TARGET OBJECT ANGLE DETERMINATION USING MULTIPLE CAMERAS
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, perform a method of determining an angle of a target object with respect to a device, the method comprising:
- receiving first target object information captured using a first camera on the device and second target object information captured using a second camera on the device, the first and second target object information captured at approximately a same capture time; and
based on the first and second target object information, determining an angle between the target object and the device.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer media for determining the angle of a target object with respect to a device are provided herein. Target object information captured at approximately the same time by at least two cameras can be received. The target object information can comprise images or distances from the target object to the corresponding camera. An angle between the target object and the device can be determined based on the target object information. When the target object information includes images, the angle can be determined based on a correlation between two images. When the target object information includes distances from the target object to the corresponding camera, the angle can be calculated geometrically.

15. A multi-camera mobile device having target object angle determination capabilities, the mobile device comprising:
-
a first camera; a second camera; a touchscreen display; a target object identification component that identifies an object visible on the touchscreen display of the device as the target object; a target object information acquisition component that receives target object information captured by the first and second cameras; and an angle determination component that determines an angle between the target object and the device using the received target object information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. A method of determining an angle of a target object with respect to a device, the method comprising:
-
receiving an identification of an object visible on a display of the device as the target object; receiving a pair of images including at least a portion of the target object, the pair of images comprising a first image captured by a first camera on the device and a second image captured by a second camera on the device; determining a correlation value for a correlation between the first and second images; and determining an angle between a first reference line extending from the target object to the device and a second reference line extending through the device by; accessing a tuning table having correlation values and corresponding angles; and retrieving the angle corresponding to the correlation value closest to the determined correlation value. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
