  • Patent number: 9135735
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided to transition 3D space information detected in an Augmented Reality (AR) view of a mobile device to screen aligned information on the mobile device. In at least one implementation, a method includes determining augmentation information associated with an object of interest, including a Modelview (M1) matrix and a Projection (P1) matrix, displaying the augmentation information on top of a video image of the object of interest using the M1 and P1 matrices, generating a second Modelview (M2) matrix and a second Projection (P2) matrix, such that the matrices M2 and P2 represent the screen aligned final position of the augmentation information, and displaying the augmentation information using the M2 and P2 matrices.

  • Patent number: 8976191
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for creating a realistic color for a virtual object in an Augmented Reality environment produced by an Augmented Reality application. In one embodiment, the functions implemented include: selecting a reference image target frame; selecting a plurality of sample points in the reference image target frame; acquiring a subsequent new image target frame; determining a plurality of corresponding sample points in the new image target frame wherein the plurality of corresponding sample points correspond to the plurality of sample points in the reference image target frame; comparing a color of each of the plurality of sample points in the reference image target frame with a color of each of the corresponding sample points in the new image target frame and computing a Color Transfer function based at least in part on the comparison; and applying the Color Transfer function to the color of the virtual object.
