  • Patent number: 11074448
    Abstract: A method for mapping 2-dimensional point of interest to a 3-dimensional view. The disclosed method includes capturing a 3-dimensional (3D) image with an augmented reality device. Matching images of a 2D image database with the captured 3D-image, the 2D image database containing 2-dimensional (2D) images associated with points of interest having a 2-dimensional (2D) data set. When the 2D-image matches the 3D image, capturing 3D-data for the matched 2D-image and converting the 2D-data set of the point-of-interest to a 3D-data set. The disclosed method simplifies the configuration of points of interest for 3D applications, such as an augmented reality device.
