  • Publication number: 20190370994
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining first pass-through image data characterized by a first pose. The method includes obtaining respective pixel characterization vectors for pixels in the first pass-through image data. The method includes identifying a feature of an object within the first pass-through image data in accordance with a determination that pixel characterization vectors for the feature satisfy a feature confidence threshold. The method includes displaying the first pass-through image data and an AR display marker that corresponds to the feature. The method includes obtaining second pass-through image data characterized by a second pose. The method includes transforming the AR display marker to a position associated with the second pose in order to track the feature. The method includes displaying the second pass-through image data and maintaining display of the AR display marker that corresponds to the feature of the object based on the transformation.

  • Patent number: 8614747
    Abstract: A mark which at least reflects or radiates invisible light of predetermined wavelength other than visible light is added in a space of the real world. A camera apparatus comprises image capturing means for capturing a real image in which an invisible-light image may be discriminating. An image processing apparatus, comprises: mark discriminating means for discriminating at least one condition of a position of image of mark in the captured real image, a orientation of the mark, and a distance from the mark to the image capturing means, and overlaying condition determining means for determining, in correspondence with the discriminated condition, a overlaying condition which is at least one of an overlaying position which is a position of the image of the virtual object overlaid on the captured real image in the real image, an orientation of the virtual object which the image of the virtual object indicates, and a distance from a view point of viewer, of the image of the virtual object.
