Abstract
The application relates to acquiring images within a 3-dimensional room 4. Image acquiring areas 6 of the at least two imaging units 2 overlap within the room 4 within at least one 3-dimensional overlap box 8. In order to reduce occlusion, there is provided at least one image processing unit 10 arranged for obtaining the acquired images from the at least two imaging units 2, and for determining information about the at least one 3-dimensional overlap box 8, wherein said image processing unit 10 is further arranged for outputting information about the 3-dimensional overlap box 8 for being output by an information output unit 12.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- at least two imaging units arranged for acquiring images within a 3-dimensional room,
- wherein image acquiring areas of the at least two imaging units overlap within the room within at least one 3-dimensional overlap box,
- at least one image processing unit arranged for obtaining the acquired images from the at least two imaging units, and for determining information about the at least one 3-dimensional overlap box,
- wherein said image processing unit is further arranged for outputting information about the 3-dimensional overlap box for being output by an information output unit.
A method comprising:
- acquiring at least two images within a 3-dimensional room,
- wherein image acquiring areas of at least two imaging units overlap within the room within at least one 3-dimensional overlap box,
- obtaining the acquired images,
- determining information about the at least one 3-dimensional overlap box, and
- outputting information about the 3-dimensional overlap box.
A computer program product comprising instruction which operate a processor to
- acquire at least two images within a 3-dimensional room,
- wherein image acquiring areas of the at least two imaging units overlap within the room within at least one 3-dimensional overlap box,
- obtain the acquired images,
- determine information about the at least one 3-dimensional overlap box, and
- output information about the 3-dimensional overlap box.
A computer program comprising instruction which operate a processor to
- acquire at least two images within a 3-dimensional room,
- wherein image acquiring areas of the at least two imaging units overlap within the room within at least one 3-dimensional overlap box,
- obtain the acquired images,
- determine information about the at least one 3-dimensional overlap box, and
- output information about the 3-dimensional overlap box.
A gaming console comprising:
- at least one image processing unit arranged for obtaining acquired images from at least two imaging units, and for determining information about at least one 3-dimensional overlap box where image acquiring areas of at least two imaging units overlap within a room,
- wherein said image processing unit is further arranged for outputting information about the 3-dimensional overlap box for being output by an information output unit, and
- a processor for processing information of an entity relative to the overlap box.
