  • Patent number: 12190588
    Abstract: A system for tracking a target object across a plurality of image frames. The system comprises a logic machine and a storage machine. The storage machine holds instructions executable by the logic machine to calculate a trajectory for the target object over one or more previous frames occurring before a target frame. Responsive to assessing no detection of the target object in the target frame, the instructions are executable to predict an estimated region for the target object based on the trajectory, predict an occlusion center based on a set of candidate occluding locations for a set of other objects within a threshold distance of the estimated region, each location of the set of candidate occluding locations overlapping with the estimated region, and automatically estimate a bounding box for the target object in the target frame based on the occlusion center.

  • Patent number: 12175608
    Abstract: Multi-player co-located AR experiences are augmented by assigning characters and costumes to respective participants (a.k.a. “users” of AR-enabled mobile devices) in multi-player AR sessions for storytelling, play acting, and the like. Body tracking technology and augmented reality (AR) software are used to decorate the bodies of the co-located participants with virtual costumes within the context of the multi-player co-located AR experiences. Tracked bodies are distinguished to determine which body belongs to which user and hence which virtual costume belongs to which tracked body so that corresponding costumes may be assigned for display in augmented reality. A host-guest mechanism is used for networked assignment of characters and corresponding costumes in the co-located multi-player AR session. Body tracking technology is used to move the costume with the body as movement of the assigned body is detected.
