AI content generation includes any text, image, video, or other media created by artificial intelligence algorithms. These algorithms use natural language processing(NLP) and machine learning(ML) to produce content that mimics what humans can do.

CONT

AI content generation ... raises plagiarism and copyright issues. Because AI models are trained on existing data, there’s a risk of accidental copyright infringement or content duplication.

CONT

Smart eyewear is defined as eyewear incorporating a near-to-eye display. As used herein, near-to-eye display means a display, device, or system, such as a retinal projector, virtual retinal display, visualization element, head-mounted display, heads-up display, or other near-to-eye system, typically worn on the head of a user that generates an image near the eye. In a smart eyewear configuration, a display device is often mounted adjacent to an edge of each of the wearer’s eyes and an image is typically displayed in the center of each lens. The location of the displayed image, therefore, forces the wearer to gaze in a direction to view the image generated by the display. Typically positioned near the user’s eye, the display is aligned to the central region of the user’s field of view to allow review of the displayed information with little or no head movement. This enables the user to view the display while also viewing the area outside the central region and interacting with the surrounding environment. In another embodiment, the displayed image is aligned to a region other than the central region of the user’s field of view.

CONT

Near-eye display devices are configured to present images to a user via a display that is positioned close to the user’s eyes. For example, a head-mounted augmented reality display device may be worn on a user’s head to position a near-eye display directly in front of a user’s eyes. A near-eye display may be at least partially see-through to allow a user to view a real-world background in combination with displayed virtual objects. This may allow virtual objects to be displayed such that the virtual objects appear to exist within the real-world environment.

CONT

The technology provides one or more embodiments of a near-eye display(NED) device system. An embodiment of a NED device system comprises a near-eye display device including a near-eye support structure and a near-eye display(NED) supported by the near-eye support structure and having a display field of view. The NED system further comprises an image generation unit supported by the near-eye support structure which outputs image data which is optically coupled to the near-eye display(NED).

OBS

near-to-eye display; near-eye display: data validated by Canadian subject-field experts from École Polytechnique de Montréal, MasterpieceVR and McGill University.

CONT

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar(InSAR) is a promising recent technique for the generation of digital elevation models and/or the measurement of ground surface deformations. In InSAR data processing, the first step is the image co-registration, achieved by using a set of tie points which are the conjugate image points on the master and slave images. Tie points are selected with the aim of finding the conjugate point automatically on the slave image for any given point on the master image, by the process known as image matching. To achieve reliable matching, a set of points within a window is used instead of a single point. The size of the window will affect the reliability of matching. Hitherto there have been no effective methods for the determination of optimum window size for this purpose. In practice, this parameter is determined by experience.

La mise en correspondance d'images vise à aligner deux ou plusieurs images d'une même scène, acquises par un même ou plusieurs instruments différents (optique visible ou infrarouge, radar, lidar). Une fois recalées, ces images peuvent être fusionnées. Ainsi, la combinaison des informations multi-sources, multi-vues, structurelles, statistiques, temporelles, permettra de faciliter l'analyse et contribuera à une meilleure prise de décision pour la reconnaissance des objets ou des matériaux.
