Disclosed are a device, apparatus, and method for performing line mapping. A three-dimensional (3D) map that includes at least a first and a second 3D line corresponding to an aspect of a real world environment may be obtained. One or more images of the aspect may also be obtained and hypotheses 3D lines may be determined. The hypothesis 3D lines may be verified with the one or more images and the 3D map may be updated. The determination and verification of the hypothesis 3D lines may include creating a plane in 3D space and using co-planarity or orthogonality assumptions.

Hypotheses line mapping and verification for 3D maps

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for adaptively executing one or more motion blur estimation methods to estimate a motion blur associated with an image target frame in an Augmented Reality environment produced by an Augmented Reality application. In one embodiment, the functions implemented include: applying a first motion blur estimation method to estimate the motion blur; determining whether computational resources are available for a second motion blur estimation method; and applying the second motion blur estimation method to estimate the motion blur in response to a determination that computational resources are available for the second motion blur estimation method.

Fast adaptive estimation of motion blur for coherent rendering

Disclosed are a system, apparatus, and method for depth and color camera image synchronization. Depth and color camera input images are received or otherwise obtained unsynchronized and without associated creation timestamps. An image of one type is compared with an image of a different type to determine a match for synchronization. Matches may be determined according to edge detection or depth coordinate detection. When a match is determined a synchronized pair is formed for processing within an augmented reality output. Optionally the synchronized pair may be transformed to improve the match between the image pair.

Method and apparatus for image processing in augmented reality systems

Disclosed are a system, apparatus, and method for performing occlusion handling for simultaneous localization and mapping. Occluded map points may be detected according to a depth-mask created according to an image keyframe. Dividing a scene into sections may optimize the depth-mask. Size of depth-mask points may be adjusted according to intensity. Visibility may be verified with an optimized subset of possible map points. Visibility may be propagated to nearby points in response to determining an initial visibility of a first point's surrounding image patch. Visibility may also be organized and optimized according to a grid.

Occlusion handling for computer vision

Various methods, apparatuses and/or articles of manufacture are provided which may be implemented for use by an electronic device to track objects across two or more digital images. For example, an electronic device may generate a plurality of warped patches corresponding to a reference patch of a reference image, and combine two or more warped patches to form a blurred warped patch corresponding to the reference patch with a motion blur effect applied to a digital representation corresponding to a keypoint of an object to be tracked.
