ADAPTIVE IMAGE PROCESSING FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18118906 titled 'ADAPTIVE IMAGE PROCESSING FOR AUGMENTED REALITY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes adaptive image processing for an augmented reality (AR) device. It involves capturing an input image with a camera, determining a region of interest associated with a tracked object, and dynamically adjusting the crop-and-scale order for image processing.

  • **Object Tracking System**: Tracks objects in the input image.
  • **Crop-and-Scale Order**: Determines the order of image processing operations.
  • **Dynamic Adjustment**: Allows for the crop-and-scale order to be changed between a first and second order.
  • **Output Image Generation**: Creates an output image based on the determined crop-and-scale order.
  • **Object Tracking Integration**: The output image can be used by the object tracking system to track the object.

Original Abstract Submitted

Examples describe adaptive image processing for an augmented reality (AR) device. An input image is captured by a camera of the AR device, and a region of interest of the input image is determined. The region of interest is associated with an object that is being tracked using an object tracking system. A crop-and-scale order of an image processing operation directed at the region of interest is determined for the input image. One or more object tracking parameters may be used to determine the crop-and-scale order. The crop-and-scale order is dynamically adjustable between a first order and a second order. An output image is generated from the input image by performing the image processing operation according to the determined crop-and-scale order for the particular input image. The output image can be accessed by the object tracking system to track the object.
