    摘要: A system enables multiple users to interact with a picture presentation. The system includes a display surface having a horizontal orientation, preferably circular. A processor is configured to composite an image. The composite image includes a picture display area, an orientation area, and a plurality of control panels. There is one control panel for each of the users. A database, coupled to the processor, stores annotated pictures. Selected annotated pictures are to be composited into the picture display area of the displayed image. The pictures are selected using the control panel. A display device, coupled to the processor, displays the composite image on the display surface, and an input device is used to interact with the control panels, the orientation area, and the annotated pictures to enable the users to concurrently control the compositing of the sequence of images.

    摘要: A wireless location and identification system includes a controller and a tag. The controller has a projector configured to generate a unique temporal sequence of light intensities for each pixel in an output image of the projector and a wireless transceiver configured to emit an output signal and receive an input signal. The tag includes a photo-sensor configured to sense the unique temporal sequence of light intensities of a particular pixel, a transducer configured to receive the output signal from the transceiver, and a means for modulating, according to the unique temporal sequence of light intensities, the input signal for the transceiver in response to receiving the output signal and sensing the unique temporal sequence of light intensities of the particular pixel to indicate a location of the tag to the controller.

    摘要: A method displays an output image on an object. A set of unique markers are fixed to the object at predetermined locations. An input image of the object and the markers is acquired with a camera in a fixed physical relationship to a projector. A pose of the projector with respect to the markers is determined from the image. Then, one or more output images related to the object can be projected onto the object, at predetermine locations, according to the pose of the projector and the unique markers.

    摘要: A position and orientation of a projector are determined from projected images. First, a homography between a camera and a planar surface, where the relationship between the camera and planar surface is fixed, is determined. Next, a known pattern is projected on the planar surface with a projector having known intrinsic parameters and an unknown position and orientation. An image of the known pattern is acquired with the camera, and a position and orientation of the projector is determined from the image using the homography and the intrinsic parameters.

    摘要: Surface normals and other 3D shape descriptors are determined for a specular or hybrid specular-diffuse object. A camera records an image of a smoothly spatially-varying pattern being reflected in the surface of the object, with the pattern placed at an initial position. The camera then records multiple images of the pattern undergoing a sequence of subsequent displacements to a final position distinct from the initial position. For a pixel in the images, the pattern displacement that corresponds to the minimum difference between the pixel value in the initial image and any of the final images is determined. The incident ray that strikes the surface of the object at the point being imaged by the pixel is then determined using the determined pattern displacement. The surface normal at that same surface point is then determined using the determined incident ray. Other 3D shape descriptors are determined from the surface normals of the object, such as principal curvatures, or the principal axes of a parametric surface, or the 3D shape, or the object pose.

    摘要: A method determines a shape of an object in from an image. A visual hull larger than the object is constructed such that the object can be entirely contained within the visual hull. An image is acquired of the object by a camera. The visual hull is projected onto the image according to a position and pose of the camera.Seed pixels in the image are selected. The seed pixels are located on the projected visual hull, and a region is grown around each seed pixel. Each region includes neighboring pixels resembling the seed pixel. Then, the visual hull is reduced in size according to the grown regions to determine a two-dimensional shape of the object. When multiple images are used from different points of view, the three-dimensional shape can be determined.

A camera sub-system coupled to the processing unit is for acquiring input images reflecting a geometry of the display surface. The camera sub-system is in a fixed physical relationship to the projector sub-system. A network sub-system coupled to the processing unit is for communicating messages between the projectors. Internal sensors coupled to the processing unit are for determining an orientation of the projector sub-system and the camera sub-system with respect to the display surface.
