Title: Relightable texture for use in rendering an image
Inventor: IMBER JAMES STUART
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 2013-05-29
Abstract: A model of a scene of an image (e.g. a frame of a video sequence) is generated from one or more views of the scene captured from one or more different camera viewpoints. An initial texture for applying to the model is derived from the one or more views of the scene which is then separated into a lighting estimate and a colour estimate, which may be orthogonal and which may be processed independently. The lighting estimate is filtered with a high-pass filter to thereby determine shadow regions of the scene which are regions of detailed shadow which are likely to be caused by ambient occlusion in the scene and which are therefore retained when the texture is relit for rendering the image. A shadow-detail estimate (or "dark map") is provided which indicates one or more shadow regions of the texture which are to remain in shadow when the image is rendered. The relightable texture is then derived using the lighting estimate, the colour estimate and the shadow estimate.

Title: System and method for enhancing comprehension and readability of text
Inventor: TSANG VIVIAN
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2013-02-22
Abstract: The present invention is a text display system with speech output that uses a method of text segmentation in which segments of text are presented one after another for reading text sequentially. To indicate the location of text a user is currently reading, the current sentence is emphasized by presenting the surrounding text in faded colors. The current sentence is segmented into phrases where the points of segmentation are chosen by a series of grammatical rules and the desired number of words in each segment. When the text is presented sequentially, each segment is highlighted within the current sentence. With the use of a text-to-speech output system, each segment is spoken out with a pause before the next segment is presented. In a non-linear/selective reading scenario, a user can select a text segment, for which the span of the segment can be automatically generated or manually selected by the user.

IPC: H04B1/12
Filed: 2016-06-07
Abstract: Mitigating the effects of passive intermodulation (PIM) interference at a wireless network receiver, such as a mobile telecommunications base station, the interference comprising PIM products generated from at least a first MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) signal comprising at least a first (C11) and second (C12) MIMO component stream at a first carrier frequency. A first simulated PIM component is generated by applying a first nonlinear PIM simulation function (2a) to a linear combination of a plurality of baseband streams, comprising at least a first baseband stream representing the first MIMO component stream (C11) and a second baseband stream representing the second MIMO component stream (C12), the first baseband stream being combined with the second baseband stream in a first amplitude and phase relationship (Wr1).
