INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354159 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
An information processing device described in the patent application includes a memory and a processor. It performs the following functions:
- Acquisition unit: Acquires a first white-balance correction value for a real-space image.
- Determination unit: Determines a second white-balance correction value for a virtual-space image based on the first white-balance correction value.
- Correction unit: Corrects the virtual-space image using the second white-balance correction value.
- Superimposing unit: Superimposes the corrected virtual-space image onto the real-space image.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Image processing: The device can be used in various image processing applications, such as photography, video editing, and computer graphics.
- Augmented reality (AR): The technology can be utilized in AR applications to superimpose virtual objects or information onto real-world scenes.
- Virtual reality (VR): The device can enhance VR experiences by correcting the color balance of virtual images to match the real-world environment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Color inconsistency: The technology addresses the issue of color inconsistency between real-space and virtual-space images by applying appropriate white-balance correction values.
- Realism in virtual environments: By correcting the color balance of virtual images based on the real-world environment, the technology improves the realism of virtual environments.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced image quality: The white-balance correction ensures that virtual images blend seamlessly with real-world images, resulting in improved overall image quality.
- Realistic virtual experiences: By accurately matching the color balance of virtual images to the real-world environment, the technology enhances the realism of virtual experiences.
- Simplified image processing: The device automates the process of determining and applying white-balance correction values, reducing the manual effort required for image processing tasks.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing device according to the present invention includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a first white-balance correction value corresponding to a white-balance correction value to be applied to a real-space image; a determination unit configured to determine, on a basis of the first white-balance correction value, a second white-balance correction value that is a white-balance correction value to be applied to a virtual-space image; a correction unit configured to correct the virtual-space image on a basis of the second white-balance correction value; and a superimposing unit configured to superimpose a virtual-space image after correction by the correction unit on the real-space image.
