First Claim
Patent Images
1. An augmented image producing device, comprising:
- a processor programmed toreceive scene imagery from an imaging device;
identify at least one marker in the scene imagery;
determine whether the at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern;
augment the scene imagery, in response to determining that the at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern, with particles dispersed from a position of the at least one marker; and
a display that displays the augmented scene imagery.

Abstract
An augmented image producing device includes a processor programmed receive scene imagery from an imaging device and to identify at least one marker in the scene imagery. The processor then determines whether at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern and if the marker does correspond to a known pattern, the scene imagery is augmented with computer-generated graphics dispersed from a position of the at least one marker. Once the scene imagery is augmented, the computer-generated graphics are displayed on a display screen. The augmented scene imagery can then be used, for example, to actively engage audience members during an event.

11. A method for producing an augmented image, comprising:
-
receiving scene imagery from an imaging device; identifying at least one marker in the scene imagery; determining whether the at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern; augmenting, via a processor, the scene imagery, in response to determining that the at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern, with particles dispersed from a position of the at least one marker; and displaying the augmented scene imagery.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions thereon that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method for producing an augmented image, comprising:
-
receiving scene imagery from an imaging device; identifying at least one marker in the scene imagery; determining whether the at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern; augmenting, via a processor, the scene imagery, in response to determining that the at least one marker corresponds to a known pattern, with particles dispersed from a position of the at least one marker; and displaying the augmented scene imagery.
