Augmented reality vision system for tracking and geolocating objects of interest
First Claim
1. A user-carried or user-worn apparatus for tracking objects, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more optical sensors for capturing images of a scene, wherein the images include a wide field of view image of the scene and a narrow field of view image of the scene;
a display for displaying a displayed view of the scene; and
a processor coupled to a storage medium, the storage medium storing processor-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, performs a method comprising;
geolocating the one or more optical sensors and a location of one or more objects depicted in the captured images based on a location of the one or more optical sensors;
recognizing an object of interest in the wide field of view image;
recognizing the object of interest in the narrow field of view image;
tracking a location of the recognized object of interest during transition from the wide field of view image to the narrow field of view image so as to correlate the location of the recognized object of interest in the wide field of view image and the narrow field of view image; and
enhancing the displayed view of the scene on the display based on the geolocating of the one or more objects, wherein the enhanced, displayed view comprises overlay content scaled in accordance with the tracking of the location of the recognized object of interest from the wide field of view to the narrow field of view.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for tracking objects comprise one or more optical sensors for capturing one or more images of a scene, wherein the one or more optical sensors capture a wide field of view and corresponding narrow field of view for the one or more images of a scene, a localization module, coupled to the one or more optical sensors for determining the location of the apparatus, and determining the location of one more objects in the one or more images based on the location of the apparatus and an augmented reality module, coupled to the localization module, for enhancing a view of the scene on a display based on the determined location of the one or more objects.

14. A method for tracking objects by a user-carried or user-worn apparatus, the method comprising:
-
capturing, using one or more optical sensors, images of a scene, wherein the images include a wide field of view image of the scene and a narrow field of view image of the scene; geolocating the one or more optical sensors, and a location of one or more objects depicted in the captured images based on a location of the one or more optical sensors; recognizing an object of interest in the wide field of view image; recognizing the object of interest in the narrow field of view image; tracking a location of the recognized object of interest during transition from the wide field of view image to the narrow field of view image; and enhancing a displayed view of the scene on a display based on the geolocating of the one or more objects, wherein the enhanced, displayed view comprises overlay content scaled in accordance with the tracking of the location of the recognized object of interest from the wide field of view image to the narrow field of view image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
