摘要: A method of incorporating an augmented reality video image into a virtual environment comprises detecting a state of a real-world control object captured in a video image and augmenting the video image responsive to the state of the control object. The method further includes calculating trajectory parameters for an action with respect to a local coordinate system of the video image, responsive to the state of the control object, and embedding the augmented video image within a 3D virtual environment. The method also includes calculating the trajectory parameters for the action with respect to a local co-ordinate system of the 3D virtual environment, and rendering a graphical effect corresponding to the action within the 3D virtual environment.

摘要: A method of assisting a first player of a videogame is provided. The method includes making a game state of the first player accessible to a second player. The game state describes a state of the videogame as played by the first player. The method also includes executing the videogame for the second player using the game state of the first player to define the initial state of the videogame for the second player, allowing the second player to play the videogame based upon the game state of the first player until a first predetermined criterion is met, and providing to the first player data for updating their game state in response to the play of the second player.

摘要: A portable electronic device comprises a video camera for capturing a sequence of video images and an image processor operable to compress a first region of a current video image to a first extent and a second region of the current video image to a second, greater, extent to generate a processed current video image. The device includes a network communications interface operable to send processed video images to a server, and to receive control data from the server. The image processor is operable to augment the current video image with one or more computer graphic elements. Control data received from the server comprises image region information indicating a region of a video image estimated to comprise a predetermined marker and optionally augmentation instructions. Furthermore, the image processor is operable to define the first region of the current video image responsive to the image region information from the server.

摘要: A book for use with augmented reality applications includes a plurality of stiff leaves, each side of which forms a page of the book. On each page a respective fiduciary marker is positioned substantially in the middle of the page. Each fiduciary marker comprises a different respective asymmetric pattern capable of indicating the scale and orientation of the book to an augmented reality application and of indicating the respective page, and a non-alphanumeric pattern positioned closer to an outside edge of the page of the book than the fiduciary marker. The non-alphanumeric pattern on a respective page is capable of indicating at least the opposing page pair comprising the respective page on which the non-alphanumeric pattern is positioned, when used in conjunction with the scale and orientation of the book as indicated by a fiduciary marker on a different page to that of the respective non-alphanumeric pattern.

摘要: A method of stereoscopic panoramic image capture of a virtual environment is provided. The method includes pausing the state of a virtual environment being implemented by an application. For each of a plurality of positions in the virtual environment, the method includes rendering in turn plural images collectively encompassing a panoramic view. The method also includes capturing in turn each of the plural rendered images and capturing distance data describing the distance between a respective position in the virtual environment and surfaces in the virtual environment visible at that respective position. The plural positions in the virtual environment form vertices of a bounding space within which left and right viewpoints of a stereoscopic image can be formed.

摘要: An imaging system includes a video camera having a wide field of view lens, an imaging sensor operable to form a first image having a first pixel area, and an interface operable to receive commands from a host entertainment device. The video camera is operable to receive a command requesting at least one secondary image having a second pixel area for a 3D mapping of a portion of the first image. The system includes a graphics processor operable to perform the 3D mapping to generate the at least one each secondary image from the first image. The 3D mapping transforms a section of the first image depicting a surface having a normal in a first direction to form a secondary image in which the normal of that surface faces directly out of the secondary image.

摘要: A method generates a three-dimensional map of a region from successive images of that region captured from different camera poses. The method captures successive images of the region, detects a gravitational vertical direction in respect of each captured image, detects feature points within the captured images and designates a subset of the captured images as a set of keyframes each having respective sets of image position data representing image positions of landmark points detected as feature points in that image. The method also includes, for a captured image (i) deriving a camera pose from detected feature points in the image; (ii) rotating the gravitational vertical direction to the coordinates of a reference keyframe using the camera poses derived for that image and the reference keyframe; and (iii) comparing the rotated direction with the actual gravitational vertical direction for the reference keyframe to detect a quality measure of that image.

摘要: A display method is provided using a display that is operable to display an image to a viewer. The display method includes detecting one or both of an initial position and/or orientation of the viewer's head, and generating an image for display according to the detected position and/or orientation. A current position and/or orientation of the viewer's head are detected at a time at which the image is to be displayed. The method also includes re-projecting the generated image according to any differences between the initial position and/or orientation and the current position and/or orientation of the viewer's head, and displaying the re-projected image using the display.
