IMAGE CAPTURING WHILE CIRCUMNAVIGATING OBJECTS USING MOBILE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240353835 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING WHILE CIRCUMNAVIGATING OBJECTS USING MOBILE DEVICES
The patent application describes apparatuses, computer-readable medium, and methods for capturing images while circumnavigating objects using mobile devices.
- Capturing an image, identifying an object within the image, determining a path around the object, and the number of images to capture of the object.
- Dividing the path by the number of images to determine waypoints and navigating the mobile device to each waypoint to capture an image of the object.
- The mobile device can identify objects based on gestures, determine paths to circumnavigate objects, and assist in navigation by determining height above the ground.
Potential Applications: - Augmented reality applications - Navigation assistance for visually impaired individuals - Object recognition and tracking in various industries such as retail and manufacturing
Problems Solved: - Efficiently capturing images of objects from different angles - Providing navigation assistance based on object recognition - Enhancing user experience in augmented reality applications

Original Abstract Submitted
apparatuses, computer readable medium, and methods for image capturing while circumnavigating objects using mobile devices are disclosed. example methods include capturing an image, processing the image to identify an object within the image, determining a path around the object and a number of images to capture of the object, dividing the path by the number of images to determine a number of waypoints, and navigating the mobile device to the waypoints and capturing an image of the object at each waypoint of the waypoints. examples include a person pointing at an object and the mobile device identifying the object based on the person pointing at the object. the mobile device determines a bounding box and a geometric center of the bounding box to determine the path to circumnavigate the object. the mobile device determines a height above a ground to assist in navigation.
