ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) SKELETON DATA OF USER'S HAND PHOTOGRAPHED USING PLURALITY OF CAMERAS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18082190 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) SKELETON DATA OF USER'S HAND PHOTOGRAPHED USING PLURALITY OF CAMERAS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by an electronic device to obtain Three-Dimensional (3D) skeleton data of an object using two cameras.

  • The first camera captures a first image and the second camera captures a second image.
  • A first Region Of Interest (ROI) is obtained from the first image, which includes the object.
  • First skeleton data, comprising at least one keypoint of the object, is obtained from the first ROI.
  • A second ROI is obtained from the second image, based on the first skeleton data and information about the relative position of the cameras.
  • Second skeleton data, comprising at least one keypoint of the object, is obtained from the second ROI.
  • Finally, 3D skeleton data of the object is obtained based on the first and second skeleton data.

Potential Applications

  • Augmented reality applications
  • Virtual reality applications
  • Motion tracking systems
  • Robotics and automation

Problems Solved

  • Accurate and real-time 3D skeleton data extraction from multiple camera views
  • Overcoming limitations of single-camera systems in capturing depth information
  • Improving object recognition and tracking in various applications

Benefits

  • Enhanced accuracy and precision in capturing 3D skeleton data
  • Improved object recognition and tracking capabilities
  • Real-time processing and analysis of 3D skeleton data
  • Increased flexibility and robustness in various applications


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device performs a method of obtaining Three-Dimensional (3D) skeleton data of an object obtained by using a first camera and a second camera. The method includes: obtaining a first image using the first camera and obtaining a second image using the second camera; obtaining, from the first image, a first Region Of Interest (ROI) comprising the object; obtaining, from the first ROI, first skeleton data comprising at least one keypoint of the object; obtaining a second ROI from the second image, based on the first skeleton data and information about a relative position between the first camera and the second camera; obtaining, from the second ROI, second skeleton data comprising at least one keypoint of the object; and obtaining 3D skeleton data of the object, based on the first skeleton data and the second skeleton data.
