Abstract: The invention relates to a method for representing a virtual object in a real environment, having the following steps: generating a two-dimensional representation of a real environment by means of a recording device, ascertaining a position of the recording device relative to at least one component of the real environment, segmenting at least one area of the real environment in the two-dimensional image on the basis of non-manually generated 3D information for identifying at least one segment of the real environment in distinction to a remaining part of the real environment while supplying corresponding segmentation data, and merging the two-dimensional image of the real environment with the virtual object or, by means of an optical, semitransparent element directly with reality with consideration of the segmentation data. The invention permits any collisions of virtual objects with real objects that occur upon merging with a real environment to be represented in a way largely close to reality.

Abstract: A scene to be rendered is divided into plural individual sub-regions or tiles. The individual sub-regions 51 are also grouped into differing groups of sets of plural sub-regions. There is a top level layer comprising a set of 8×8 sub-regions which encompasses the entire scene area. There is then a group of four 4×4 sets of sub-regions, then a group of sixteen 2×2 sets of sub-regions, and finally a layer comprising the 64 single sub-regions. A primitive list building processor takes each primitive in turn, determines a location for that primitive, compares the primitive's location with the locations of the sub-regions and the locations of the sets of sub-regions, and allocates the primitive to respective primitive lists for the sub-regions and sets of sub-regions accordingly.

Abstract: With inventive processing making use of surface-reconstruction and capping steps, more imagery acquired by 3C cameras can be put to use in augmented reality applications, especially applications, such as medical reconstruction, in which a certain theoretical ideal fit might be wanted but can be difficult or seemingly impossible to achieve due to highly complex, irregular shapes, perimeters and surfaces involved.
