Augmenting multi-view image data with synthetic objects using IMU and image data

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:

• receiving a selection of an anchor location for a synthetic object to be placed within a multi-view image;
• computing movements between a reference image and a target image using visual tracking information associated with the multi-view image;
• generating a first synthetic image corresponding to a target view associated with the target image, wherein the first synthetic image is generated by placing the synthetic object at the anchor location using visual tracking information associated with the anchor location in the multi-view image and orienting the synthetic object using the inverse of the movements computed between the reference image and the target image, wherein the anchor location includes three-dimensional coordinates corresponding to 2D coordinates specified in the reference image along with a depth perpendicular to the plane of the reference image, the depth being triangulated, wherein generating the first synthetic image includes scaling the triangulated depth based on scale changes in the multi-view image;
• and
• overlaying the first synthetic image on the target image to generate an augmented image from target view of the target image.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory, wherein the memory stores instructions for:
• receiving a selection of an anchor location for a synthetic object to be placed within a multi-view image;
• computing movements between a reference image and a target image using visual tracking information associated with the multi-view image;
• generating a first synthetic image corresponding to a target view associated with the target image, wherein the first synthetic image is generated by placing the synthetic object at the anchor location using visual tracking information associated with the anchor location in the multi-view image and orienting the synthetic object using the inverse of the movements computed between the reference image and the target image, wherein the anchor location includes three-dimensional coordinates corresponding to 2D coordinates specified in the reference image along with a depth perpendicular to the plane of the reference image, the depth being triangulated, wherein generating the first synthetic image includes scaling the triangulated depth based on scale changes in the multi-view image;
• and
• overlaying the first synthetic image on the target image to generate an augmented image from target view of the target image.
