameters based on wireless signal information

A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes receiving a set of image frames. The set of image frames includes a face. The method also includes determining at least one facial motion of the face based on the set of image frames. The method further includes determining, based on the at least one facial motion, a facial rigidity confidence value indicating a degree of confidence that the face is rigid. The method additionally includes determining at least one facial micro-motion of the face based on the set of image frames. The method also includes determining a micro-motion matching confidence value indicating a degree of matching between the at least one facial micro-motion and a micro-motion profile. The method further includes authenticating a user based on the facial rigidity confidence value and the micro-motion matching confidence value.

Various embodiments may include methods executed by processors of computing devices for geometry based work execution prioritization. The processor may receive events, such as images. The processor may overlay a boundary shape on the event to identify discard regions of the event lying outside the boundary shape. The processor may identify work regions of the events lying within the working boundary shape. The devices may determine a cancellation likelihood for each of the identified work regions of the events. The processor may assign a trimming weight to each of the identified work regions based on the determined cancellation likelihoods. The processor may then add each of the identified work regions as a work item to an execution work list in an order based on the assigned trimming weights. The work items may be processed in order of trimming weight priority.

Various implementations include unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) and methods for providing security for a UAV. In various implementations, a processor of the UAV may receive sensor data from a plurality of UAV sensors about an object in contact with the UAV. The processor may determine an authorization threshold based on the received sensor data. The processor may determine whether the object is authorized based on the received sensor data and the determined authorization threshold.

System and method for determining location of a device using opposing cameras are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes activating a front-facing camera and a back-facing camera of the device, capturing a first pair of images from a first orientation using the front-facing camera and the back-facing camera, where the first pair of images includes a first front image and a first back image, monitoring the device being rotated to a second orientation, capturing a second pair of images from the second orientation using the front-facing camera and the back-facing camera, where the second pair of images includes a second front image and a second back image, and determining a location of the device using the first pair of images and the second pair of images.

Implementations include systems and methods for managing security for a mobile communication device. In implementations, a processor of the mobile communication device may determine environment context information. The processor may receive safety information from one or more peer devices. The processor may determine an authentication requirement for the mobile communication device based on the received safety information and the determined environment context information. The processor may deny access to a function of the mobile communication device in response to determining that the determined authentication requirement is not satisfied.
