AR Overlay Background Removal for Engineering Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems and methods for augmented reality overlays struggle to effectively integrate and display complex content, such as engineering drawings, onto real-world views, making it difficult for users to recognize and align components within these systems.
Innovation Solution
A processor-based augmented reality translator and visualizer system that receives language files, removes backgrounds, and overlays content onto real-world views, allowing users to modify the size, orientation, and appearance of the overlayed content for better alignment with real-world items, using a display to present merged augmented reality content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If engineering drawings and technical content are overlaid onto real-world views, then information completeness and recognition capability are improved, but system complexity and alignment difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing system that includes background removal, content extraction, and overlay positioning components. This intermediary layer processes the engineering drawings and technical content before overlaying them onto real-world views, thereby managing system complexity while preserving information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the overlay content into distinct components including background removal, content extraction, and positioning layers. This segmentation allows each component to be processed independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining complete information delivery.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple components and layers are integrated in the augmented reality overlay, then content richness is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing engineering drawings to remove backgrounds and extract content before the actual augmented reality overlay is displayed. This pre-processing reduces computational burden during real-time display, thereby reducing processing time while maintaining content richness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements optimized processing pathways that skip unnecessary computational steps. By directly extracting content from pre-processed language files and bypassing redundant background analysis during display, the system reduces processing time while preserving rich content delivery.
3Ease of operation
If the overlay content is dynamically modified based on user input and device motion, then ease of operation and alignment accuracy are improved, but device complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that detect device motion and user input, then dynamically adjust the overlay content positioning and scaling. This feedback loop improves alignment accuracy and ease of operation by automatically adapting to changing conditions while managing device complexity through efficient sensor integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the overlay system dynamic by allowing real-time modification of content position, size, and orientation based on device motion sensors and user interactions. This dynamic adaptation improves alignment accuracy without requiring complex manual adjustment mechanisms.
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to a system that includes a processor configured to execute an augmented reality (AR) translator and visualizer system. The AR translator and visualizer system is configured to receive a language file that includes content, determine a background in the language file, remove the background, and retrieve the content from the language file. Moreover, the AR translator and visualizer system is configured to overlay the content onto a real world view via a display to form AR content that includes the content merged with the real world view. Furthermore the AR translator and visualizer system is configured to cause the system to display the real world view overlaid with the content via the display.
