A method and apparatus for obtaining an image to determine a three dimensional shape of a stationary or moving object using a bi dimensional coded light pattern having a plurality of distinct identifiable feature types. The coded light pattern is projected on the object such that each of the identifiable feature types appears at most once on predefined sections of distinguishable epipolar lines. An image of the object is captured and the reflected feature types are extracted along with their location on known epipolar lines in the captured image. Displacements of the reflected feature types along their epipolar lines from reference coordinates thereupon determine corresponding three dimensional coordinates in space and thus a 3D mapping or model of the shape of the object at any point in time.

A system for Semantic Simultaneous Tracking, Object Registration, and 3D Mapping (STORM) can maintain a world map made of static and dynamic objects rather than 3D clouds of points, and can learn in real time semantic properties of objects, such as their mobility in a certain environment. This semantic information can be used by a robot to improve its navigation and localization capabilities by relying more on static objects than on movable objects for estimating location and orientation.

A client device sends the following data to the servers: still frames from captured video and in some embodiments other data such as GPS coordinates, compass reading, and accelerometer data. The servers break down each frame into feature points and match those feature points to existing point cloud data to determine client device's point of view (POV). The servers send the resulting information back to the client device, which uses the POV information to render augmentation content on a video stream. Information sent by client devices to the server can be used to augment the feature-point cloud.

Interactive multi-view video presents new types of video capture systems, video formats, video compression algorithms, and services. Many video cameras are allocated to capture an event from various related locations and directions. The captured videos are compressed and are sent to a server in real-time. The compressed video can also be transcoded through an off-line compression approach to further reduce the data amount. A key idea of off-line compression is to decompose all views into a 3D mapping, which consists of a group of feature points in the 3D environment. Each feature point is represented by its 3D coordinates (x, y, z) and the corresponding color components (Y, U, V). The created mapping is the minimum set of feature points that can reconstruct all of the pixels in each view. After the 3D mapping creation, the obtained feature points are predicted and transformed to further decompose the correlations among them. The transformed results are quantized and encoded as a ‘base layer’ bit stream. The dequantized feature points are mapped back onto each view to form a predicted view image. The predicted image is close to the original one; however, there are still some differences between them. The difference is encoded independently as an ‘enhancement layer’ of each view image.

An interferometric method and system enabling light echoes-to-spectrum mapping, applicable for laser rangefinder, biomedical imaging including surface 3D mapping and tomography, vehicle position identification, and spectrum analysis. The direct mapping into spectrum allows a time-of-flight detection without using any timing pulse modulation. The sensitivity of the detection can be as high as that of the conventional low coherence interferometry, thereby an eye-safe and low-cost solution not compromising performance. In a practical implementation, high accurate range detection can be easily achievable with the level of accuracy equivalent to the laser rangefinder using a 20 ps Full-Width-at-Half-Maximum (FWHM) timing pulse. The system and method comprise applying dispersion-unbalanced interference (referred to as ‘cross-chirp interference’) and gating a phase matched spectral component. The dispersion unbalance used to induce linear one-to-one correspondence between the relative time delay and the spectral component, the performances in terms of range and resolution of the system and method increase with the increase in dispersion unbalance
