Platform for Registering and Processing Visual Encodings - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240135126 titled 'Platform for Registering and Processing Visual Encodings
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure involves processing machine-readable visual encodings in the context of surrounding information. One embodiment includes obtaining image data of a scene with a machine-readable visual encoding, processing the data with two recognition systems - one for the encoding and one for the surrounding scene, identifying a stored reference associated with the encoding based on the outputs of both systems, and taking actions based on this identification.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- Obtaining image data with a machine-readable visual encoding - Processing the data with two recognition systems - one for the encoding and one for the surrounding scene - Identifying a stored reference associated with the encoding based on the outputs of both systems - Taking actions based on the identification of the stored reference
Potential applications of this technology: - Retail: Identifying products through barcodes or QR codes in stores - Augmented reality: Enhancing user experiences by recognizing visual encodings in the environment
Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient processing of machine-readable visual encodings in complex scenes - Accurate identification of stored references associated with the encodings
Benefits of this technology: - Improved accuracy and speed in recognizing visual encodings - Enhanced user experiences through contextual information processing
Potential commercial applications of this technology: - Retail inventory management systems - Augmented reality applications for tourism and entertainment
Possible prior art: - Image recognition systems used in various industries for object identification - Barcode scanning technology in retail and logistics
Questions: 1. How does this technology handle complex scenes with multiple machine-readable visual encodings? 2. What are the limitations of the two recognition systems in processing image data accurately?
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates generally to the processing of machine-readable visual encodings in view of contextual information. one embodiment of aspects of the present disclosure comprises obtaining image data descriptive of a scene that includes a machine-readable visual encoding; processing the image data with a first recognition system configured to recognize the machine-readable visual encoding; processing the image data with a second, different recognition system configured to recognize a surrounding portion of the scene that surrounds the machine-readable visual encoding; identifying a stored reference associated with the machine-readable visual encoding based at least in part on one or more first outputs generated by the first recognition system based on the image data and based at least in part on one or more second outputs generated by the second recognition system based on the image data; and performing one or more actions responsive to identification of the stored reference.
