REAL-TIME 3D AR OBJECT ACQUISITION DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD

Smart overview of the Invention

The patent application describes a system and method for real-time acquisition of high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) augmented reality (AR) objects. The system comprises an image acquisition device that captures multiple images necessary for creating a 3D AR object of a subject in real time. A 3D AR object acquisition device then processes these images to produce a high-resolution 3D AR object. The system is designed to work efficiently in real time, enhancing the resolution of the 3D AR object through an upscale module.

Components and Functionality

The primary components include an image acquisition device and a 3D AR object acquisition device. The image acquisition device can consist of various sensors such as RGB cameras, depth cameras, LiDAR, and radar sensors. These capture detailed data about the subject, which is then used by the 3D AR object acquisition device. This device features a creation module that constructs the 3D AR object from the captured images and an upscale module that increases the resolution of each frame, converting it into a high-resolution format.

Technical Field and Background

This invention pertains to 3D AR object image acquisition technology, specifically focusing on real-time processing to achieve high-resolution outputs. The development addresses challenges within augmented reality, where high data processing demands have previously limited the quality and applicability of AR content. By enhancing real-time resolution, this system aims to broaden the usability of AR applications across various fields such as education, gaming, and industry.

System Architecture

The architecture includes an interface connecting the image acquisition device with the 3D AR object acquisition device. This interface supports both wired and wireless communication, facilitating seamless data transfer and operational control between devices. The interface also manages power supply if needed and handles error detection related to physical connections or configuration settings.

Applications and Benefits

The proposed system improves the quality of real-time AR content by ensuring high-resolution outputs that match or exceed current standards like full HD (FHD) or ultra HD (UHD). This innovation reduces reliance on high-spec hardware, making AR technology more accessible and practical for broader applications. As a result, industries can leverage enhanced AR content for more immersive experiences in various environments.
