OPERATING A COMPUTING DEVICE BY DETECTING ROUNDED OBJECTS IN AN IMAGE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a computing device, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:
- processing one or more images of a scene captured by an image capturing device of the computing device, the scene including an object of interest that is in motion and having a characteristic rounded shape, wherein processing the one or more images includes detecting a rounded object that corresponds to the object of interest;
determining position information based on a relative position of the rounded object in the one or more images; and
implementing one or more processes that utilize the position information determined from the relative position of the rounded object.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for operating a computing device. One or more images of a scene captured by an image capturing device of the computing device is processed. The scene includes an object of interest that is in motion and that has a rounded shape. The one or more images are processed by detecting a rounded object that corresponds to the object of interest. Position information is determined based on a relative position of the rounded object in the one or more images. One or more processes are implemented that utilize the position information determined from the relative position of the rounded object.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
-
process one or more images of a scene captured by an image capturing device of the computing device, the scene including an object of interest that is in motion and having a characteristic rounded shape, wherein processing the one or more images includes detecting a rounded object that corresponds to the object of interest; determine position information based on a relative position of the rounded object in the one or more images; and implement one or more processes that utilize the position information determined from the relative position of the rounded object. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A mobile computing device comprising:
-
an image capturing device; a memory; and a processor coupled to the image capturing device and the memory, the processor to; process one or more images of a scene captured by an image capturing device of the computing device, the scene including an object of interest that is in motion and having a characteristic rounded shape, wherein processing the one or more images includes detecting a rounded object that corresponds to the object of interest; determine position information based on a relative position of the rounded object in the one or more images; and implement one or more processes that utilize the position information determined from the relative position of the rounded object.
