INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18298410 Titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system that calculates the similarity between different virtual viewpoints. If the similarity meets a predetermined condition, the system will change the display on the image display unit. This could include showing a warning display to notify the operator of a similar virtual viewpoint and displaying the image capturing frame of that viewpoint alongside the operator's own virtual viewpoint image.


Original Abstract Submitted

The degree of similarity calculation unit calculates the degree of similarity between the virtual viewpoint parameters of the virtual viewpoint operated by its own apparatus and the virtual viewpoint parameters of another virtual viewpoint and in a case where it is determined that the degree of similarity satisfies a similarity condition determined in advance, the control unit causes the display of the image display unit to be changed. For example, the warning display for giving a notification that another virtual viewpoint whose virtual viewpoint parameters are similar exists and the image capturing frame of the other similar virtual viewpoint are displayed together with the virtual viewpoint image representing the appearance from the virtual viewpoint operated by the operator him/herself.
