METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH POSE ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735541 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH POSE ESTIMATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for pose estimation using depth data and normal vectors. The method involves determining the depth of a target scene with orthogonal planes, calculating normal vectors for the depth points, comparing the normal vectors to orientation candidates to determine the device's orientation, and calculating the device's position based on distances to the planes.
- Determines depth data by sensing the depth of a target scene with orthogonal planes.
- Calculates normal vectors corresponding to the depth points of the depth data.
- Compares the normal vectors to orientation candidates to determine the orientation of a device.
- Determines the position of the device based on the distances from the device to the planes.
Potential Applications
- Augmented reality: Accurate pose estimation can enhance the realism and accuracy of virtual objects in augmented reality applications.
