Abstract
In various embodiments, the present invention provides a system and associated methods of calibration and use for an interactive imaging environment based on the optimization of parameters used in various segmentation algorithm techniques. These methods address the challenge of automatically calibrating an interactive imaging system, so that it is capable of aligning human body motion, or the like, to a visual display. As such the present invention provides a system and method of automatically and rapidly aligning the motion of an object to a visual display.
Claims20
An interactive imaging system, comprising:
- an infrared image sensor configured to detect infrared illumination energy in a field of view;
- and
- a control unit communicatively coupled to the infrared image sensor, wherein the control unit is configured to:
- detect a user in the field of view;
- create audio/visual signals in response to the detected user;
- and
- modify the audio/visual signals in response to the presence and/or motion of the user, thereby providing user interaction in a virtual environment.
