Imaging Methods and Systems for Position Detection
First Claim
1. A computing system, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
at least one imaging device configured to image a space,wherein the memory comprises at least one program component that configures the processor to iteratively sample image data of the at least one imaging device and determine a space coordinate associated with an object in the space based on detecting an image of a feature of the object in the image data,wherein iteratively sampling the image data comprises, for each iteration, accessing data defining a range of pixels to for use in sampling image data from the at least one imaging device during the iteration.

Abstract
A computing device, such as a desktop, laptop, tablet computer, a mobile device, or a computing device integrated into another device (e.g., an entertainment device for gaming, a television, an appliance, kiosk, vehicle, tool, etc.) is configured to determine user input commands from the location and/or movement of one or more objects in a space. The object(s) can be imaged using one or more optical sensors and the resulting position data can be interpreted in any number of ways to determine a command. During a first sampling iteration, a range of pixels can be identified from a location of a feature of the object, with the range used in sampling from the at least one imaging device during a second iteration based on the data sampled during the first iteration.

10. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
sampling, from at least one imaging device, data representing an image of a space, during a first iteration; determining a space coordinate associated with an object in the space based on detecting a feature of the object in the sampled data representing the image of the space; determining a range of pixels to use in sampling from the at least one imaging device during a second iteration based on the data sampled during the first iteration; and sampling, from the at least one imaging device, data representing an image of the space during the second iteration. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
