Method for image transformation, augmented reality, and teleperence
DCFirst Claim
1. A computerized method for operating a display system, the display system having a camera, a monitor, and a processor, the method comprising:
- operating the camera to generate a stream of images of the user;
operating the processor to detect the presence of the user in the stream of images;
operating the processor to apply adaptive transformation mapping to the stream of images captured by the camera to generate modified images that appear to be captured from a different point of view of the camera'"'"'s actual point of view; and
,displaying the modified images on the monitor;
wherein the different point of view corresponds to an image taken from a different angle and a different distance than the actual images captured by the camera; and
wherein during mirror tracking mode the processor utilizes the angle of the images captured by the camera and applies parametric input for a mapping transformation that changes imaging perspective of the images captured by the camera.

Abstract
Computerized method for image transformation, augmented reality and telepresence. A camera generates a stream of images of the user; a processor detects the presence of the user in the stream of images and applies adaptive transformation mapping to the stream of images captured by the camera to generate modified images that appear to be captured from a different point of view of the camera'"'"'s actual point of view. The modified images are displayed on a local and/or remote monitor for telepresence. The processor can also generate an avatar having body characteristics corresponding to body characteristics of a user appearing in the images. The processor may generate the avatar by analyzing registration pointers on the images of the camera. The processor may reside in the remote location, and the camera images transmitted over a network to the processor, and the modified images transmitted back from the processor to the monitor.
