Further, time coherence can be enforced, the mesh can be edited easily, and new elements can be unseamingly composed into the terrain. Thus, it is possible to prevent a viewer who views the stereoscopic image from becoming tired. | 2012-07-05 |

The mobile terminal may also include a user input module configured to receive a command from a user, and a controller configured to control at least one icon corresponding to an application executed in the at least one execution zone. | 2012-07-05 |
| 20120169769 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION DISPLAY METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus includes: a display section displaying an image; and a control section displaying on the display section a map-view screen including a display of a map cluster including thumbnail images of one or a plurality of images recorded in a recording section with position information attached on a map, and when one map cluster is selected from the map clusters, an index-display confirmation screen including a display of information not displayed on the map-view screen of the map cluster and not displaying the map having been displayed on the map-view screen, and prompting to select whether to display an index of images included in the map cluster. | 2012-07-05 |
| 20120169770 | Navigating Images Using Image Based Geometric Alignment And Object Based Controls - Over the past few years there has been a dramatic proliferation of digital cameras, and it has become increasingly easy to share large numbers of photographs with many other people. These trends have contributed to the availability of large databases of photographs. Effectively organizing, browsing, and visualizing such .seas. of images, as well as finding a particular image, can be difficult tasks. In this paper, we demonstrate that knowledge of where images were taken and where they were pointed makes it possible to visualize large sets of photographs in powerful, intuitive new ways. We present and evaluate a set of novel tools that use location and orientation information, derived semi-automatically using structure from motion, to enhance the experience of exploring such large collections of images. | 2012-07-05 |
