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.
