Stanford researchers have patented a hardware and software system designed for automated assisted steering that combines automated and human vehicle control within driving lanes.
Stanford researchers have patented a data-driven method for building a human shape model that spans variation in both subject shape and pose. The method is based on a representation that incorporates both articulated and non-rigid deformations.
This portfolio of inventions provides the tools for an advanced navigational system and panoramic virtual tours – technology that is incorporated in Google Street View.
Researchers from Stanford University and the Max Planck Institute have patented a new marker-less approach to capturing human performances from multi-view video.
Stanford researchers have created software to view panoramic videos from arbitrary viewpoints from separate non-overlapping geo-referenced panoramic video streams. Ths system can also synthesize missing panoramic images to provide the user with a full sequence.
This user interface enables a user to define tags within virtual tour applications that label objects in panoramic images and video – a process that has been very difficult to achieve prior to this invention.
This software system acquires panoramic video footage and makes the data viewable on a Web browser. The system enables a human editor to select specific subsequences of the data, and organize it, and have others view it.
