Generating and displaying an actual sized interactive object
First Claim
1. A method to present an actual sized image, the method comprising:
- obtaining a photographic representation of an object and a first dimensional measurement of the object;
determining a bounding box for the object, the bounding box having dimensions along length X, height Y, and depth Z axes, at least one of the dimensions corresponding to the first dimensional measurement, the bounding box based on pixels in the photographic representation that belong to the object in the photographic representation;
obtaining a size of a display, the size represented by pixels per inch of the display;
calculating a scaling factor, wherein the scaling factor is calculated based on a size of a second object positioned relative to the object in the photographic representation, the first dimensional measurement, and the size of the display;
calculating a second dimensional measurement of the object based on the height Y of the bounding box and the scaling factor;
calculating a third dimensional measurement of the object as based on the length X of the bounding box and the scaling factor;
up-sampling or down-sampling the photographic representation to a projected size based on the second and third dimensional measurements; and
presenting at least a portion of the up-sampled or down-sampled photographic representation.

Abstract
Methods and systems generate and project an actual sized image of an object. An object or a representation of an object may be pre-processed. The pre-processing of a representation of the object may include determining pixels that belong to the object and pixels that belong to a background of the image. The pre-processing may include calculating a bounding box for the object. The projection may include determining an area of projection suitable for the bounding box of the object. The projection may further include projecting an image of intermediate dimensions. The projection may further include up-sampling or down-sampling the image to an actual size. The projection of the actual sized image may be made interactive by rendering at least one additional view of the object.
