20130093787 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GROUPING AND DE-OVERLAPPING ITEMS IN A USER INTERFACE - An approach is provided for grouping and de-overlapping items in a user interface. A display manager determines one or more items for rendering in a user interface. The display manager then causes, at least in part, a determination of one or more rendering locations for one or more representations of the one or more items based, at least in part, on location information associated with the one or more items. The display manager further causes, at least in part, a grouping, a de-overlapping, or a combination thereof of the one or more representations based, at least in part, on an overlapping of the one or more rendering locations. The display manager also causes, at least in part, a rendering of the one or more representations in the user interface based, at least in part, on the grouping, the de-overlapping, or a combination thereof. | 04-18-2013 |

The kinematics model is predefined with data specifying a manner to determine orientations of the media capturing device. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to periodically receive information from a sensor(s). The information may indicate an orientation is changed to a different orientation responsive to detection of a change in rotational angular velocity of the media capturing device. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to adjust data of the kinematics model based on the information from the sensor(s) to estimate a current orientation of the media capturing device. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided. | 01-16-2014 |

In this regard, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may determine a location of a mobile terminal, receive object meshes for one or more objects in geographic proximity to the mobile terminal, remove, using a processor, one or more polygons from the object meshes, and determine occlusion between the location of the mobile terminal and at least one point of interest. The at least one point of interest may be identified as occluded if a line segment between the location and the at least one point of interest intersects with at least one of the object meshes. The method, apparatus, and computer program product may also include causing the at least one point of interest to not be displayed by an augmented reality interface. | 01-30-2014 |
20150221335 | Retiming in a Video Sequence - Slow motion is added to a video clip using retiming. Retiming adjusts the timing of the video. The video sequence may be stored ahead of time, modified in real time as the video is collected, or in real time as the video is played back. A memory stores a video sequence. A processor selects a subset of frames from the video sequence based on a focus frame identifier and a slow motion timing pattern. The processor generates at least one intermediate frame for insertion into the subset of frames based on the slow motion timing pattern for the video sequence and the focus frame identifier for the video sequence. | 08-06-2015 |
20150222919 | Detection of Motion Activity Saliency in a Video Sequence - A streaming video or a stored video is analyzed to identify salient features. The salient features are the more interesting portions of the video because salient features include the most motion. A motion vector field including a motion vector for multiple pixels in the video is generated. The motion vector field is partitioned into grid blocks, and each of the grid blocks is divided into a set of orientation ranges. The vectors of the motion vector field for each grid block are binned into the orientation ranges. A motion score is calculated based on a count of motion vectors for the orientation ranges. The section of the video having higher or the highest motion score is designated as a salient feature. Among other applications, salient features may be used for thumbnail images, highlight reels, or video editing. | 08-06-2015 |

20100087744 | Pulse rate monitor and process for detecting an allergen - A wearable pulse rate and rhythm monitoring device that monitors a person's pulse for variables such as pulse rate, pulse rhythm, pulse amplitude and blood pressure versus time when a person is exposed to one or more potential allergens. The person will select a potential allergen, such as corn, from a list stored in the device when the person will be exposed to that particular potential allergen. Selecting a potential allergen will start the device to monitor the pulse for gathering the data and storing the data in the memory for a pre-selected period of time. The stored data is then downloaded into a program that will plot the pulse rate versus real time so that an allergen can be identified. By monitoring the various changes to a person's pulse versus real time instead of taking an average, even slight allergens can be identified. | 04-08-2010 |
