Abstract
An information processing apparatus for outputting three-dimensional information that is determined based on received light includes an image capture unit configured to capture two-dimensional image information; and an output unit configured to output the two-dimensional image information for displaying, and the three-dimensional information associated with coordinates of the two-dimensional image information.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus for outputting three- dimensional information that is determined based on received light, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- image capture circuitry configured to capture two-dimensional image information;
- a projector configured to project light to a space;
- a light receiver configured to receive light reflected from one or more objects existing in the space;
- display control circuitry configured to instruct a display to display differently in accordance with presence or absence of a specific object;
- and
- determination circuitry configured to determine that the specific object is present when a charge amount caused by the light received by the light receiver is saturated and a charge amount of a pixel of the image capture circuitry is not saturated.
A method of processing information comprising:
- capturing two-dimensional image information;
- projecting light to a space;
- receiving light, at a light receiver, reflected from one or more objects existing in the space;
- instructing a display to display differently in accordance with presence or absence of a specific object;
- and
- determining that the specific object is present when a charge amount caused by the light received by the light receiver is saturated and a charge amount of a pixel of the image capture circuitry is not saturated.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform a method comprising:
- determining that a specific object is present when a charge amount caused by light received by a light receiver is saturated and a charge amount of pixel of image capture circuitry is not saturated;
- and
- instructing a display to display differently in accordance with presence or absence of the specific object.
