MARKER GENERATING AND MARKER DETECTING SYSTEM, METHOD AND PROGRAM

摘要

[PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED] It is an object to provide a marker and a marker generating and detecting technology that can automatically design a diagrammatic marker that is not similar to any patterns to appear during the reproduction of background video images. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A marker generating system is characterized in having a special feature extracting means that extracts a portion, as a special feature, including a distinctive pattern in a video image not including a marker; a unique special feature selecting means that, based on the extracted special feature, selects a special feature of an image, as a unique special feature, that does not appear on the video image; and a marker generating means that generates a marker based on the unique special feature.

主权项

1. A marker detecting system for extracting as a feature a segment containing a distinctive pattern in a background video image not containing a marker in an environment in which detection of a marker is performed, selecting as a unique feature an image feature that does not appear in said background video image based on said extracted feature, and detecting a marker generated based on said unique feature, comprising:
storage unit for storing a feature of said marker; and feature checking unit for checking a feature in the video image subjected to detection, which contains said marker in an environment in which detection of a marker is performed, with that of said marker, and notifying detection of a marker when a match of the features is found.
