INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT PROCESSES 3D INFORMATION, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240212183 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT PROCESSES 3D INFORMATION, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

The abstract describes an information processing apparatus for handling three-dimensional (3D) information. This apparatus obtains 3D shape data representing an object's shape and image data of a field of view containing the object. It then generates a depth map based on the 3D shape data and increases the resolution of a specific area of interest within the depth map. Finally, the apparatus generates 3D shape data based on the depth map with increased resolution in the area of interest.

  • The apparatus processes 3D information by obtaining shape data and image data, generating a depth map, and enhancing resolution in a specific area of interest.
  • It improves the quality of 3D shape data by increasing resolution in key areas, providing more detailed information.
  • This innovation allows for more accurate representation of 3D objects in digital environments.
  • The technology can be applied in various fields such as virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D modeling, and computer vision.
  • By enhancing resolution in specific areas, the apparatus improves the overall quality and accuracy of 3D reconstructions.

Potential Applications

The technology can be utilized in industries such as gaming, architecture, medical imaging, and geospatial mapping for more precise and detailed 3D representations.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the challenge of accurately capturing and representing 3D objects in digital environments by enhancing resolution in key areas of interest.

Benefits
