Patent number: 9996974Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described for constructing a digital representation of a physical scene by obtaining information about the physical scene. Based on the information, an initial portion of a planar surface within the physical scene may be identified. In one aspect of the disclosure, constructing a digital representation of a physical scene may include obtaining information about the physical scene, identifying a planar surface within the physical scene, selecting a physical object within the physical scene, placed above the planar surface, detecting properties associated with the physical object, generating a three-dimensional (3D) reconstructed object using the properties associated with the physical object, and representing the planar surface as an augmented reality (AR) plane in an augmented reality environment, wherein the AR plane in the AR environment is capable of supporting 3D reconstructed objects on top of it.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Irene Reisner-Kollmann, Istvan Siklossy, Qi Pan, Michael Gervautz, Andrew Gee

Patent number: 9607437Abstract: Techniques described herein provide a method for defining virtual content for real objects that are unknown or unidentified at the time of the development of the application for an augmented reality (AR) environment. For example, at the time of development of an AR application, the application developer may not know the context that the mobile device may operate in and consequently the types or classes of real object and the number of real objects that the AR application may encounter. In one embodiment, the mobile device may detect unknown objects from a physical scene. The mobile device may then associate an object template with the unknown object based on the physical attributes, such as height, shape, size, etc., associated with the unknown object. The mobile device may render a display object at the pose of the unknown object using at least one display property of the object template.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Irene Reisner-Kollmann, Istvan Siklossy, Johannes Scharl, Roy Lawrence Ashok Inigo, Umberto Laurent Cannarsa

Patent number: 9595125Abstract: Techniques are presented for expanding a digital representation of a physical plane from a physical scene. In some aspects, a method may include determining an orientation and an initial portion of a physical plane in the scene, and subdividing a rectified image for the scene into a plurality of grid cells. For the grid cells, an image signature may be generated. A grid cell contiguous to the obtained initial portion of the plane is determined to include part of the plane. An iterative process may be performed for each neighboring grid cell from the grid cell contiguous to at least part of the obtained initial portion, determining whether the neighboring grid cell is to be included as part of the plane if the image signature of said neighboring grid cell is similar to the image signature of a grid cell already determined to be included as part of the plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Qi Pan, Istvan Siklossy, Irene Reisner-Kollmann, Michael Gervautz, Per Orum Nielsen, Roy Lawrence Ashok Inigo

Publication number: 20130050499Abstract: A mobile platform in a multi-user system tracks its own position with respect to an object and tracks remote mobile platforms despite being an unknown moving objects. The mobile platform captures images of the object and tracks its position with respect to the object as the position changes over time using the multiple images. The mobile platform receives the position of a remote mobile platform with respect to the object as the second position changes over time. The mobile platform tracks the position of the mobile platform with respect to the remote mobile platform using the position of the mobile platform and the received position of the remote mobile platform. The mobile platform may render virtual content with respect to the object and the remote mobile platform based on the tracked positions or may detect or control interactions or trigger events based on the tracked positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Istvan Siklossy, Michael Gervautz
