AR Virtual Object Arrangement via Dynamic Map Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies struggle to appropriately arrange virtual objects in various real environments, particularly in augmented reality applications, where dynamic information such as user movement and presence of non-players is not adequately considered.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that restricts the size of environment map data for virtual object arrangement based on sensor detection results from the real space, taking into account the movement route, visual field range, and presence distribution of users and non-players.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the environment map data size is reduced to improve processing efficiency, then the arrangement accuracy of virtual objects deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The environment map data is segmented into multiple regions based on detection results from sensors. Only regions containing dynamic objects or areas of interest are processed with high detail, while other regions use lower detail levels. This segmentation allows the system to maintain arrangement accuracy in critical areas while reducing overall data size and processing requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
Different quality levels are applied to different regions of the environment map data. Regions where virtual objects need to be arranged use higher detail and accuracy, while regions that are less important use lower detail. This local quality approach ensures that processing efficiency is improved without sacrificing the arrangement accuracy needed in critical areas.
2Quantity of substance
If the environment map data size is reduced to save memory resources, then the arrangement precision of virtual objects deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The environment map data is divided into multiple segments or chunks, with different levels of detail for each segment. This allows the system to load only the necessary segments into memory based on the current view and arrangement requirements, reducing overall memory usage while maintaining precision where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of processing and storing the entire environment map at full detail, the system processes only the necessary portions with high precision. The environment map data is partially processed at high detail for regions requiring virtual object arrangement, while other regions use lower detail, thus saving memory resources without compromising arrangement precision in critical areas.
3Speed
If the environment map data size is reduced to improve processing speed, then the arrangement appropriateness of virtual objects deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The environment map data processing is segmented into priority levels. Critical regions that require accurate virtual object arrangement are processed with high detail and thorough analysis, while non-critical regions use faster, lower-detail processing. This segmentation enables the system to maintain arrangement appropriateness in important areas while improving overall processing speed.
Solution Approach 2:
Different processing qualities are applied locally to different regions of the environment map. Regions where virtual objects need to be arranged appropriately undergo more thorough processing, while other regions use faster processing methods. This local quality approach ensures that processing speed is improved without sacrificing the appropriateness of virtual object arrangement in critical areas.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a recording medium which can more appropriately arrange a virtual object. By providing the information processing apparatus including a control unit that restricts a size of an environment map data in which a virtual object is arranged, on the basis of a detection result by a sensor of a real space associated with the environment map data, it is possible to more appropriately arrange a virtual object. For example, the present technology can be applied to an AR HMD.
