Abstract
In one aspect, a computer implemented method of motion capture, the method includes tracking the motion of a dynamic object bearing a pattern configured such that a first portion of the patterns is tracked at a first resolution and a second portion of the pattern is tracked at a second resolution. The method further includes causing data representing the motion to be stored to a computer readable medium.
Claims18
A computer implemented method of machine vision, the method comprising:
- identifying a first portion of a scale independent pattern of geometric shapes at a first resolution;
- identifying a second portion of the scale independent pattern of geometric shapes at a second resolution, wherein the second portion of the scale independent pattern cannot be identified at the first resolution;
- causing data related to the identifying to be stored to a computer readable medium;
- and
- executing a course of action based on the identifying.
A system for enabling machine vision, the system comprising:
- one or more vision sensors configured to scan and identify a scale independent pattern of geometric shapes;
- and
- a computer-readable storage device having a computer program stored thereon;
- one or more processing devices operable to execute the computer program, receive input from the one or more vision sensors, and perform operations comprising:
- identifying a first portion of a scale independent pattern of geometric shapes at a first resolution;
- identifying a second portion of the scale independent pattern of geometric shapes at a second resolution, wherein the second portion of the scale independent pattern cannot be identified at the first resolution;
- causing data related to the identifying to be stored to a computer readable medium;
- and
- executing a course of action based on the identifying.
A non-transitory computer-readable memory comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
- identifying a first portion of a scale independent pattern of geometric shapes at a first resolution;
- identifying a second portion of the scale independent pattern of geometric shapes at a second resolution, wherein the second portion of the scale independent pattern cannot be identified at the first resolution;
- causing data related to the identifying to be stored to a computer readable medium;
- and
- executing a course of action based on the identifying.
