AUGMENTED REALITY IMAGE REPRODUCTION ASSISTANT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17852134 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY IMAGE REPRODUCTION ASSISTANT

Simplified Explanation

An image copying assistant is a computer application that helps users copy a digital image onto a physical canvas using traditional media. It uses augmented reality techniques to project features of the digital image onto the canvas.

  • The image copying assistant detects markers in the camera's output to determine the plane and boundaries of the canvas.
  • It uses this information to position the digital image on the display of the computing device.

Potential Applications

  • Artistic copying: Artists can use this technology to easily transfer digital images onto physical canvases for painting or drawing.
  • Educational tool: Students learning to paint or draw can use the image copying assistant to practice replicating digital images onto paper or canvas.

Problems Solved

  • Difficulty in accurately transferring digital images onto physical canvases.
  • Time-consuming process of manually measuring and positioning the image on the canvas.

Benefits

  • Simplifies the process of copying digital images onto physical canvases.
  • Provides accurate positioning and scaling of the digital image on the canvas.
  • Saves time and effort for artists and students.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image copying assistant is a computing application configured to aid users in copying a digital image to a physical canvas using traditional media on the physical canvas. The image copying assistant utilizes augmented reality techniques to present features of the digital image projected onto the physical canvas. The image copying assistant detects previously generated markers in an output of a digital image sensor of a camera of a computing device and use the detected markers to calculate the plane and boundaries of the surface of the physical canvas. The image copying assistant uses the calculated plane and boundaries to determine a position of the digital image on a display of the computing device.
