ESTIMATING AND TRANSMITTING OBJECTS CAPTURED BY A CAMERA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311187 titled 'ESTIMATING AND TRANSMITTING OBJECTS CAPTURED BY A CAMERA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wireless device that can obtain an image from a camera, which includes at least one object with multiple dimensions. The image is a 2D projection of the object.

  • The wireless device calculates the dimensions of the object based on the 2D projection.
  • It also estimates the inverse depth of the object's dimensions using information about the camera or a reference object associated with the captured object.
  • The wireless device then transmits an indication of the object's dimensions, including the calculated dimensions and estimated inverse depth.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless device may obtain, from a camera, an image with at least one captured object, which may include a plurality of dimensions. The image may include a 2D projection of the at least one captured object. The wireless device may calculate at least one dimension of the plurality of dimensions of the at least one captured object based on the 2D projection of the at least one captured object. The wireless device may estimate an inverse depth of the plurality of dimensions of the at least one captured object based on information associated with one or more properties of the camera or of at least one reference object associated with the at least one captured object. The wireless device may transmit an indication of the plurality of dimensions of the at least one captured object including the calculated at least one dimension and the estimated inverse depth.
