Data processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A method of configuring data processing apparatus for automatically determining the real size of an object in an image of a scene displayed on a display screen, the method comprising:
- responding to user input by displaying in the image of the scene displayed on the display screen a virtual object representative of a real size object to establish a first datum position, and storing data defining the first datum position;
varying a size of the virtual object in the image responsive to user input;
storing data representative of a horizontal and vertical size of the virtual object relative to the displayed image at the first datum position;
displaying said virtual object at a second datum position in said image responsive to user input and storing data defining the second datum position;
varying the size of the virtual object on the display screen at the second datum position responsive to user input; and
storing data representative of the vertical and horizontal size of the virtual object at the second datum position relative to the displayed image.

7. Data processing apparatus configured for automatically determining a real size of an object in an image of a scene displayed on a display screen, the apparatus operative to:
-
respond to user input by displaying in the image of the scene displayed on the display screen a virtual object representative of a real size object to establish a first datum position and to store data defining the first datum position; vary a size of the virtual object in the image responsive to user input; store data representative of a horizontal and vertical size of the virtual object relative to the displayed image at the first datum position; display said virtual object at a second datum position in said image responsive to user input and to store data defining the second datum position; vary the size of the virtual object on the display screen at the second datum position responsive to user input; and store data representative of the vertical and horizontal size of the virtual object at the second datum position relative to the displayed image. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
