Video See-Through Augmented Reality - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18136228 titled 'Video See-Through Augmented Reality
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for processing images captured by a pair of stereoscopic cameras in a video see-through augmented reality (AR) system. The method involves accessing the image captured by one of the cameras and determining modifications to the image based on models of components in the AR system. A transformation map is then generated based on the modifications, which identifies frame-independent transformations to be applied for rendering a scene using subsequent images captured by that camera.
- The method involves accessing and processing images captured by stereoscopic cameras in an AR system.
- Modifications to the images are determined based on models of components in the AR system.
- A transformation map is generated based on the modifications, which helps in rendering scenes using subsequent images captured by the camera.
- The transformation map includes frame-independent transformations, ensuring consistent rendering across different frames.
- The technology enables more accurate and realistic rendering of augmented reality scenes.
- It improves the overall visual experience in video see-through AR systems.
Potential Applications:
- Video see-through augmented reality systems
- Gaming and entertainment industry
- Industrial training and simulations
- Medical and healthcare applications
- Architectural and interior design visualization
Problems Solved:
- Inconsistent rendering of augmented reality scenes
- Lack of accurate and realistic visual representation in video see-through AR systems
- Difficulty in aligning subsequent images captured by stereoscopic cameras
Benefits:
- Improved visual quality and realism in augmented reality experiences
- Enhanced accuracy and alignment of subsequent images for rendering scenes
- Better user immersion and engagement in video see-through AR systems
- Increased applicability in various industries such as gaming, training, healthcare, and design.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an image captured by a camera of a pair of stereoscopic cameras of a video see-through augmented-reality (AR) system. The method further includes determining, based on each of one or more models of one or more components of the video see-through AR system, a modification to the image and generating, based on the modification to the image, a transformation map for the camera that captured the accessed image. The transformation map identifies frame-independent transformations to apply for rendering a scene based on one or more subsequent images captured by that camera.
