Abstract
Image location selection is described for use in a depth photography system. In one example, a method includes receiving a selection from a user of a position in a captured image, comparing the selected position to objects in the image, selecting whether the selected position is intended to be within an object or outside an object, refining the position based on the selection, and determining a depth for an object corresponding to the refined position.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- receiving a selection from a user of a position in a captured image;
- comparing the selected position to objects in the image;
- selecting whether the selected position is intended to be within an object or outside an object;
- refining the position based on the selection;
- and
- determining a depth for an object corresponding to the refined position.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions thereon that when executed cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a selection from a user of a position in a captured image;
- comparing the selected position to objects in the image;
- selecting whether the selected position is intended to be within an object or outside an object;
- refining the position based on the selection;
- and
- determining a depth for an object corresponding to the refined position.
A computing device comprising:
- a memory to store a captured image;
- a display to present the captured image and to receive a selection from a user of a position in the captured image;
- a processor to compare the selected position to objects in the image, to select whether the selected position is intended to be within an object or outside an object, to refine the position based on the selection, and to determine a depth for an object corresponding to the refined position.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first location command to indicate a first location in an image on a screen of a computing device;
- creating a first metric dot on the screen in response to the first location command in the location of the first location command;
- animating or glowing the metric dot to indicate that the first metric dot has been placed;
- receiving a second location command on the screen;
- creating a second metric dot on the screen in response to the second location command in the location of the second location command;
- completing a metric line between the first and the second metric dots;
- receiving a compute command;
- and
- showing a metric flag with a measurement of distance of the metric line.
