Patent number: 10373380Abstract: Techniques are provided for 3D analysis of a scene including detection, segmentation and registration of objects within the scene. The analysis results may be used to implement augmented reality operations including removal and insertion of objects and the generation of blueprints. An example method may include receiving 3D image frames of the scene, each frame associated with a pose of a depth camera, and creating a 3D reconstruction of the scene based on depth pixels that are projected and accumulated into a global coordinate system. The method may also include detecting objects, and associated locations within the scene, based on the 3D reconstruction, the camera pose and the image frames. The method may further include segmenting the detected objects into points of the 3D reconstruction corresponding to contours of the object and registering the segmented objects to 3D models of the objects to determine their alignment.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Gershom Kutliroff, Yaron Yanai, Shahar Fleishman, Mark Kliger

Publication number: 20180284914Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) device to be worn by a user in a physical environment (PE) is controlled. A 3D virtual environment (VE) is modeled to include a virtual controllable object subject to virtual control input. Motion of the position, head, and hands of the user is monitored in the PE, and a physical surface in the PE is detected. A virtual user interface (vUI) is placed in the VE relative to a virtual perspective of the user. The vUI includes an information display and at least one virtual touch control to produce the virtual control input in response to virtual manipulation of the virtual touch control. The vUI's placement is determined to coincide with the physical surface in the PE relative to the position of the user in the PE.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2017Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Yaron Yanai, Eliyahu Elhadad, Kfir Viente, Amir Rosenberger, Maoz Madmony

Patent number: 9939914Abstract: Systems and methods for combining three-dimensional tracking of a user's movements with a three-dimensional user interface display is described. A tracking module processes depth data of a user performing movements, for example, movements of the user's hands and fingers. The tracked movements are used to animate a representation of the hand and fingers, and the animated representation is displayed to the user using three-dimensional display. Also displayed are one or more virtual objects with which the user can interact. In some embodiments, the interaction of the user with the virtual objects controls an electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Shahar Fleishman, Gershom Kutliroff, Yaron Yanai
