CONTEXTUALIZED VISUAL SEARCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18528119 titled 'CONTEXTUALIZED VISUAL SEARCH
The patent application describes devices, systems, and methods that provide a view of a physical environment with a visual effect based on determining whether an object is a searched-for object.
- Determining if an object in a physical environment is the searched-for object based on depth-based data obtained from sensors.
- Providing a view of the physical environment with a visual effect based on the determination of whether the object is the searched-for object.
Potential Applications:
- Security systems for identifying specific objects in a physical environment.
- Augmented reality applications for enhancing user experiences in various settings.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient identification of specific objects in a crowded or complex physical environment.
- Enhancing visual displays to highlight important objects of interest.
Benefits:
- Improved security measures through accurate object identification.
- Enhanced user experiences through interactive visual effects.
Commercial Applications:
- Security systems for airports, museums, and other high-security locations.
- Augmented reality applications for gaming, tourism, and education sectors.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve object identification in comparison to traditional methods? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using depth-based data for object identification?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on improving the accuracy and speed of object identification using depth-based data is ongoing in the fields of computer vision and artificial intelligence.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that provide a view of a physical environment with a visual effect based on determining whether an object is a searched-for object. For example, an example process may include determining an objective corresponding to identifying a searched-for object in a physical environment including one or more objects. The process may further include obtaining depth-based data based on sensor data captured by one or more sensors in the physical environment. The process may further include determining, based on the determined objective and the depth-based data, whether a first object in the physical environment is the searched-for object. The process may further include, in accordance with determining whether the first object is the searched-for object, providing a view of the physical environment with a visual effect.
