VIDEO MONITORING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18242768 titled 'VIDEO MONITORING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that determines the position and pose of a video acquisition unit in order to minimize the hiding of objects caused by overlapping. This is achieved by analyzing environmental object information, such as structural objects and placed objects, and staying characteristic information of the objects.
- The system determines the position and pose of a video acquisition unit based on environmental object information and staying characteristic information.
- The analysis and display unit can analyze videos captured by the video acquisition unit and display them.
- The system aims to reduce the level of hiding caused by overlapping objects in the monitored area.
Potential Applications
- Surveillance systems: The technology can be used in surveillance systems to accurately determine the position and pose of video cameras, reducing the chances of objects being hidden from view.
- Augmented reality: The system can be applied in augmented reality applications to improve the accuracy of object placement and interaction in virtual environments.
- Robotics: This technology can be utilized in robotics to enhance the perception and understanding of the robot's surroundings, enabling more precise navigation and interaction.
Problems Solved
- Overlapping objects: The system addresses the issue of objects being hidden or obscured by other objects in a monitored area, improving visibility and reducing the chances of important details being missed.
- Inaccurate object placement: By accurately determining the position and pose of the video acquisition unit, the system helps ensure that objects are placed correctly in virtual environments or robotic applications, enhancing the user experience and functionality.
Benefits
- Improved visibility: By minimizing the hiding of objects caused by overlapping, the system enhances the visibility and clarity of video footage or virtual environments.
- Accurate object placement: The technology ensures that objects are placed accurately in virtual environments or robotic applications, leading to more realistic and immersive experiences.
- Enhanced perception: By analyzing environmental object information and staying characteristic information, the system improves the perception and understanding of the monitored area, enabling more informed decision-making and interaction.
Original Abstract Submitted
A position and pose determination unit () is configured to determine a position and an pose of the video acquisition unit () in such a way that a level of hiding caused by overlapping of objects becomes low based on environmental object information indicating an environmental object including a structural object present in the monitored area and a placed object placed in the structural object, and staying characteristic information indicating a staying characteristic of the object determined depending on the environmental object. The analysis and display unit () is configured to perform at least one of analyzing a video captured by the video acquisition unit () at the position and the pose determined by the position and pose determination unit () and displaying the video.
