Abstract
A method of generating at least one image of a real environment comprises providing at least one environment property related to at least part of the real environment, providing at least one virtual object property related to a virtual object, determining at least one imaging parameter according to the at least one provided virtual object property and the at least one provided environment property, and generating at least one image of the real environment representing information about light leaving the real environment according to the determined at least one imaging parameter, wherein the light leaving the real environment is measured by at least one camera.
Claims20
A method for generating an image of an environment, comprising:
- determining one or more properties of a virtual object to be presented in a view of a physical environment;
- and
- capturing, by a camera, an image of the physical environment, wherein one or more imaging parameters for the camera are set in accordance with the one or more properties of the physical environment and the one or more properties of the virtual object to account for the virtual object to be presented in the view of the physical environment, wherein the one or more imaging parameters for the camera cause the image of the physical environment to be captured with a predicted lighting effect of the virtual object on the physical environment.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable code executable by one or more processors to:
- determine one or more properties of a virtual object to be presented in a view of a physical environment;
- capture, by a camera, an image of the physical environment, wherein one or more imaging parameters for the camera are set in accordance with the one or more properties of the physical environment and the one or more properties of the virtual object to account for the virtual object to be presented in the view of the physical environment, wherein the one or more imaging parameters for the camera cause the image of the physical environment to be captured with a predicted lighting effect of the virtual object on the physical environment.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer readable media comprising computer readable code executable by the one or more processors to:
- determine one or more properties of a virtual object to be presented in a view of a physical environment;
- and
- capture, by a camera, an image of the physical environment, wherein one or more imaging parameters for the camera are set in accordance with the one or more properties of the physical environment and the one or more properties of the virtual object to account for the virtual object to be presented in the view of the physical environment, wherein the one or more imaging parameters for the camera cause the image of the physical environment to be captured with a predicted lighting effect of the virtual object on the physical environment.
