AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY

Abstract

A method for creating an augmented reality scene, the method comprising, by a computing device with a processor and a memory, receiving a first video image data and a second video image data; calculating an error value for a current pose between the two images by comparing the pixel colors in the first video image data and the second video image data; warping pixel coordinates into a second video image data through the use of the map of depth hypotheses for each pixel; varying the pose between the first video image data and the second video image data to find a warp that corresponds to a minimum error value; calculating, using the estimated poses, a new depth measurement for each pixel that is visible in both the first video image data and the second video image data.

Description

Claims

1. A method of creating a virtual reality map, comprising, by a computing device with a processor and memory, receiving floorplan data including a map;receiving a first set of image data;generating data for display, the data for display including the map;receiving a user input selection of a place on the map;generating an icon for display on the selected place on the map;correlating the received first set of image data to the icon on the map, wherein, upon user selection of the icon on the map, the first set of image data is displayed;wherein the first set of image data includes multiple frames stitched together to form a 360 degree view; andwherein the first set of image data includes a timestamp.
