Description

Method and apparatus for supporting tactical training using visual localization {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING TACTICAL TRAINING USING VISUAL LOCALIZATION}

This disclosure relates to image processing and more specifically to visual localization.

As the demand for Location Based Services increases, the need for accurate location information has increased. The most common way to determine location on mobile devices and mobile platforms is GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). However, because GNSS signals may be blocked by obstacles in an indoor environment, there is a limitation that they can only be easily used in an outdoor environment.

Although various technologies have been proposed to perform location recognition indoors, the reality is that many indoor location recognition techniques do not go beyond the fingerprint printing-based location recognition algorithm using wireless signals. In this method, the collected data related to Wi-Fi RSS (Received Signal Strength) or MFS (Magnetic Field Strength) is compared with data from a fingerprinting database. Fingerprinting-based systems have the advantage of being easy to build, but it can be difficult to maintain good performance because the signal pattern itself is affected by changes in the system environment. To overcome the deficiencies of these fingerprint-based systems, many alternatives have been proposed, including Optical, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Bluetooth Beacons, ZigBee, and Pseudo Satellite, but these alternatives also have difficulty achieving high accuracy in complex indoor environments. It is evaluated as difficult.

Recently, research on VPS (Visual Positioning System) has been actively conducted as an alternative to implement highly accurate position estimation even in indoor environments. VPS technology can also be expressed as visual localization technology, which refers to a technology that estimates the current location or pose of a device using images taken indoors or outdoors. Pose estimation of a device (or camera) refers to determining the translation and rotation information of a dynamically changing camera viewpoint. This camera pose estimation technology is being used in a variety of fields such as mixed reality, augmented reality, robot navigating, and 3-Dimensional Scene Reconstruction.

Augmented reality technology is a technology that enhances work efficiency by augmenting virtual information in real space in real time and allowing users to interact with the augmented virtual information. As augmented reality technology has recently developed, and in order to solve the situation where practical training is limited due to public damage, noise, etc., or safety accidents during training, research is being conducted to introduce a training system based on augmented reality technology. is in progress.

In this example, the pose may be obtained by a deep learning module that includes an algorithm for estimating the user's pose. In this example, the pose may be obtained based on visual localization and/or inverse kinematics.

The relative pose in the present disclosure may include pose information in a relative concept based on the pose determined by visual localization. For example, a pose determined by visual localization may be referred to as an absolute pose, and a relative coordinate value using the 3D coordinate value of this absolute pose as a reference point may correspond to the relative pose.

In this disclosure, the feature point acquisition model may correspond to an artificial intelligence-based model. In additional embodiments of the present disclosure, an artificial intelligence-based model may be used to estimate the pose of a character (e.g., a first character) and/or create a character.

Throughout this disclosure, the terms artificial intelligence-based model, model, computational model, neural network, network function, and neural network may be used interchangeably. A neural network can generally consist of a set of interconnected computational units, which can be referred to as nodes. These nodes may also be referred to as neurons. A neural network consists of at least one node. Nodes (or neurons) that make up neural networks may be interconnected by one or more links.

Within a neural network, one or more nodes connected through a link may form a relative input node and output node relationship. The concepts of input node and output node are relative, and any node in an output node relationship with one node may be in an input node relationship with another node, and vice versa. As described above, input node to output node relationships can be created around links. One or more output nodes can be connected to one input node through a link, and vice versa.

In a relationship between an input node and an output node connected through one link, the value of the data of the output node may be determined based on the data input to the input node. Here, the link connecting the input node and the output node may have a weight. Weights may be variable and may be varied by the user or algorithm in order for the neural network to perform the desired function. For example, when one or more input nodes are connected to one output node by respective links, the output node is set to the values input to the input nodes connected to the output node and the links corresponding to each input node. The output node value can be determined based on the weight.

As described above, in a neural network, one or more nodes are interconnected through one or more links to form an input node and output node relationship within the neural network. The characteristics of the neural network can be determined according to the number of nodes and links within the neural network, the correlation between the nodes and links, and the value of the weight assigned to each link. For example, if the same number of nodes and links exist and two neural networks with different weight values of the links exist, the two neural networks may be recognized as different from each other.

A neural network may consist of a set of one or more nodes. A subset of nodes that make up a neural network can form a layer. Some of the nodes constituting the neural network may form one layer based on the distances from the first input node. For example, a set of nodes with a distance n from the initial input node may constitute n layers. The distance from the initial input node can be defined by the minimum number of links that must be passed to reach the node from the initial input node. However, this definition of a layer is arbitrary for explanation purposes, and the order of a layer within a neural network may be defined in a different way than described above. For example, a layer of nodes may be defined by distance from the final output node.

The initial input node may refer to one or more nodes in the neural network through which data is directly input without going through links in relationships with other nodes. Alternatively, in a neural network network, in the relationship between nodes based on links, it may mean nodes that do not have other input nodes connected by links. Similarly, the final output node may refer to one or more nodes that do not have an output node in their relationship with other nodes among the nodes in the neural network. Additionally, hidden nodes may refer to nodes constituting a neural network other than the first input node and the last output node.

The neural network according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a neural network in which the number of nodes in the input layer may be the same as the number of nodes in the output layer, and the number of nodes decreases and then increases again as it progresses from the input layer to the hidden layer. You can. In addition, the neural network according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be a neural network in which the number of nodes in the input layer may be less than the number of nodes in the output layer, and the number of nodes decreases as it progresses from the input layer to the hidden layer. there is. In addition, the neural network according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be a neural network in which the number of nodes in the input layer may be greater than the number of nodes in the output layer, and the number of nodes increases as it progresses from the input layer to the hidden layer. You can. A neural network according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be a neural network that is a combination of the above-described neural networks.

A deep neural network (DNN) may refer to a neural network that includes multiple hidden layers in addition to the input layer and output layer. Deep neural networks allow you to identify latent structures in data. In other words, it is possible to identify the potential structure of a photo, text, video, voice, or music (e.g., what object is in the photo, what the content and emotion of the text are, what the content and emotion of the voice are, etc.) . Deep neural networks include convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), auto encoder, restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM), and deep trust network ( It may include deep belief network (DBN), Q network, U network, Siamese network, generative adversarial network (GAN), etc. The description of the deep neural network described above is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

A neural network may be trained in at least one of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi-supervised learning, or reinforcement learning. Learning of a neural network may be a process of applying knowledge for the neural network to perform a specific operation to the neural network.

Neural networks can be trained to minimize output errors. In neural network learning, learning data is repeatedly input into the neural network, the output of the neural network and the error of the target for the learning data are calculated, and the error of the neural network is transferred from the output layer of the neural network to the input layer in the direction of reducing the error. This is the process of updating the weight of each node in the neural network through backpropagation. In the case of supervised learning, learning data in which the correct answer is labeled for each learning data is used (i.e., labeled learning data), while in the case of unsupervised learning, the correct answer may not be labeled in each learning data. That is, for example, in the case of teacher learning regarding data classification, the learning data may be data in which each learning data is labeled with a category. Labeled training data is input to the neural network, and the error can be calculated by comparing the output (category) of the neural network with the label of the training data. As another example, in the case of unsupervised learning on data classification, the error can be calculated by comparing the input training data with the neural network output. The calculated error is backpropagated in the reverse direction (i.e., from the output layer to the input layer) in the neural network, and the connection weight of each node in each layer of the neural network can be updated according to backpropagation. The amount of change in the connection weight of each updated node may be determined according to the learning rate. The neural network's calculation of input data and backpropagation of errors can constitute a learning cycle (epoch). The learning rate may be applied differently depending on the number of repetitions of the learning cycle of the neural network. For example, in the early stages of neural network training, a high learning rate can be used to increase efficiency by allowing the neural network to quickly achieve a certain level of performance, and in the later stages of training, a low learning rate can be used to increase accuracy.

In the learning of neural networks, the training data can generally be a subset of real data (i.e., the data to be processed using the learned neural network), and thus the error for the training data is reduced, but the error for the real data is reduced. There may be an incremental learning cycle. Overfitting is a phenomenon in which errors in actual data increase due to excessive learning on training data. For example, a phenomenon in which a neural network that learned a cat by showing a yellow cat fails to recognize that it is a cat when it sees a non-yellow cat may be a type of overfitting. Overfitting can cause errors in machine learning algorithms to increase. To prevent such overfitting, various optimization methods can be used. To prevent overfitting, methods such as increasing the learning data, regularization, dropout to disable some of the network nodes during the learning process, and use of a batch normalization layer can be applied. You can.

A computer-readable medium storing a data structure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is disclosed.

Data structure can refer to the organization, management, and storage of data to enable efficient access and modification of data. Data structure can refer to the organization of data to solve a specific problem (e.g., retrieving data, storing data, or modifying data in the shortest possible time). A data structure may be defined as a physical or logical relationship between data elements designed to support a specific data processing function. Logical relationships between data elements may include connection relationships between user-defined data elements. Physical relationships between data elements may include actual relationships between data elements that are physically stored in a computer-readable storage medium (e.g., a persistent storage device). A data structure may specifically include a set of data, relationships between data, and functions or instructions applicable to the data. Effectively designed data structures allow computing devices to perform computations while minimizing the use of the computing device's resources. Specifically, computing devices can increase the efficiency of operations, reading, insertion, deletion, comparison, exchange, and search through effectively designed data structures.

Data structures can be divided into linear data structures and non-linear data structures depending on the type of data structure. A linear data structure may be a structure in which only one piece of data is connected to another piece of data. Linear data structures may include List, Stack, Queue, and Deque. A list can refer to a set of data that has an internal order. The list may include a linked list. A linked list may be a data structure in which data is connected in such a way that each data is connected in a single line with a pointer. In a linked list, a pointer may contain connection information to the next or previous data. Depending on its form, a linked list can be expressed as a singly linked list, a doubly linked list, or a circularly linked list. A stack may be a data listing structure that allows limited access to data. A stack can be a linear data structure in which data can be processed (for example, inserted or deleted) at only one end of the data structure. Data stored in the stack may have a data structure (LIFO-Last in First Out) where the later it enters, the sooner it comes out. A queue is a data listing structure that allows limited access to data. Unlike the stack, it can be a data structure (FIFO-First in First Out) where data stored later is released later. A deck can be a data structure that can process data at both ends of the data structure.

A non-linear data structure may be a structure in which multiple pieces of data are connected behind one piece of data. Nonlinear data structures may include graph data structures. A graph data structure can be defined by vertices and edges, and an edge can include a line connecting two different vertices. Graph data structure may include a tree data structure. A tree data structure may be a data structure in which there is only one path connecting two different vertices among a plurality of vertices included in the tree. In other words, it may be a data structure that does not form a loop in the graph data structure.

Throughout this specification, computational model, neural network, network function, and neural network may be used interchangeably. Below, it is described in a unified manner as a neural network. Data structures may include neural networks. And the data structure including the neural network may be stored in a computer-readable medium. Data structures including neural networks also include data preprocessed for processing by a neural network, data input to the neural network, weights of the neural network, hyperparameters of the neural network, data acquired from the neural network, activation functions associated with each node or layer of the neural network, neural network It may include a loss function for learning. A data structure containing a neural network may include any of the components disclosed above. In other words, the data structure including the neural network includes preprocessed data for processing by the neural network, data input to the neural network, weights of the neural network, hyperparameters of the neural network, data acquired from the neural network, activation functions associated with each node or layer of the neural network, neural network It may be configured to include all or any combination of the loss function for learning. In addition to the configurations described above, a data structure containing a neural network may include any other information that determines the characteristics of the neural network. Additionally, the data structure may include all types of data used or generated in the computational process of a neural network and is not limited to the above. Computer-readable media may include computer-readable recording media and/or computer-readable transmission media. A neural network can generally consist of a set of interconnected computational units, which can be referred to as nodes. These nodes may also be referred to as neurons. A neural network consists of at least one node.

The data structure may include data input to the neural network. A data structure containing data input to a neural network may be stored in a computer-readable medium. Data input to the neural network may include learning data input during the neural network learning process and/or input data input to the neural network on which training has been completed. Data input to the neural network may include data that has undergone pre-processing and/or data subject to pre-processing. Preprocessing may include a data processing process to input data into a neural network. Therefore, the data structure may include data subject to preprocessing and data generated by preprocessing. The above-described data structure is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The data structure may include the weights of the neural network. (In this specification, weights and parameters may be used with the same meaning.) And the data structure including the weights of the neural network may be stored in a computer-readable medium. A neural network may include multiple weights. Weights may be variable and may be varied by the user or algorithm in order for the neural network to perform the desired function. For example, when one or more input nodes are connected to one output node by respective links, the output node is set to the values input to the input nodes connected to the output node and the links corresponding to each input node. Based on the weight, the data value output from the output node can be determined. The above-described data structure is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

As an example and not a limitation, the weights may include weights that are changed during the neural network learning process and/or weights for which neural network learning has been completed. Weights that change during the neural network learning process may include weights that change at the start of the learning cycle and/or weights that change during the learning cycle. Weights for which neural network training has been completed may include weights for which a learning cycle has been completed. Therefore, the data structure including the weights of the neural network may include weights that are changed during the neural network learning process and/or the data structure including the weights for which neural network learning has been completed. Therefore, the above-mentioned weights and/or combinations of each weight are included in the data structure including the weights of the neural network. The above-described data structure is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The data structure including the weights of the neural network may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium (e.g., memory, hard disk) after going through a serialization process. Serialization can be the process of converting a data structure into a form that can be stored on the same or a different computing device and later reorganized and used. Computing devices can transmit and receive data over a network by serializing data structures. Data structures containing the weights of a serialized neural network can be reconstructed on the same computing device or on a different computing device through deserialization. The data structure including the weights of the neural network is not limited to serialization. Furthermore, the data structure including the weights of the neural network is a data structure to increase computational efficiency while minimizing the use of computing device resources (e.g., in non-linear data structures, B-Tree, Trie, m-way search tree, AVL tree, Red-Black Tree) may be included. The foregoing is merely an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The data structure may include hyper-parameters of a neural network. And the data structure including the hyperparameters of the neural network can be stored in a computer-readable medium. A hyperparameter may be a variable that can be changed by the user. Hyperparameters include, for example, learning rate, cost function, number of learning cycle repetitions, weight initialization (e.g., setting the range of weight values subject to weight initialization), Hidden Unit. It may include a number (e.g., number of hidden layers, number of nodes in hidden layers). The above-described data structure is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Figure 3 exemplarily shows a method for supporting tactical training using visual localization according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

At least some of the steps shown in FIG. 3 may be performed, for example, by computing device 100. Depending on the implementation aspect, some of the steps shown in FIG. 3 may be omitted or additional steps may be added.

In one embodiment, computing device 100 performs visual localization based on query data obtained from a first user device worn by a first user, thereby providing a first user device that includes a location and orientation related to the first user device. 1 The pose can be determined (310).

Computing device 100 may provide an augmented reality and/or virtual reality platform. By obtaining captured data from the client's device, the computing device 100 may estimate the current location and orientation of the client device and allow the client to enjoy activities on the augmented reality and/or virtual reality platform.

In one embodiment, the first user device may include an HMD device, AR glasses, and/or VR glasses used by a first user among a plurality of users participating in tactical training. The query data may include a query image and metadata obtained by the first user device.

In one embodiment, the query image may include a two-dimensional RGB image or a grayscale image. In one embodiment, the query image may include a two-dimensional RGB image or gray scale image and a depth map. Metadata may include location information of the user device. Location information is, for example, geodetic datum or geodetic system (or geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame), spatial reference system (SRS) or coordinate reference system (CRS) used in a specific region or country. , or may include coordinate values and/or direction values for a geographic coordinate system (GCS), etc. Other examples of location information may include GPS.

Additionally, metadata may include hardware-related information of the user device, such as focal length, principal point, resolution, etc. In addition, if there is a record of estimating the past camera pose of the user device, the user metadata includes preliminary estimation information about the camera pose of the user device calculated from the value of the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) of the user device. It can be included. This preliminary estimate information about the camera pose of the user device may include an approximate camera pose estimated using IMU information, and this preliminary estimate information may include approximate location information and direction information about the user device. . When this preliminary estimation information is used, the candidate group of reference images to be matched with the query image may be reduced.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, metadata may further include camera information of the user device, and an example of such camera information may include intrinsic parameters of the camera. The computing device 100 may determine a pose estimation algorithm used to perform the visual localization among a plurality of pose estimation algorithms based on the camera information of the user device. For example, pose estimation for a user device (eg, camera) can estimate 6DoF in a direction that minimizes reprojection error.

For example, when the camera's internal parameters are not given (i.e., an uncalibrated camera), the pose estimation algorithm uses the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) methodology to determine the elements of the rotation matrix and the translation vector. The reprojection error equation, which includes the elements of (vector) and the internal parameters of the camera as unknowns, can be changed to a linear equation and the rotation matrix, translation vector, and camera matrix can be estimated through QR decomposition.

For example, given the camera's internal parameters (i.e., a calibrated camera), the pose estimation algorithm uses the Perspective-n-Point (PnP) methodology to transform the reprojection error, a non-linear equation, into a linear equation, which is different from DLT. Similarly, pose estimation can be performed by directly solving the reprojection error, which is a non-linear equation, using the Gauss-Newton methodology or the Levenberg-Marquardt methodology. In this example, representative PnP methodologies may include P3P, EPnP, and SQPnP methodologies.

In an additional example, the DLT and PnP methodologies described above may introduce RANSAC to minimize camera pose errors resulting from inaccuracies in the 3D coordinates of reference feature points or inaccuracies in query feature points.

Therefore, as described above, the technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can apply the camera pose estimation algorithm differently depending on the presence or absence of camera information, for example, DLT or PnP depending on the presence or absence of camera information. By using the methodology, camera pose estimation can be performed.

In one embodiment, the first pose, including a position and orientation relative to the first user device, may be determined based on first query data obtained by the first user device, for example, via a VPS. This first pose may include information about where the first user device is currently located and where it is pointing. In one embodiment, the first pose may include the position and direction of the helmet worn by the first user. That is, the first pose may include the position and orientation of equipment (eg, helmet, hat, etc.) located proximally of the first user device.

In one embodiment, computing device 100 is based on interaction between a first set of tags located proximally on a first user device and a second set of tags located on a first firearm used by the first user. Thus, the first relative pose of the first gun can be determined based on the first pose (320).

In this specification, tags can be used to determine the relative pose of the firearm being used by the user. For example, tags may include UWB (Ultra Wide Band) based devices. UWB refers to a short-range wireless communication technology that transmits large amounts of information at low power over a wider band than existing frequency bands.

In one embodiment, the first set of tags may be located on equipment (eg, a helmet) located proximal to the first user device. The second set of tags may be located on equipment (eg, a firearm) located distal to the first user device. By way of example and not limitation, the first set of tags may include three tags and the second set of tags may include two tags. A measurement value including at least one of Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) or Round Trip Time (RTT) between the tags may be determined through communication between the first set of tags and the second set of tags. Based on these measured values, the computing device 100 may determine the first relative pose of the first gun based on the first pose. In a further embodiment, the user device or another user terminal connected to the user device may determine the first relative pose of the first firearm using measurements obtained through communication between tags.

For example, computing device 100 (or user device) provides a first measurement comprising at least one of TDOA or RTT between a first tag of the first set of tags and a second tag of the second set of tags. and TDOA or RTT between a third tag of the first set of tags and a fourth tag of the second set of tags, based on the determined first pose. The first relative pose including the relative direction and relative position of the first firearm may be determined.

As described above, a technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure uses a VPS to estimate the pose of a user device (e.g., HMD or AR glasses, etc.) and utilizes the estimated pose of the user device to allow the user to hold and The relative pose of a gun (for example, the direction the gun's muzzle is facing, etc.) can be estimated efficiently and accurately.

A specific methodology for determining the relative pose of a gun using tags will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

In one embodiment, the computing device 100 may generate a first character corresponding to the first user in the virtual reality space based on the first pose and the first relative pose (330).

The first character is a character corresponding to the first user in the virtual reality space, and is used to communicate the first character to other users in the same space who participate in tactical training or to other users who exist in a different space and direct and supervise tactical training. A character corresponding to the user or the first user may be displayed. In this example, the pose estimation result of the first user device and/or additional information according to the pose estimation result of the first user along with the actual appearance of the first user on the user devices of other users in the same space participating in tactical training. can be displayed in augmented reality. This additional information may include the generated first character. In this example, the first character according to the pose estimation result of the first user device and/or the first user's pose estimation result is displayed in virtual reality on the user devices of other users who are present in a different space and direct and supervise the tactical training. It can be. Such a character may be created, for example, by pose estimation for the first user.

For example, the computing device 100 may determine the position and direction of the first user's neck based on the first pose and predetermined body information of the first user. Computing device 100 may determine the relative position and orientation of both hands of the first user based on the relative orientation of the first firearm, the relative position of the first firearm, and the location of the predetermined grip area with respect to the first firearm. there is. The computing device 100 determines the first user's neck based on the determined position and direction of the first user's neck, the determined relative positions and directions of both hands of the first user, and topographical information within the virtual reality space where the first user is located. The upper body pose can be determined. The computing device 100 may determine the position and direction of the first user's pelvis based on the determined upper body pose and body information of the first user. The computing device 100 may determine the lower body pose of the first user based on the determined position and direction of the pelvis and topographical information within the virtual reality space where the first user is located. Based on the determined position and direction of the first user's neck, the determined relative positions and directions of both hands of the first user, the determined upper body pose, the determined lower body pose, and the first user's body information, the computing device 100 creates a virtual A first character corresponding to the first user in real space can be created.

A specific method of generating the first character through pose estimation for the first user will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

As described above, a technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure estimates the pose for the user's user device (e.g., HMD, AR glasses, and/or VR glasses, etc.) through visual localization and determines the pose for the user's firearm. Since the relative pose can be estimated, efficient tactical training can be achieved by accurately determining the location and facing direction of the user device as well as the direction of the muzzle.

Figure 4 exemplarily shows a method for estimating a pose through visual localization according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

At least one descriptor can be obtained. For example, the feature points 430 and 440 may be coordinates for each of the characteristic parts or points on the query image and/or depth map of the query data 410. For example, the descriptor may include at least one of information about the directionality and size of each feature point, and/or the relationship between pixels surrounding each feature point.

In one embodiment, the feature point acquisition model 420 is based on supervised learning to recognize as a feature point a point where the amount of change in at least one of color or geometric pattern in an object within the query image or depth map exceeds a predetermined threshold. Thus, a pre-trained model can be included. For example, the feature point acquisition model 420 may correspond to a model pre-trained using an image-based neural network. As another example, the feature point acquisition model 420 may correspond to a pre-trained model using a transformer-based neural network.

The computing device 100 may perform visual localization 450 based on the first feature points 430, descriptors corresponding to the first feature points 430, and a plurality of pre-stored reference images. As a result of this visual localization 450, the pose 460 for the user device can be estimated. The pose 460 for the user device is determined based on the pose for the HMD, AR glasses, or VR glasses corresponding to the user device. It may include the location and direction of the helmet.

In one embodiment, visual localization 450 may include a methodology for determining the location and facing direction of a user device on query data based on a comparison between the query data and a pre-stored reference image. Specific methodologies for visual localization 450 are described in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0081908 filed on July 4, 2022, which is incorporated by reference into this patent application.

In one embodiment, the computing device 100 may perform visual localization 450 based on the second feature points 440 corresponding to the depth map of the query data 410.

The computing device 100 performs the visual localization 450 based on the second feature points 440, descriptors corresponding to the second feature points 440, and a plurality of pre-stored reference images, thereby providing visual localization to the user device. The pose 460 can be determined.

For example, the computing device 100 compares the first feature points 430 and the second feature points 440 to determine pixel coordinates corresponding to each other among the first feature points 430 and the second feature points 440. Third feature points having values can be determined. For example, the third feature points may include overlapping feature points among the first feature points 430 and the second feature points 440 . The computing device 100 may determine reference images having feature points corresponding to third feature points among a plurality of pre-stored reference images, and determine a pose 460 for the user device based on the determined reference images. . As another example, the computing device 100 compares first feature points 430 and descriptors corresponding to the first feature points 430 with a pre-stored reference image and compares the second feature points 440 and the first feature points 430 with a pre-stored reference image. 2 Visual localization 450 may be performed by comparing descriptors corresponding to the feature points 440 and a pre-stored reference image.

In one embodiment, when performing visual localization 450 on a user device that has acquired query data 410, the computing device 100 selects query image feature points and feature points of the reference image from among a plurality of reference images. A pose reference image can be determined based on matching between the pose reference images. The computing device 100 determines the determined pose reference image according to a comparison result between the 3D camera coordinates assigned to the pose reference image and the coordinates (e.g., two-dimensional coordinates) of the feature points 430 and/or 440 of the query data, Camera pose information for the query data 410 may be determined. The pose reference image in the present disclosure may refer to a reference image that is subject to matching with the query data 410 among reference images.

Visual localization 450 can be performed for one user device. The descriptors are mapped to the query data 410 and can be compared with the descriptors mapped to the reference image to determine a candidate reference image to be compared with the query data 410 among the plurality of reference images. Descriptors can be used to efficiently perform a comparison between the reference image and query data 410.

Figure 5 exemplarily shows a method for estimating a user's pose according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the present disclosure, an estimate of a user's pose may include an estimate of the posture the user is currently taking. For reference, the pose of the user device in this disclosure is intended to include the position and viewing direction of the user device determined based on VPS-based visual localization.

FIG. 5 exemplarily shows a method for estimating a user's pose, and a user's character in a virtual reality space may be created based on the estimation of the user's pose.

In one embodiment, computing device 100 may acquire an image captured by a user device (510). As an example, the image here may be included in the query data.

In one embodiment, the computing device 100 may estimate the position and direction of the user's head by performing visual localization on the acquired image (520). For example, during a virtual tactical training process, a user may be wearing a user device (eg, HMD device, AR glasses, or VR glasses). When visual localization is performed on an image acquired through a photographing unit of a user device worn by a user, a pose including the location and viewing direction of the user device may be estimated. The position and direction of the user's head may be estimated from the estimated pose of the user device. For example, the pose of the user's head may be estimated so that the pose of the user device and the position and direction of the user's head correspond to each other. As another example, the position and direction of the user's head may be determined from the pose of the user device based on pre-stored body information of the user.

In one embodiment, physical information about the user (eg, height, weight, waist circumference, and/or body size information) may be registered in advance. The computing device 100 may determine where the user's neck is located and the direction the neck is facing by applying body information to the user's head position and direction (530). For example, estimating the pose of the neck from the pose of the head may be implemented by determining the distance information between the neck and the head that is predetermined from the user's height information.

In one embodiment, the position and orientation of a weapon (e.g., a firearm) being held by the user may be estimated 540 from the position and orientation of the user's head or the position and orientation of the user device. For example, based on the interaction between tags attached to a user's weapon (e.g., a firearm) and tags attached to equipment (e.g., a helmet, etc.) corresponding to the user's head position, the location and orientation of the weapon may be determined. can be estimated. For example, the tags may include an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) tag and a first set of tags may be located on a helmet worn by the user and a second set of tags may be located on a firearm used by the user.

In one embodiment, the computing device 100 is configured to determine a link between a first tag of a first set of tags attached to a device corresponding to the position of the user's head and a second tag of the second set of tags attached to the user's weapon. A first measurement value including at least one of Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) or Round Trip Time (RTT) and TDOA between a third tag of the first set of tags and a fourth tag of the second set of tags Or, based at least in part on the second measurement value including at least one of the RTT, a relative pose including a relative direction and a relative position of the weapon based on the determined pose of the user device may be determined. For example, based on the first measurement, a first distance is determined between a second tag located at a first location on the firearm and a first tag located on the helmet, and based on the second measurement, a first distance between the first tag located on the helmet and the first tag located on the firearm are determined. A second distance between the fourth tag located at the second location and the third tag located on the helmet may be determined. Accordingly, a third position of the second tag from the helmet is determined from a first distance and a fourth position of the fourth tag from the helmet is determined from the second distance, and the third position and the Based on the relative relationship between the fourth positions, the relative direction in which the firearm is pointed based on the determined pose of the user device may be determined.

More specifically, the first set of tags attached to equipment worn by the user may be at least three (e.g., a 1-1 tag, a 1-2 tag, and a 1-3 tag) and held by the user. The second set of tags attached to the firearm may be at least two (eg, a 2-1 tag and a 2-2 tag). The 1-1 tag, the 1-2 tag, and the 1-3 tag may exist in different positions on the equipment worn by the user. The 2-1 tag and the 2-2 tag may exist in different positions on the firearm held by the user.

The first distance, second distance, and third distance may represent the distance from the first location of the gun where the 2-1 tag is located to each of the tags on the user's worn equipment (eg, helmet). Based on the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance, the location of the 2-1 tag with respect to each of the tags of the first set may be determined.

In one embodiment, a fourth distance between the 1-1 tag of the first set of tags and the 2-2 tag of the second set of tags, the 1-2 tag of the first set of tags and the A fifth distance between the 2-2 tags and a sixth distance between the 1-3 tag among the tags of the first set and the 2-2 tag may be determined. These fourth distances, fifth distances, and sixth distances may represent the distances for each of the tags on the user's worn equipment (eg, helmet) from the second location of the gun where the 2-2 tag is located. Based on the fourth distance, the fifth distance, and the sixth distance, the location of the 2-2 tag with respect to each of the tags of the first set may be determined.

In one embodiment, based on the location of the 2-1 tag relative to each of the first set of tags and the location of the 2-2 tag relative to each of the first set of tags, the 2- The relative position between tag 1 and the 2-2 tag may be determined. The movement and direction of the firearm can be estimated through changes in the relative positions between the two tags attached to the firearm. For example, the location of the 2-1 tag with respect to each of the tags in the first set, the location of the 2-2 tag with respect to each of the tags in the first set, and the location of the 2-1 tag and the Based on the relative position between the 2-2 tags, a relative pose including a relative direction and relative position of the firearm based on the pose with respect to the user device may be determined. For example, these relative poses can be expressed in three-dimensional coordinates.

In one embodiment, computing device 100 may determine the relative position and orientation of both or one hand of the user based on the relative orientation of the firearm, the relative position of the firearm, and the location of the predetermined grip area relative to the firearm. There is (550). For example, the position and pose of the user's hand may be estimated according to the direction in which the muzzle of the gun is facing and the position of the trigger portion of the gun, for example, along with information on the current position of the gun. In one example, it may be determined that one hand of the user is positioned on the trigger portion of the firearm and the other hand is positioned on the other grip portion of the firearm. In additional embodiments, the position and pose of the hand holding the firearm may be determined based on the user's body information (e.g., left-handed or right-handed information).

In one embodiment, the user's upper body pose is based on the position and direction of the user's neck determined in step 530, the relative positions and orientations of the user's both hands determined in step 550, and topographical information within the virtual reality space in which the user is located. can be determined (560). For example, terrain information within the virtual reality space may include information including the location, material, and shape of a specific object within the virtual reality space. The virtual reality space here may include a space (eg, digital twin) in virtual reality that corresponds to a specific space for tactical training. The user's upper body pose, which changes as the user moves in the virtual reality space and interacts with the corresponding object, may be determined based on the topographic information of the object. For example, preset dynamics and physics laws may be applied to terrain information in virtual reality space. Terrain information in this virtual reality space may include terrain attributes mapped to objects in real space. This topographical information includes material information including at least one of the height of the object, whether it is blocked, surface temperature, viscosity, absorption rate, reflectance, transmittance, scattering rate, attenuation rate, elastic coefficient and/or friction coefficient, and gravitational field, magnetic field, electric field, Coriolis force, It can be used to encompass spatial information including at least one of wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, air resistance, altitude, air density, viscosity, scattering rate, atmospheric pressure, elastic coefficient, friction coefficient, or vector field. For example, based on a method of mapping information about the object to an area corresponding to the recognition information of the object in the virtual reality space, objects in the virtual reality space can have the properties of objects in the real space. Pose estimation of the user's upper body can be determined based on inverse kinematics that reflects topographical information.

In one embodiment, the position and direction of the user's pelvis may be determined based on the upper body pose determined in step 560 and the user's body information (570). Pose estimation of the user's pelvis may be determined based on inverse kinematics that reflects topographical information. For example, the computing device 100 displays the pelvis in a manner that reflects the user's body information (e.g., height information and/or statistical information in which the pelvis position is defined among the body) predefined in the pose for the user's upper body information. The location and/or direction of can be determined. Additionally, the direction the pelvis is facing can be determined to correspond to the direction the upper body is facing.

In one embodiment, the user's lower body pose may be determined based on the location and direction of the pelvis determined in step 570 and topographical information in the virtual reality space where the user is located (580). Pose estimation of the user's lower body can be determined based on inverse kinematics that reflects topographical information. For example, the computing device 100 may determine the position and direction of the lower body in a manner that reflects topographical information corresponding to the user's location, which is predefined in the user's pelvis pose.

In the above-described manner, the computing device 100 may create a character in a virtual reality space corresponding to a user performing tactical training in a real space. This virtual reality space can correspond to a digital twin corresponding to the actual space. Information about the character may be displayed as an augmented reality object to other users located with the user in the actual space, and information about the character may be displayed as a virtual object to other users located in a space other than the actual space. Can be displayed as a real object. The computing device 100 operates in the virtual reality based on the determined position and direction of the user's neck, the determined relative position and direction of both hands of the user, the determined upper body pose, the determined lower body pose, and the user's body information. You can create a character corresponding to a user in space.

Figure 6 exemplarily shows a method of determining the relative pose of a firearm using a tag according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 6, three tags (A, B, and C) may be placed on the helmet 620 of the user 600. For example, the tags described above may include UWB tags.

The user 600 may have query data generated by the user device 610 . As the query data is transmitted to the outside (eg, digital twin server and/or VPS server, etc.), pose estimation for the user device 610 and pose estimation for the gun 640 may be performed. The display unit 630 of the user 600 may output information about objects and other users in the virtual reality space. There may be two tags, a and b, in the firearm 640.

Each of the three tags (A, B, and C) attached to the helmet 620 is capable of communicating with each of the two tags (a and b) attached to the firearm 640. Accordingly, communication results between tags aA, aB, and aC can be obtained from the perspective of tag a attached to the firearm 640. The results of aA, aB, and aC allow distance information to be derived for each of the a tag attached to the first location of the firearm 640 and the three tags (A, B, and C) attached to the helmet 620. do. From the perspective of tag b attached to the firearm 640, communication results between tags bA, bB, and bC can be obtained. The results of bA, bB, and bC allow distance information to be derived for each of the b tag attached to the second location of the firearm 640 and the three tags (A, B, and C) attached to the helmet 620. do. Movement information of the firearm 640 may be determined based on the helmet 620 according to information on changes in distances in these two distance information sets. In this way, the position of the firearm 640 can be determined relative to its position relative to the helmet 620. In this way, the direction in which the muzzle of the firearm 640 faces can be determined based on the position of the helmet 620. In the manner described above, for example, using VPS, the direction and position of the user device 610 are estimated, the direction and position of the helmet 620 are determined according to the direction and position of the user device 610, and the helmet 620 ) The direction and position of the firearm 640 can be accurately estimated.

Figure 7 exemplarily shows a method of determining the relative pose of a firearm using a tag according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

At least some of the example operations shown in FIG. 7 may be performed by computing device 100 and/or a user device.

As shown in FIG. 7, the relative position of the a tag can be determined from the A, B, and C tags from the TDoA or RTT of aA, aB, and aC (710). The relative position of the b tag from the A, B, and C tags can be determined from the TDoA or RTT of bA, bB, and bC (720). In the above-described manner, the relative position of the a tag located at the first position of the firearm and the relative position of the b tag located at the second position of the firearm can be determined. The relative position of the a tag can be accurately determined based on the distances between the a tag and each of the three tags (A, B, and C) located on the helmet. The relative position of the b tag can be accurately determined based on the distances between and the b tag. Based on the relative position of the a tag and the relative position of the b tag, the relative position of the b tag from the a tag (and/or the relative position of the a tag from the b tag) may be determined (730).

In one embodiment, as described above with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 , the absolute position and direction of the user device (e.g., HMD or AR glasses) may be determined through visual localization (e.g., VPS) (740). The position and direction of the firearm may be determined from the relative position of the b tag from the a tag (and/or the relative position of the a tag from the b tag) using the absolute position and direction of the user device as a reference point. The relative pose of the gun determined based on the determined pose of the user device may correspond to the absolute position and direction of the gun.

In the manner described above, the technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure estimates the current location and facing direction of a user participating in tactical training through a combination of visual localization (e.g., VPS) and UWB tags, and determines the user's firearm. The location and direction of the muzzle can be efficiently estimated. Accordingly, when implementing tactical training in virtual reality or augmented reality, tactical training participants can be accurately represented as objects in the virtual reality space or augmented reality space.

FIG. 8 exemplarily shows an aiming line in a virtual reality space generated according to a relative pose of a firearm determined according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, the example shown in FIG. 8 may include the actions of the first user 810 that are visible to users other than the first user 810. In this example, the aiming line 830 may be expressed as an augmented reality object to other users. As another example, the example shown in FIG. 8 may include the actions of the first user 810 in a virtual reality space that is visible to a third party who is not located in the space for tactical training. In this example, the first user 810 as well as the aiming line 830 may be represented to a third party as a virtual reality object.

In one embodiment, as described above in FIGS. 6 and 7 , based on the relative direction determined with respect to the firearm 820 being held by the user 810, a line of sight for the firearm 820 in virtual reality space ( 830), three-dimensional coordinates corresponding to each of the starting and ending points may be determined. Based on the determined three-dimensional coordinates, the aiming line 830 in virtual reality space can be created.

In one embodiment, the aiming line 830 displayed in the virtual reality space may be displayed differently based on material information of the object in the virtual reality space. For example, in the case of the first object 840, it may be mapped as having a material through which a bullet of a specific first speed or first force can pass, and in the case of the second object 850, it may be mapped as having a material that can pass through a bullet of a specific first speed or force. 2 It can be mapped as having a material that a bullet of force can pass through. Accordingly, the aiming line 830 is displayed as passing through a specific object based on predefined characteristic information of the firearm 820, bullet information, location information of the objects 840 and 850, and location information of the firearm 820. It can be decided whether it will happen or not. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the aiming line 830 may be displayed as passing through the first object 840 but not passing through the second object 850, and accordingly, the first object 840 and the second object ( An aiming line 860 passing through the first object 840 may be displayed between the lines 850 and 850 .

In additional embodiments of the present disclosure, material information for objects 840 and 850 may vary based on weather or climate information, for example. Changes in material information mapped to each of these objects 840 and 850 may occur based on weather and climate information. As such, the technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure allows the aiming line 830, which is generated according to the direction and position estimation of the firearm 820, to interact with the objects 840 and 850, making it more efficient in the process of tactical training. Accurate information can be represented as augmented reality objects or virtual reality objects.

In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the computing device 100 classifies objects included in query data using a pre-trained artificial intelligence-based image classification model or image segmentation model and pre-stores objects corresponding to the classified objects. Attribute information about an object including object material information and object recognition information can be obtained. Using this artificial intelligence-based classification or segmentation model, material information about an object may be automatically reflected in the virtual reality space without manually mapping the material information about the object.

In a further embodiment of the present disclosure, computing device 100 may include predefined characteristic information of firearm 820, bullet information, location information of objects 840 and 850, and material information of objects 840 and 850. , based on the spatial information of the path between the firearm 820 and the objects 840 and 850 and the location information of the firearm 820, the expected arrival path of the bullet fired from the muzzle may be determined. The bullet's expected arrival path may be variably determined based on information (eg, terrain information) assigned to objects in the virtual reality space and climate or weather information in the virtual reality space.

The technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can efficiently implement tactical training in which multiple users participate through virtual reality or augmented reality technology by implementing gun pose estimation through linkage between VPS and UWB.

Figure 9 exemplarily shows a method for displaying information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

At least some of the steps shown in FIG. 9 may be performed, for example, by computing device 100. Depending on the implementation aspect, some of the steps shown in FIG. 9 may be omitted or additional steps may be added.

In one embodiment, the computing device 100 may obtain information about the first augmented reality object from the first user device of the first user (910).

Computing device 100 may provide an augmented reality and/or virtual reality platform. By obtaining captured data from the client's device, the computing device 100 may estimate the current location and orientation of the client device and allow the client to enjoy activities on the augmented reality and/or virtual reality platform.

In one embodiment, the first user device may include an HMD device, AR glasses, and/or VR glasses used by a first user among a plurality of users participating in tactical training. The first query data may include a first query image and first metadata obtained by the first user device.

The second user device may include an HMD device, AR glasses, and/or VR glasses used by a second user among the plurality of users participating in tactical training. The second query data may include a second query image and second metadata obtained by the second user device.

External devices are devices and/or imaging devices placed in a space where a plurality of users participating in tactical training exist, and may include CCTV, drones, etc. The third query data may include a third query image and third metadata acquired by an external device.

In one embodiment, a query image (eg, a first query image, a second query image, a third query image, etc.) may include a two-dimensional RGB image or a grayscale image. In one embodiment, the query image may include a two-dimensional RGB image or gray scale image and a depth map. Metadata (e.g., first metadata, second metadata, third metadata, etc.) includes location information of a user device (e.g., first user device, second user device, etc.) or external device. can do. Location information is, for example, geodetic datum or geodetic system (or geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame), spatial reference system (SRS) or coordinate reference system (CRS) used in a specific region or country. , or may include coordinate values and/or direction values for a geographic coordinate system (GCS), etc. Other examples of location information may include GPS.

Additionally, metadata may include hardware-related information of the user device or external device, such as focal length, principal point, resolution, etc. Additionally, if there is a record of estimating the past camera pose of the user device, the metadata obtained from the user device is a preliminary estimate of the camera pose of the user device calculated from the value of the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) of the user device. May include estimated information. This preliminary estimate information about the camera pose of the user device may include an approximate camera pose estimated using IMU information, and this preliminary estimate information may include approximate location information and direction information about the user device. . When this preliminary estimation information is used, the candidate group of reference images to be matched with the query image may be reduced.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, metadata may further include camera information of a user device or external device, and an example of such camera information may include intrinsic parameters of the camera. The computing device 100 may determine a pose estimation algorithm used to perform visual localization among a plurality of pose estimation algorithms, based on camera information of the user device. For example, pose estimation for a user device (eg, camera) can estimate 6DoF in a direction that minimizes reprojection error.

For example, when the camera's internal parameters are not given (i.e., an uncalibrated camera), the pose estimation algorithm uses the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) methodology to determine the elements of the rotation matrix and the translation vector. The reprojection error equation, which includes the elements of (vector) elements and the internal parameters of the camera as unknowns, can be changed to a linear equation and the rotation matrix, translation vector, and camera matrix can be estimated through QR decomposition.

For example, given the camera's internal parameters (i.e., a calibrated camera), the pose estimation algorithm uses the Perspective-n-Point (PnP) methodology to transform the reprojection error, a non-linear equation, into a linear equation, which is different from DLT. Similarly, pose estimation can be performed by directly solving the reprojection error, which is a non-linear equation, using the Gauss-Newton methodology or the Levenberg-Marquardt methodology. In this example, representative PnP methodologies may include P3P, EPnP, and SQPnP methodologies.

In an additional example, the DLT and PnP methodologies described above may introduce RANSAC to minimize camera pose errors resulting from inaccuracies in the 3D coordinates of reference feature points or inaccuracies in query feature points.

Therefore, as described above, the technique according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can apply the camera pose estimation algorithm differently depending on the presence or absence of camera information, for example, DLT or PnP depending on the presence or absence of camera information. By using the methodology, camera pose estimation can be performed.

In one embodiment, the first pose, including a first location and a first orientation relative to the first user device, may be determined based on first query data obtained by the first user device, for example via a VPS. . This first pose may include information about where the first user device is currently located and where it is pointed. In one embodiment, the first pose may include the position and direction of the helmet worn by the first user. That is, the first pose may include the position and orientation of equipment (eg, helmet, hat, etc.) located proximally of the first user device.

The information on the first augmented reality object may include at least one of location information of the first augmented reality object, ID information of the first augmented reality object, ID information of the first user device, and/or mission information.

The location information of the first augmented reality object may include the coordinates of the first augmented reality object reflected in the virtual reality space. For example, the location information of the first augmented reality object may include coordinates of (1, 1, 1) in virtual reality space. Accordingly, the computing device 100 may place the first augmented reality object at the coordinates included in the location information of the first augmented reality object.

The ID information of the first augmented reality object may include a unique value of the first augmented reality object for identifying the augmented reality object in the virtual reality space. Accordingly, the computing device 100 may identify the first augmented reality object among the plurality of augmented reality objects based on the unique value of the first augmented reality object.

The ID information of the first user device may include a unique value of the first user device for identifying the user device that generated the information of the first augmented reality object. Accordingly, the computing device 100 may identify the user device that generated information on the first augmented reality object through the unique value of the first user device.

Mission information may be information about missions performed by combatants on a tactical training system. For example, mission information may include at least one of mission personnel, mission start date, mission deadline, mission priority, and/or notes. However, mission information is not limited to this and may include various information about the mission.

Accordingly, the information on the first augmented reality object may include first gun information, which is information about the first gun connected to the first user device.

At least one tag may be used to determine the relative pose of the gun being used by the user. At least one tag may be used to recognize and convey information about the firearm used by the user. For example, at least one tag may include a Bluetooth and/or Ultra Wide Band (UWB) based device. UWB refers to a short-range wireless communication technology that transmits large amounts of information at low power over a wider band than existing frequency bands. However, the at least one tag is not limited to this and may include various devices capable of transmitting information. At least one tag can recognize first gun information, such as whether the first gun was fired and the number of times it was fired. For example, at least one tag may be linked to the trigger of the first firearm to recognize whether or not it is fired.

The first user device may determine characteristics of display information related to the display of the virtual reality object based on whether or not the virtual reality object existing in the virtual reality space is occluded. For example, if at least a portion of the virtual reality object is occluded, the first user device may display the occluded first portion and the non-occluded second portion of the virtual reality object in at least one of different colors, borders, and/or shapes. You can. A case in which at least a portion of a virtual reality object is occluded may include, for example, a case in which the virtual reality object is occluded by a real space where the first user device is located and/or a real object located in the real space. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first user device displays a case in which a virtual reality object existing in a virtual reality space is completely occluded and a case in which the virtual reality object is not completely occluded with at least one of different colors, borders, and/or shapes. It may be possible. Accordingly, the first user can identify and recognize Pia through at least one of the color, border, and/or shape of the object displayed on the first user device.

In one embodiment, the first user device may determine characteristics of display information related to the second user's display based on whether the second user is occluded. When at least a portion of the second user is occluded, the first user device controls the occluded third portion of the second user and the non-occluded fourth portion to be different. It can be displayed by color, border, and/or shape. When at least part of the second user is occluded, for example, when at least part of the second user is occluded, for example, the second user is located in real space and/or real space where the first user device is located. This may include cases where it is occluded by a real object. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first user device may display a case in which the second user is completely occluded and a case in which the second user is not completely occluded with different colors, borders, and/or shapes. Accordingly, the first user can identify and recognize Pia through at least one of the color, border, and/or shape of the second user displayed on the first user device.

The computing device 100 stores the first augmented reality object in a virtual reality space so that the first augmented reality object generated based on the information of the first augmented reality object is displayed in augmented reality on a second user device that is different from the first user device. It can be reflected in the award (920).

The virtual reality space may be created based on information about the space related to the location of the first user device scanned or photographed using an imaging device.

The virtual reality space may reflect at least one of material information about an object included in the first query image or spatial information about the actual location corresponding to the first query image.

The material information of an object may include information about the physical elements of the object. For example, the material information of the object may include at least one of temperature, viscosity, absorption rate, reflectance, transmittance, scattering rate, attenuation rate, evaporation rate, elastic coefficient, and/or friction coefficient at the volume or surface of the object. The volume of an object may be a three-dimensional area excluding the surface of the object. For example, if the object is in the form of a gas, the volume of the object may refer to the area occupied by the gas.

The material information of an object may include information about non-physical elements of the object. For example, the material information of the object may include at least one of information about whether the object is blocking, blocking channel information, information about whether a trigger exists, information about a trigger channel, and/or tag information for programming.

Spatial information may include information about physical elements of space. For example, spatial information includes gravitational field, magnetic field, electric field, Coriolis force, wind direction, wind speed, temperature, humidity, air resistance, altitude above sea level, air density, viscosity, scattering rate, atmospheric pressure, elastic coefficient, friction coefficient, and vector field in space. It may include at least one of a vector field and/or a tensor field.

A vector field may be a set of vector values assigned to each point in space. A vector value may refer to a physical quantity with size and direction, such as position, speed, force, etc. For example, the vector value may include the strength of the gravitational field, the strength of the magnetic field, etc. However, the above-mentioned vector values are only examples and may include various values.

A tensor field may be a set of tensor values assigned to each point in space. The tensor value may be a value representing the moment of inertia or deformation of an object.

Spatial information may include information about non-physical elements of space. For example, spatial information may include at least one of information about whether there is blocking in space, blocking channel information, information about whether there is a trigger, information about a trigger channel, and/or tag information for programming.

The computing device 100 may have spatial information about the actual location stored in advance. As another example, the computing device 100 may receive information about the actual location corresponding to the first query image from an external server (eg, a weather server, etc.) that stores spatial information about the actual location. Accordingly, the computing device 100 may reflect spatial information about the actual location corresponding to the first query image in the virtual reality space.

In the virtual reality space, the material information of an object may be mapped to an area corresponding to the object. For example, the computing device 100 may map information about a tree to an area corresponding to the tree in virtual reality space.

In the virtual reality space, material information of objects reflected on the virtual reality space may be changed based on spatial information. That is, the computing device 100 may change the material information of the object reflected in the virtual reality space based on spatial information. For example, the computing device 100 may change the evaporation rate, which is one of the material information of the water in the water cup reflected in the virtual reality space, according to the temperature included in the spatial information.

Material information and spatial information of objects reflected on the virtual reality space may change with time based on preset rules on the virtual reality space. That is, the computing device 100 may change the material information and spatial information of objects reflected in the virtual reality space over time based on rules preset in the virtual reality space.

Preset laws may include physical laws, mechanical laws, etc. For example, preset laws may include Newton's law of gravity, Einstein's general theory of relativity, etc. For example, the preset law is the first law in which the strength of attraction is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance, the second law in which the gravitational constant G is greater than the actual value, etc., are arbitrary laws that do not exist previously set by the environment or the user. may include. However, the preset rule is not limited to this and may be determined depending on the environment.

The material information and spatial information of the object reflected on the virtual reality space affect each other (for example, the influence between the material information of the first object and the material information of the second object, the material information of the first object and the first spatial information influence between the space, the influence between the first space information and the second space information of the second space different from the first space, etc.), and may change with time based on preset laws in the virtual reality space.

When placing a virtual object in a virtual reality space, the computing device 100 may determine material information of the virtual object in a preset manner. The preset method may include a method of arbitrarily determining among a plurality of material information, a method of setting the material information of a real object corresponding to a virtual object, etc.

The first augmented reality object includes content corresponding to the information of the first augmented reality object, and can visually display the content. Content corresponding to the information of the first augmented reality object may include text. In one embodiment, the first augmented reality object may include content corresponding to the information of the first augmented reality object, and display the content audibly. Content corresponding to the information of the first augmented reality object may include voice. Accordingly, when a user device exists within a predetermined radius of the first augmented reality object, the user device can acquire and listen to a voice corresponding to the information on the first augmented reality object.

An augmented reality object (eg, a first augmented reality object, etc.) may include at least one of an augmented reality status board and/or an augmented reality marker.

The augmented reality status board is a board that indicates the status of a specific object in a virtual reality space, and can be displayed in correspondence to a specific object.
