VIDEO PROCESSING WITH PREVIEW OF AR EFFECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240037882 titled 'VIDEO PROCESSING WITH PREVIEW OF AR EFFECTS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a device that combines a display and a camera to provide image augmentation effects. It applies a simplified augmented reality effect to a stream of images captured by the camera, generating a preview stream of images that are displayed on the device's display. A second stream of images, corresponding to the first stream, is saved to an initial video file. Then, a full augmented reality effect is applied to the second stream of images, generating a fully-augmented stream of images that are saved to a further video file. This further video file can be played back on the display to show the final, fully augmented reality effect applied to the stream of images.

  • The device includes a display and a camera.
  • A simplified augmented reality effect is applied to a stream of images captured by the camera.
  • The preview stream of images, with the simplified augmented reality effect, is displayed on the device's display.
  • A second stream of images, corresponding to the first stream, is saved to an initial video file.
  • A full augmented reality effect is applied to the second stream of images.
  • The fully-augmented stream of images is saved to a further video file.
  • The further video file can be played back on the display to show the final augmented reality effect.

Potential Applications:

  • Entertainment industry: Creating augmented reality effects for movies, TV shows, and video games.
  • Advertising and marketing: Enhancing advertisements with augmented reality effects to attract and engage customers.
  • Education and training: Using augmented reality to provide interactive and immersive learning experiences.
  • Virtual tours and real estate: Adding augmented reality elements to virtual tours of properties or locations.

Problems Solved:

  • Enhances the user experience by providing augmented reality effects in real-time.
  • Simplifies the process of applying augmented reality effects to a stream of images.
  • Allows for previewing and saving different levels of augmented reality effects.

Benefits:

  • Provides a more engaging and immersive visual experience for users.
  • Allows for creativity and innovation in various industries.
  • Simplifies the creation and application of augmented reality effects.
  • Enables real-time previewing and saving of augmented reality effects.


Original Abstract Submitted

image augmentation effects are provided on a device that includes a display and a camera. a simplified augmented reality effect is applied to a stream of images captured by the camera, to generate a preview stream of images. the preview stream of images is displayed on the display. a second stream of images corresponding to the first stream of images is saved to an initial video file. a full augmented reality effect, corresponding to the simplified augmented reality affect, is then applied to the second stream of images to generate a fully-augmented stream of images, which are saved to a further video file. the further video file can then be played back on the display to show the final, fully augmented reality effect as applied to the stream of images.
