METHOD FOR OBTAINING 3D POSITION INFORMATION, COMPUTER PROGRAM, DATA PROCESSOR, AND DISPLAY PANEL INCORPORATING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining three-dimensional (3D) position information of one or more user-controlled objects positioned above a display panel, the display panel providing a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) directional views of the user-controlled objects from corresponding different directions, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting the presence of 2D objects within each of the directional views, and estimating corresponding 2D position information;
estimating 3D position information for one or more 3D objects which would account for the detected 2D objects within the directional views;
determining quality measures for the estimated 2D position information and/or the estimated 3D position information; and
determining 3D position information of the one or more user-controlled objects as a function of the estimated 3D position information and the quality measures.

Abstract
A method for obtaining three-dimensional (3D) position information of one or more user-controlled objects positioned above a display panel, the display panel providing a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) directional views of the user-controlled objects from corresponding different directions. The method includes the steps of: detecting the presence of 2D objects within each of the directional views, and estimating corresponding 2D position information; estimating 3D position information for one or more 3D objects which would account for the detected 2D objects within the directional views; determining quality measures for the estimated 2D position information and/or the estimated 3D position information; and determining 3D position information of the one or more user-controlled objects as a function of the estimated 3D position information and the quality measures.

17. A display panel, comprising:
-
a sensor array layer which provides a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) directional views from different directions of one or more user-controlled objects above the display panel; and a data processor configured to carry out the steps of; detecting the presence of 2D objects within each of the directional views, and estimating corresponding 2D position information; estimating 3D position information for one or more 3D objects which would account for the detected 2D objects within the directional views; determining quality measures for the estimated 2D position information and/or the estimated 3D position information; and determining 3D position information of the one or more user-controlled objects as a function of the estimated 3D position information and the quality measures.
