  • Virtual item simulation using detected surfaces
    Patent number: 10909768
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for simulating one or more virtual objects (e.g., renders) based on characteristics of detected surfaces. Mask data may be generated which can be used to delineate borders depicted in a given image. The mask data can be refined based on a quantity of depicted image features (e.g., edges). The mask data can be used to generate one or more planes on which virtual items can be applied and rendered.
    Type: Grant
