TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND RECEPTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341382 titled 'TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM, AND RECEPTION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transmission apparatus that includes a communication interface and a controller. The apparatus is capable of acquiring a depth image obtained by at least one depth camera, identifying a window corresponding to the position of a subject within the measurement range, and transmitting the identified window to a reception apparatus. Additionally, the controller converts the measured distance into a relative distance within the window for each pixel of the depth image and transmits the converted value as pixel data to the reception apparatus.

  • The transmission apparatus includes a communication interface for communication with a reception apparatus.
  • The controller of the apparatus acquires a depth image obtained by at least one depth camera.
  • The depth image is used to identify a window corresponding to the position of the subject within the measurement range.
  • The identified window is transmitted to the reception apparatus via the communication interface.
  • The controller converts the measured distance into a relative distance within the window for each pixel of the depth image.
  • The resulting converted value is transmitted as pixel data to the reception apparatus via the communication interface.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in various applications that require depth sensing and transmission, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and robotics.
  • It can be applied in gaming consoles or devices to enhance the gaming experience by accurately capturing the depth information of the players or objects.
  • In robotics, this technology can enable robots to perceive and interact with their environment more effectively by providing accurate depth information.

Problems Solved

  • The transmission apparatus solves the problem of accurately transmitting depth information to a reception apparatus.
  • It addresses the challenge of identifying a specific window within the measurement range corresponding to the position of the subject.
  • The apparatus solves the problem of converting measured distances into relative distances within the identified window for each pixel of the depth image.

Benefits

  • The transmission apparatus allows for efficient and accurate transmission of depth information.
  • It enables real-time depth sensing and transmission, which is crucial in applications that require immediate and precise depth perception.
  • The technology provides flexibility in identifying and transmitting specific windows within the measurement range, allowing for targeted depth information transmission.


Original Abstract Submitted

A transmission apparatus includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a reception apparatus, and a controller configured to acquire a depth image obtained by at least one depth camera measuring distances to a subject within a measurement range, identify, with reference to the acquired depth image, a window corresponding to a position of the subject from among a plurality of windows set within the measurement range and aligned in a depth direction, transmit a window identifier identifying the identified window to the reception apparatus via the communication interface, and for each pixel of the depth image, convert a measured distance into a relative distance within the window and transmit a resulting converted value as pixel data to the reception apparatus via the communication interface.
