A display calibration system may include a first electronic device that includes an ambient light sensor and a display to be calibrated in a second electronic device. The first electronic device may generate test patterns to be displayed on the display. The ambient light sensor may receive light emitted from the display based on the test patterns to generate display color space data. The first electronic device may generate calibration data for the display based on the display color space data and a target reference color space. The second electronic device may store the calibration data and use the calibration data to generate more accurate images. Because the first electronic device may include other functionalities other display calibration, specialized display calibration equipment may be omitted. Additionally, a third electronic device that acts as an intermediary between the first and second electronic devices.

Display calibration system

A system for calculating a consensus foreground object, relative to a background within a series of video frames is disclosed. The system relies upon a multi-prong approach that takes a consensus selection for the foreground object reliant upon at least three different models, then outputs the foreground object for application of alpha matting for use in augmented realty or virtual reality filmmaking.

Fully automated alpha matting for virtual reality systems

A method for using a telescoping monopod apparatus to capture an image including synchronizing a photographic instrument with the telescoping monopod apparatus, attaching the photographic instrument to the telescoping monopod apparatus, determining that the photographic instrument is in an image-capturing mode, extracting, by the image-capturing mode, a humanoid feature, detecting that the humanoid feature comprises a cutoff, adjusting a position of the photographic instrument using the telescoping monopod apparatus, and capturing an adjusted image using the photographic instrument.

Object detection and recognition method

A telescoping monopod system including an image acquisition module having a field of vision, an attachment member configured to contact the image acquisition module, a body housing a processor, a memory, an electromechanical component, and a plurality of shafts. The body contacts the attachment member. The body comprises a control panel.

Telescoping monopod system

A telescoping monopod apparatus including a holder configured to hold an image acquisition module having a field of vision, and a support holding a mirror to be in proximity to a lens of the image acquisition module, the mirror is configured to enable the image acquisition module to capture an image outside the field of vision, and a body housing a control component and an electronic component configured to actuate the telescoping monopod apparatus and the support. The body is operatively connected to the holder. A tracking method including receiving an input from a user, detecting, by an image acquisition module, a feature, and adjusting a mirror to track the feature.

Image processing system and method for object tracking

A global positioning system including a processor configured to determine a route of travel based upon satellite data that identify a current location of the global positioning system and traffic data obtained from a traffic flow control system, and a display configured to display the current position and a determined route of travel.

Global positioning system

A telescoping monopod apparatus that is configured to hold a photographic instrument. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a body that houses a control component and an electronic component. The body has a rotatable bottom end. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a plurality of shafts disposed in an interior of the body. The upper end is opposite of the rotatable bottom end. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a ball disposed on an uppermost shaft of the plurality of shafts. The telescoping monopod apparatus includes a spheroidal joint that is configured to receive the ball on a first end. The spheroidal joint is attached to a holder on a second end.
