IMAGE MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17524681 titled 'IMAGE MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and techniques for modifying the scale and position of objects in images. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The system takes a 2D input image from a camera and creates a 3D representation of that image.
  • It identifies a specific object in the 2D image within the 3D representation.
  • The system adjusts the position of the object within the 3D representation.
  • It then generates a modified version of the object in a 2D output image.
  • The modified image can be displayed on a screen.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Augmented reality: Modifying the scale and position of objects in real-time to enhance the user's perception of the environment.
  • Virtual reality: Creating realistic and immersive virtual environments by adjusting the scale and position of objects.
  • Image editing: Allowing users to easily modify the size and position of objects in images for creative purposes.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Accurate object manipulation: The system provides a way to precisely adjust the scale and position of objects in images, ensuring realistic modifications.
  • Seamless integration: The modified objects seamlessly blend into the original image, creating a natural and visually appealing output.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience: Users can interact with and modify objects in images, leading to more engaging and immersive experiences.
  • Improved image editing capabilities: The system simplifies the process of resizing and repositioning objects in images, making it more accessible to users with limited editing skills.
  • Realistic visual output: The modified objects appear natural and seamlessly integrated into the original image, resulting in high-quality visuals.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and techniques are described herein for modifying the scale and/or position of objects in images. For instance, a system can obtain a two-dimensional (2D) input image from a camera and a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the 2D input image. The system can further determine a first portion of the 3D representation of the 2D input image corresponding to a target object in the 2D input image. The system can adjust a pose of the first portion of the 3D representation of the 2D input image corresponding to the target object. The system can further generate a 2D output image having a modified version of the target object based on the adjusted pose of the first portion of the 3D representation of the 2D input image corresponding to the target object to be output on a display.
