  • Patent number: 9823755
    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for recognizing an object, the method including emitting one or more arranged patterns of infrared rays (IR) from an infrared emitter towards a projection region, the one or more arranged patterns of infrared rays forming unique dot patterns; mapping the one or more arranged patterns of infrared rays on the operation region to generate a reference image; capturing an IR image and a RGB image of an object with a wearable device, the wearable device including an infrared (IR) camera and a RGB camera; extracting IR dots from the IR image and determining a match between the extracted IR dots and the reference image; determining a position of the RGB image on the reference image; and mapping the position of the RGB image to a coordinate on the projection region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8836845
    Abstract: An imaging device having an optical imaging system which has a parallel plate which is transparent at least in a visible light region, is joined by adhesives and is held on a holding member, wherein the holding member including: an opening section which is provided in order to pass light rays from the optical imaging system; a holding surface for holding a periphery of the parallel plate, formed around the opening section in a square shape, and intersecting perpendicularly to an optical axis of the optical imaging system; a side wall which is provided to stand parallel to the optical axis at an outside with respect to the opening section of the holding surface; and an adhesive collecting section which is arranged in each of four corners of the holding surface and is hollowed from the holding surface.
