Systems and Methods for Implementing Augmented Reality
First Claim
1. A method implemented in a video playback system for incorporating augmented reality into a video stream, comprising:
- determining a target pattern;
determining an inner pattern in the target pattern;
determining a relationship between the target pattern and the inner pattern;
receiving, by the video playback system, frames of the video stream;
for each frame within the frame sequence, performing binarization according to a predetermined threshold;
based on whether a location of the target pattern can be determined, determining a location of the inner pattern;
based on the location of the inner pattern on received frames and the determined relationship between the target pattern and the inner pattern, determining a location of the target pattern; and
displaying a virtual object with the target pattern on an output device based on the location of the target pattern.

Abstract
A method implemented in a video playback system is described for incorporating augmented reality (AR) into a video stream. The method comprises determining a target pattern, determining an inner pattern in the target pattern, determining a relationship between the target pattern and the inner pattern, and receiving, by the video playback system, frames of the video stream. For each frame within the frame sequence, binarization is performed according to a predetermined threshold. Based on whether a location of the target pattern can be determined, a location of the inner pattern is determined. Based on the location of the inner pattern on received frames and the determined relationship between the target pattern and the inner pattern, a location of the target pattern is determined. The method further comprises displaying a virtual object with the target pattern on an output device based on the location of the target pattern.

9. A video system for incorporating augmented reality (AR) into a video stream, comprising:
-
a marker module configured to determine a target pattern within the video stream, the marker module further configured to determine an inner pattern of the target pattern, wherein the marker module is further configured to determine a relationship between the target pattern and the inner pattern according to a spacing and relative location of each of the corners of the inner pattern with respect to corners of the outer boundary of the target pattern; a tracker module configured to perform a tiered search of the target pattern within the video stream; a location estimator configured to determine a location of the target pattern according to a search result of the tracker module and the relationship between the target pattern and the inner pattern determined by the marker module; and an effects module configured to integrate a virtual object into the video stream according to the location of the target pattern. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
