Definitions
- the invention relates to systems and methods for inputting information about the position of a target and more particularly to such systems that employ a single camera image.
- Many computer-based systems require information about the location of a target.
- the familiar mouse is used to select a control or a coordinate on a screen.
- Another area in which target location data are input to a computer is in the field of automated video-conferencing systems.
- a user may aim a camera at an object of interest by simply indicating the object, or by controlling it with a joystick.
- Work is proceeding on many fronts on systems that allow users to indicate targets without the use of a mouse or a joystick, but by using the familiar gestures normally used to indicate targets to other people.
- gesture-based systems are more intuitive and easier to control than conventional systems that require explicit commands such as voice-command ("command- control,” basically a speech-based symbol processor where each verbal command corresponds to an instruction, for example "PAN - LEFT,” “UP,” “DOWN”' etc.), joystick control.
- command- control basically a speech-based symbol processor where each verbal command corresponds to an instruction, for example "PAN - LEFT,” “UP,” “DOWN”' etc.), joystick control.
- the mouse indicates the position of a desired two-dimensional coordinate on a screen by indicating relative positions.
- the starting position of the location indicated by it is arbitrary. Only by using feedback and relative movements can a user ultimately indicate a target position.
- a simple single-camera gesture- based technique which works much like a mouse, is described in US Patent No. 5,594,469.
- the user's gestures are acquired by a single camera and a position indicated by feedback.
- the user modifies the gesture until the feedback signal indicates the desired result. For example, the user moves his/her hand and the direction and magnitude of displacement are mapped to relative direction and magnitude displacements of a cursor on a screen.
- This system suffers from the same drawback as a mouse or joystick in that the starting position is arbitrary and (usually visual) feedback is required.
- the position of a target lying on a plane is indicated by inputting the projection of a pointing direction onto the plane. If the target is known to lie on a contour in the plane, the position is specified unambiguously by the direction projection, the intersection of the contour and the projection being the desired target.
- the two-dimensional position of a target can be specified by inputting its axial coordinates in successive steps.
- the image containing the target is translated and/or rotated and the target indicated again. The intersection of the two direction projections is then used to determine the position of the target in 2-space.
- the direction indications may be input by a camera or other method, such as one or more radio transmitters, casting of a shadow, etc.
- the strategy is to use planar projection transforms in the manner disclosed in US Patent Application Ser. No. 09/572,991, reference above, but instead of using two cameras to provide independent planar projections of a single direction- indicating vector onto a common plane, coordinates of a single camera's image are mapped to a known plane providing only one dimension of coordinate information rather than two.
- This single dimension can be used in multiple ways. For example, a single-axis control such as a slider control could be controlled with pointing gestures. A point on a road shown on a road map may also be indicated. Also, by using successive gesture inputs, say one for the row and one for the column of a table, a desired cell can be indicated.
- an image of a scene can be projected onto a screen and a target indicated on the scene. Then, after the first indication, the scene may be translated and/or rotated and the target pointed out again. From the two planar projections of these two pointing indications, the target's location may be deduced by simply finding the intersection of the two projections.
- Fig. 1A is a plan view of a jig for implementing an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. IB is a front elevation of the jig of Fig. 1A.
- Fig. 1C is a side elevation of the jig of Figs. 1A and IB.
- Fig. 2 is an illustration of a setup configuration used for an embodiment of the invention.
- Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate geometric relationships between planar projection coordinates in a setup camera image in which indicated positions on two contours are used to indicate a point.
- Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate geometric relationships between planar projection coordinates in a setup camera image in which indicated positions on a single contour moved to two positions is used to indicate a point.
- Fig. 7 is an illustration of a physical configuration that may be used to implement the present invention.
- a camera 150 is supported on a platform 110 behind a screen 135 with an aperture 155.
- the camera 150 is aimable at a scene in front of the screen such that the camera 150 views the scene through the aperture 155.
- the camera's 150 aim is such that the edges 170 of the aperture 155 are visible in its image.
- the field of view of the camera 150 is slightly clipped by the aperture 155.
- the purpose of the screen 135 is to present four markers in the form of the corners 261 - 264 of the aperture 155 and any apparatus that would be effective for that purpose would suffice.
- a transparent glass with marks or a wire-frame object are beneficial in the sense that they allow interpolation to be used to identify the coordinates of the four corners thereby increasing precision of the coordinate measurements relative to direct measurement of small markers.
- the apparatus 200 is placed in a position where it is used to view a user 30.
- a camera 240 is temporarily placed in a position and orientation such that the locus of points on which the target may lie, for example a screen 210, and the four points 261-264 of the apparatus 200 screen 135 are within its field of view.
- Four additional points 221 - 224 are also marked on the screen 210.
- the four points 221 - 224 are also in the field of view of the setup camera 240.
- a single setup image is all that is required of the setup camera 240.
- the image is used to calculate the planar projection transform that maps the four points 261 - 264 in the image of the camera 150 to the four points in the image of the setup camera 240.
- this setup transform is used to transform any image coordinates in the image of the camera 150 to that of setup camera 240.
- the image of the setup camera 240 is the basis for all target location data or its image can be transformed to any desired plane by suitably modifying the setup transform.
- the coordinates of the eye 236 and fingertip 235 of the user 30 are transformed from the coordinates in the camera 150 image to the coordinates of the camera 240 image.
- the illustration shows the user 30 pointing to a target 260 using a pointing gesture. It has been determined experimentally that the gesture used by people to point to a target, such as the target 260, is such that the user's fingertip 235, the user's right (or left) eye 230, and a target 260 are joined by a straight line. Referring now also to Figs. 3 and 4, the plane of the screen 210 is indicated at 350 and the line joining the eye 236 and fingertip 235 of the user 30 at 330.
- the planar projection of the target 260 in the view of the setup camera 240 lies along the planar projection of the straight line or direction vector 330 defined by the eye 236 and fingertip 235 of the user 30.
- the focal point of the camera 240 indicated at 325, along with the direction vector, define a plane 320.
- the target e.g., Tl
- the target point may be obtained by finding the intersection of the planar projection 310 of the straight line 330 and the vertical axis or slider control 360. Still referring to Figs.
- two axes or slider controls 360 and 365 may be projected in succession on the screen 210 and the position indicated by indicating first the vertical position on, for example, the vertical axis or slider control 360 and then the horizontal position on, for example, a horizontal axis or slider control 365. This is analogous to the way one would pick a particular cell of a table by specifying its column and then its row.
- a point can be specified on a non-straight line 460. If the projection line 410 corresponding to the direction vector 430 intersects the curve or contour 460 at one point only, then the target point can be determined unambiguously. For example, the position of a point on a road or outline of another object could be specified in this way. Again, the target is assumed to lie in a plane 450.
- a target 473 is indicated by the direction vector 430.
- the target 473 is known to lie on a path defined by the line 410 specified by the projection of the direction vector 430.
- the image's position and/or orientation are changed and the user generates another indication represented by the direction vector 430.
- a second projection line 412 is then defined in the plane 450. The intersection of the projection lines 410 and 412 indicate the location of the target 473.
- the projection lines 410 and 412 are defined relative to the scene.
- the target is indicated by a pointing gesture in a particular manner (eye-to-fingertip), there is no reason this indication could not be derived in other ways.
- a sighting device or wand could be used.
- the target could be any objects or images that substantially lie on a common plane.
- the objects or targets need not lie on a single plane, but could lie on multiple planes, each of which has a respective set of registration marks.
- the invention may also be extended by using other transforms so that targets can lie on surfaces other than flat surfaces. Still another variation is in the manner of gesturing to indicate a direction.
- a time series of images can be used to derive a direction such as the direction of a sweep of a hand or finger over a short interval of time as would attend a moving gesture to indicate a direction.
- another suitable application would be a white-board application.
- registration marks need not be marks on a screen, but may be the corners of a screen.
- registration marks may be projected on the screen at one point during setup and then removed. The registration point coordinates may then be used to compute the transform without further reference to the registration marks until the setup is changed.
- Another application of this technology is for use in aiming a camera at the target. Once the coordinates in the reference image are known, a camera may be re-aimed and zoomed to acquire the target. This would be useful in the context of an automated videoconference system.
- An image processor 505 receives image data from a camera 501.
- Image and coordinate data may be stored in a memory 510 or non-volatile storage 520.
- the transform data once computed, may be stored in the non- volatile memory 520 and the memory 510 used in the computation of the image from the camera 501 to derive coordinates x, y of the target which may be applied to an application process 530.
- the application process may command multiple image processing steps to effect the successive target-indicating steps discussed above. Each time a target is indicated, an indicator 522, such as a voice-response system, may indicate the user's input.
- the user may indicate that his/her current gesture is completed by saying a particular word or command. Alternatively, the user may indicate the same using gesture, a remote control button, or other indicator 522.
- the application process 530 then generates an output on an output device 540, such as a trace on a whiteboard or control data for an avatar of a game.
- an RF detector 524 may be provided.
- the projection data gathered by the camera 501 could also be derived from other sources such as sonar, radio, ultrasound medical equipment or any other device that is capable of forming a planar projection.
- the identical computation methodology may be used in connection with a pointing indicator other than one whose orientation is acquired by way of cameras.
- the orientation of a sighting tube or gun-sight with radio transmitters could be acquired by a computer and used to determine the position of a target on a screen.
- the technology used for radio-based writing tablets, networked whiteboard applications, and such could be employed to determine the orientation of a pointing device avoiding the need for cameras altogether. Note that this device could also be used in US Patent Application Ser. No. 09/572,991, which was incorporated by reference above.
