DEVICE FOR WATCHING REAL-TIME AUGMENTED REALITY AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for a real time augmented reality observation device (300) comprising an image sensor (335), a viewing system (320) and an indirect command interface (310) with direct line of sight, said method comprising the following steps:
- receiving a request including line of sight orientation information transmitted by said command interface (610);
transmitting said line of sight orientation information to said image sensor (615), said image sensor being mobile and motorized;
receiving from said image sensor the orientation of its line of sight (620);
receiving at least one image from said image sensor;
determining in said received image the position at which at least one item of data must be inserted, according to the orientation of the line of sight of said image sensor (640); and
inserting said at least one data item in real time into said received image at the position so determined (645).

Abstract
The invention relates to a real-time augmented-reality watching device (300), which comprises an image sensor (335) such as a PTZ camera, a visualisation system (320) and a control interface (310). In this device, the camera is controlled by a control interface operated by the user. Once the user has received (610) orientation information on the desired line of sight from the control interface, the orientation information on the line of sight is transmitted to the camera (615), the camera being powered and capable of movement. Then the camera transmits the orientation of its line of sight (620). The camera transmits a video stream in parallel. The position at which must be inserted data, such as the representation of a virtual three-dimensional object, is determined from the data resulting from the calibration and the orientation of the line of sight of the camera received from the latter (640). The data is further inserted in real time into the video stream that is transmitted to the visualisation system (645). A calibration of the camera is preferably carried out during the device set up (600) in order to improve the device performance.
