  • Publication number: 20220414983
    Abstract: An object detection unit 31 detects, for example, a moving object and a detection target object that coincides with a registered object registered in an object database from an input image. A map processing unit 32 updates information of an area corresponding to the detected object in a 3D map including a signed distance, a weight parameter, and an object ID label according to an object detection result by the object detection unit 31. For example, when the moving object is detected, the map processing unit 32 initializes information of an area corresponding to the moving object in the 3D map. The map processing unit 32 registers an object map of the detected moving object in the object database. When the detection target object is detected, the map processing unit 32 converts an object map of the registered object that coincides with the detection target object according to a posture of the detection target object and integrates the same with the 3D map.

  • Publication number: 20220392174
    Abstract: A template AR content can be favorably used in an application scene different from the scene at the time of creation. An environment map of an augmented reality application scene is generated. An abstract representation of the augmented reality application scene is generated on the basis of the environment map of the augmented reality scene. The abstract representation of the augmented reality application scene is compared with an abstract representation of a template augmented reality generated on the basis of a template augmented reality environment map, and template augmented reality content is mapped to the augmented reality application scene on the basis of a result of the comparison. Thus, augmented reality content for display is generated. For example, the abstract representation of the augmented reality application scene or the abstract representation of the template augmented reality can be edited.
