Camera Calibration - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17717354 Titled 'Camera Calibration'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for enhancing user experiences with cameras by calibrating their height and tilt angle. The method involves using two images of a user taken from different locations relative to the camera. These images only capture the user's upper body and not the full body. By estimating the distance between the two locations and analyzing the images, the camera's height and tilt angle can be adjusted without needing a full body image of the user.
Original Abstract Submitted
The description relates to cameras, and camera calibration for enhancing user experiences. One example can receive a first image of a user at a first location relative to a camera. The first image can include the user's upper body but does not include the user from head to toe. The example can receive a second image of the user at a second location relative to a camera. The second image can include the user's upper body but does not include the user from head to toe. The example can estimate a distance of the second location from the first location relative to the camera and calibrate a height and tilt angle of the camera from the first image, the second image, and the estimated distance and without a full body image of the user.
