  • Devices, systems, and methods for generating proxy models for an enhanced scene
    Patent number: 9639987
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for generating proxy models obtain an image of a scene, generate a proxy model at an initial position and orientation in a world-coordinate system, and repositioning the proxy model to a second position or orientation in the world-coordinate system according to commands received from a controller.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2017
    Assignees: Canon Information and Imaging Solutions, Inc., Canon U.S.A., Inc.

  • Information processing apparatus and information processing method
    Patent number: 9548014
    Abstract: A plurality of types of arrangement pattern candidates are generated. Each arrangement pattern candidate is an arrangement pattern candidate of a plurality of indices in a physical space used to calculate the position and orientation of the viewpoint. The arrangement pattern candidate enables observation of a predetermined number or more of indices from a position in an area where mixed reality can be experienced in the physical space. Information representing the arrangement pattern of a plurality of indices in the physical space is generated by using the generated types of arrangement pattern candidates.
