SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING BASED ON OBJECT TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17932246 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING BASED ON OBJECT TRACKING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an imaging system that determines a movement path of an indicator object relative to a target object based on image data received from an image sensor. The system then identifies an outline of at least a portion of the target object and generates a three-dimensional mesh based on this outline.
- Imaging system determines movement path of indicator object relative to target object
- System identifies outline of at least a portion of the target object
- Three-dimensional mesh is generated based on the outline
- Mesh can be generated additively or subtractively
- Texture for the mesh is based on the target object in the image data
Potential Applications
- 3D modeling and rendering
- Augmented reality applications
- Object recognition and tracking systems
Problems Solved
- Accurate representation of target objects in a scene
- Efficient generation of three-dimensional models
- Improved understanding of spatial relationships between objects
Benefits
- Enhanced visualization of objects in images
- Precise tracking and analysis of object movements
- Simplified creation of 3D models from 2D images
Original Abstract Submitted
Imaging systems and techniques are described. An imaging system determines, based on image data of a scene received from an image sensor, a movement path of an indicator object relative to a target object. The target object is represented in the image data from a first perspective. The imaging system identifies, based on the movement path of the indicator object and the first perspective, an outline of at least a portion of the target object. The imaging system generates a three-dimensional mesh based on the outline of at least the portion of the target object. The imaging system can generate the mesh additively or subtractively, by adding a volume based on the outline to a previous mesh or by subtracting the volume from a previous mesh, respectively. The imaging system can generate a texture for the mesh that is based on the target object in the image data.
