OBJECT RECOGNITION AND VISUALIZATION

摘要

A method is disclosed for identifying and presenting a 3D model for an object appearing in a picture or image. The method is used with pictures in printed materials such as books, newspapers, magazines and also used with images presented on a display of a computer, tablet, mobile phone or the like. Furthermore, the method is used for identifying and visualizing buildings, vehicles or other objects located indoors or outdoors while using one of the modern head mounted computer displays or glasses known commercially as wearable devices.

主权项

1. A method for identifying and presenting a 3D model for an object that appears in a picture wherein the method is comprised of:
creating a 3D model for the object according to a vector graphic format then rotating the 3D model horizontally and vertically in front of a virtual camera to store each image of the 3D model at each different rotation; analyzing each image parameter, including the number of 2D shapes contained in the image, the identities of the 2D shapes and the attachment relationships between the 2D shapes, to create a list of unique images that have unique parameters; detecting the edges of the object in the picture and analyzing the edge parameters including the number of 2D shapes contained in the edges, the identity of the 2D shapes and the attachment relationships between the 2D shapes; and checking the edge parameters against the list of unique images to determine if the edge parameters match the parameters of one image of the list of unique images and then displaying the object's name and its corresponding 3D model.
