Devices for sensing touch on a surface using a minimum depth-value surface characterization, including associated methods, are disclosed and described.
Abstract:
A depth-sensing camera may be used to locate objects on a planar surface. A planar fit calculation is used to model the surface. One problem with the best planar fit calculation is that it is not robust over time. Firstly, this is because the depth data has a non-linear curve near its extremities because of camera lens distortion. Secondly, as the depth-sensing camera warms up and its thermal activity changes, the depth data drifts and the initial plane fit is no longer valid. The position and the amount of curvature and drift may be different for cameras of the same make and model in some cases. In accordance with some embodiments, algorithms may be used to detect and correct for these types of errors to support more robust plane fitting in real time.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for presenting contents on a persistent display are described herein. A system for controlling an electronic display comprises a persistent display; a trigger module to detect a triggering event; a configuration module to access a dead screen configuration in response to the triggering event, the dead screen configuration specifying content to display on the persistent display of the system after the system is powered down; and an output module to write the specified content to the persistent display as an image.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for real-time interactive anamorphosis projection via face detection and tracking are disclosed. An example system includes a sensor to capture an image of a face of a user. An augmented reality controller is to access the image from the sensor, determine a position of the face of the user relative to a display surface, and apply a perspective correction to an anamorphic camera representing a vantage point of the active user. A user application is to generate a scene based on the position of the anamorphic camera. A display is to present, at the display surface, the scene based on the vantage point of the active user.
Abstract:
Techniques for calibrating touch detection devices are described herein. A method for calibrating touch detection may include detecting, via a processor, predefined calibration points from a projected predefined pattern based on visible image sensor data. The method may also include generating, via the processor, a surface depth model by fitting a surface plane to depth sensor data. The method may further include mapping, via the processor, the detected calibration points to surface depth coordinates. The method may also further include mapping, via the processor, an infrared image from infrared (IR) sensor data to the surface depth model using preconfigured image correlations.
