  • Patent number: 8903177
    Abstract: The invention in particular relates to the hybrid tracking of representations of objects in a sequence of images using at least one key image. After acquiring a first and second images including a representation of the tracked object, a first image portion is identified in the first image, and a second image portion is retrieved from the key image. A relative pose of a first image portion of said second image, similar to the first image portion of the first image, is estimated. A second image portion of the first or second image, similar to the second image portion of the key image, is sought. The relative pose of the object is then estimated according to the relative poses of the first image portions and the second image portions.

  • Publication number: 20120129605
    Abstract: The invention relates in particular to the detection of interactions with a software application according to a movement of an object situated in the field of an image sensor. After having received a first and a second image and having identified a first region of interest in the first image, a second region of interest, corresponding to the first region of interest, is identified in the second image. The first and second regions of interest are compared and a mask of interest characterizing a variation of at least one feature of corresponding points in the first and second regions of interest is determined. A movement of the object is then determined from said mask of interest. The movement is analyzed and, in response, a predetermined action is triggered or not triggered.

  • Publication number: 20100002909
    Abstract: The invention consists in a system for detection in real time of interactions between a user and an augmented reality scene, the interactions resulting from the modification of the appearance of an object present in the image. After having created (110) and processed (115) a reference model in an initialization phase (100), the pose of the object in the image is determined (135) and a comparison model is extracted from the image (160). The reference and comparison models are compared (170), as a function of said determined pose of the object, and, in response to the comparison step, the interactions are detected.
