PHOTOREALISTIC 3-D SCENE RECONSTRUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION PLATFORM
A scene reconstruction method using image-based data, including: data ingesting and pre- processing of the image-based data entered by a user, wherein the pre-processing includes receiving one of video frames or image sequences of the image-based data and interactively scrubbing one of the video frames or image sequences; selecting specific frames or sequences of the video frames or image sequences for scene reconstruction; distributed processing of the selected frames or sequences using resource allocation, load balancing, priority-based job queuing, real-time progress monitoring, and interactive progress visualization and status reporting; real-time viewing and editing of the selected frames or sequences to generate photorealistic and editable 3-D scenes, wherein the real-time viewing and editing uses real-time scene exploration and manipulation, camera control and trajectory planning, and arbitrary output variables (AOV) preview capabilities.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method of transmitting video data. A sequence of video frames is received. A warp operation for a first frame and a reference frame of the sequence of video frames is determined, wherein the warp operation defines a transformation of the reference frame to give an approximation of the first frame. One or more regions of interest of the first frame are identified. Encoded image data from the image data of the one of more regions of interest of the first frame is generated using an image encoder. The warp operation and the encoded image data are transmitted.

To provide an optical disc drive (1) with a smaller number of components. The optical disc drive (1) includes a turntable (30) for rotating an optical disc, a chuck pulley (15), a top frame (10) having an opening (10a) formed at a position overlapping the chuck pulley (15) in a plan view, and a first arm (141) that holds the chuck pulley (15), in which the first arm (141) contacts a first guide section (101) of the opening (10a) and changes the posture so as to move the chuck pulley (15) between the stand-by position and the chuck position at which the first arm (141) and the turntable (30) sandwich the optical disc depending on a position at which the first arm (141) contacts the first guide section (101).
A corresponding relationship between a tilt direction of an operation stick and an instruction direction to an application is easily recognized from the external appearance of an input device. The input device (1) may have a top member (40) having an upper surface, which may be touched by a finger of a user, and a base member (50) to which the top member (40) is attached. One among the base member (50) and an insertion portion (42) of the top member (40) may have a plurality of engaging portions (70) surrounding an axis (L1) of the insertion portion (42), and the other may have at least one engaging portion (80) that engages with at least one of the plurality of the engaging portion (70) and restricts movement of the insertion portion (42) in a circumferential direction of the axis (L1).
