METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH POSE ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735630 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH POSE ESTIMATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a wearable electronic device that allows a user to set a region of interest (ROI) in a camera view using hand gestures. The device generates a virtual display to project the ROI and adjusts its size based on the user's gestures.

  • The method involves recognizing the user's first gesture to set a region of interest (ROI) in the camera view.
  • A virtual display is generated to project the ROI if the first gesture is recognized.
  • The ROI is extracted from the camera view.
  • The user's second gesture is recognized to adjust the size of the ROI.
  • The size of the ROI is adjusted and projected onto the virtual display if the second gesture is recognized.

Potential Applications

  • Augmented reality applications where users can interact with virtual objects in their environment.
  • Virtual reality applications where users can manipulate virtual objects using hand gestures.
  • Remote collaboration tools where users can share their view with others and highlight specific areas of interest.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of setting a region of interest in a camera view by using hand gestures instead of manual adjustments.
  • Provides a more intuitive and natural way for users to interact with wearable electronic devices.
  • Allows for real-time adjustments of the region of interest without the need for physical controls.

Benefits

  • Improved user experience by eliminating the need for complex manual adjustments.
  • Increased efficiency and accuracy in setting and adjusting the region of interest.
  • Enables hands-free operation of wearable electronic devices, enhancing convenience and usability.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a wearable electronic device includes: recognizing a first gesture of a hand of a user for setting a region of interest (ROI) corresponding to a view of the user in an image frame corresponding to a view of a camera; generating a virtual display for projecting the ROI based on whether the first gesture is recognized; extracting the ROI from the image frame; recognizing a second gesture of the hand for adjusting a size of the ROI; and adjusting the size of the ROI and projecting the ROI of the adjusted size onto the virtual display, based on whether the second gesture is recognized.
