SCENE CLASSIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244879 titled 'SCENE CLASSIFICATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a process for identifying a type of physical environment using image data from cameras, identifying entities within the environment, determining the type of entity, and presenting virtual objects related to the entity.
- Obtaining image data of a physical environment using one or more cameras
- Identifying entities within the environment based on the image data
- Determining if the entity belongs to a specific type
- Identifying the type of physical environment based on the entity
- Presenting virtual objects and a representation of the entity
Potential Applications:
- Augmented reality applications
- Environmental monitoring and analysis
- Security and surveillance systems
Problems Solved:
- Efficient identification and classification of physical environments
- Enhanced user experience in virtual environments
- Improved data collection and analysis in various fields
Benefits:
- Accurate identification of physical environments
- Enhanced visualization of entities within the environment
- Increased efficiency in data processing and analysis
Original Abstract Submitted
An exemplary process for identifying a type of a physical environment amongst a plurality of types of physical environments is provided. The process includes obtaining, using the one or more cameras, image data corresponding to a physical environment. The process further includes identifying at least one portion of an entity in the physical environment based on the image data; determining, based on the identified at least one portion of the entity, whether the entity is an entity of a first type; determining a type of the physical environment if the entity is an entity of the first type; and presenting one or more virtual objects and a representation of the entity.
