Displaying Objects Based On A Plurality Of Models - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18377989 titled 'Displaying Objects Based On A Plurality Of Models
Simplified Explanation
- System and method for displaying surfaces of an object from a different vantage point than the one from which imagery was captured. - Imagery is generated by combining visual characteristics from multiple source images and giving more weight to certain characteristics based on the orientation of the surface relative to the capture and display locations. - Weight is determined based on the orientation of the surface relative to the location from which the image was captured and the location from which the object will be displayed.
Potential Applications
- Virtual reality applications - Augmented reality experiences - 3D modeling and visualization tools
Problems Solved
- Limited perspectives in traditional imaging - Difficulty in visualizing objects from different angles - Inability to accurately represent surfaces in virtual environments
Benefits
- Enhanced visualization of objects - Improved user experience in virtual and augmented reality - More accurate representation of surfaces in digital environments
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and method is provided for displaying surfaces of an object from a vantage point different from the vantage point from which imagery of the object was captured. In some aspects, imagery may be generated for display by combining visual characteristics from multiple source images and applying greater weight to the visual characteristics of some of the source images relative to the other source images. The weight may be based on the orientation of the surface relative to the location from which the image was captured and the location from which the object will be displayed.
