Stereo Virtual Camera Positioning via Marker-Based Dual-View Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stereoscopic display systems face inaccuracies in calculating the relative positions and orientations of cameras with respect to markers, leading to inconsistent virtual object images for the right and left eyes, which affects the stereoscopic view of virtual objects.
Innovation Solution
The system integrates position and orientation information from both camera imaging sections to determine the positions and orientations of virtual cameras, ensuring consistency and accuracy in generating stereoscopic images by averaging or calculating a midpoint, and adjusting the virtual camera positions and orientations to match the real camera configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the relative positions and orientations of cameras with respect to markers are calculated based on images shot by each camera independently, then the calculation process is simple and fast, but the accuracy and consistency of the calculated positions and orientations deteriorate due to image blur and marker recognition errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the position and orientation information calculated from both the right-eye and left-eye camera images into a single integrated set of information. This is achieved by calculating the relative positions and orientations from both cameras independently, then integrating these results to obtain unified position and orientation data that is more accurate and consistent than either individual calculation alone.
2Reliability
If the position and orientation information from both cameras is integrated to determine virtual camera positions, then the consistency and accuracy of stereoscopic images improve, but the processing time and computational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary calculations of relative positions and orientations from both cameras before the actual image generation process. By pre-computing and integrating the position and orientation information, the system prepares accurate virtual camera parameters in advance, which then can be used efficiently during the stereoscopic image generation without repeated complex calculations.
3Measurement precision
If accurate position and orientation information is used to generate virtual images for both eyes, then the stereoscopic view quality improves, but the computational load and processing complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates virtual camera models that replicate the physical camera configurations. By setting up virtual cameras with positions and orientations derived from the integrated position orientation information, the system can generate stereoscopic images through virtual camera rendering without requiring complex real-time transformations, simplifying the overall image generation process while maintaining accuracy.

AI summary
First, the interval between a left virtual camera and a right virtual camera is determined based on the relative position and the relative orientation of an outer imaging section (left) with respect to a marker, which are calculated from a result of marker recognition in the left real world image, and on the relative position and the relative orientation of an outer imaging section (right) with respect to the marker, which are calculated from a result of marker recognition in the right real world image. After the interval between the left virtual camera and the right virtual camera is determined, the positions and the orientations of the left virtual camera and the right virtual camera are determined based on the determined interval such that the relationship between the position and the orientation of the left virtual camera, and the position and the orientation of the right virtual camera is ideal.
