Abstract
Method, computer program product, and system to provide an extended vision within an environment having a plurality of items, where the extended vision is based on a field of view of a person determined using a first visual sensor, and is further based on at least a second visual sensor disposed within the environment. Image information from the first and second visual sensors is associated to produce combined image information. Selected portions of the combined image information are displayed based on input provided through a user interface.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method to provide an extended vision within an environment having a plurality of items, the extended vision based on a field of view of a person having a first computing device coupled with a first visual sensor within the environment, the environment associated with at least a second computing device coupled with at least a second visual sensor disposed within the environment, at least one of the first and second computing devices coupled with a display device and including a user interface (UI) for traversing the extended vision, the method comprising:
- analyzing first image information acquired using the first visual sensor to determine the field of view of the person, the first image information including one or more first items of the plurality of items;
- analyzing second image information acquired using the second visual sensor, the second image information including one or more second items of the plurality of items;
- based on the determined field of view, associating the first image information with the second image information to produce combined image information;
- and
- based on input provided through the UI, displaying via the display device at least portions of the combined image information to provide the extended vision.
A computer program product to provide an extended vision within an environment having a plurality of items, the extended vision based on a field of view of a person having a first computing device coupled with a first visual sensor within the environment, the environment associated with at least a second computing device coupled with at least a second visual sensor disposed within the environment, at least one of the first and second computing devices coupled with a display device and including a user interface (UI) for traversing the extended vision, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code executable by one or more computer processors to perform an operation that includes:
- analyzing first image information acquired using the first visual sensor to determine the field of view of the person, the first image information including one or more first items of the plurality of items;
- analyzing second image information acquired using the second visual sensor, the second image information including one or more second items of the plurality of items;
- based on the determined field of view, associating the first image information with the second image information to produce combined image information;
- and
- based on input provided through the UI, displaying via the display device at least portions of the combined image information to provide the extended vision.
A system to provide an extended vision within an environment having a plurality of items, the extended vision based on a determined field of view of a person and traversable using a user interface (UI), the system comprising:
- a plurality of computer processors, at least one processor included in a first computing device associated with the person, and at least one other processor included in at least one second computing device associated with the environment and communicatively coupled with the first computing device;
- a first visual sensor communicatively coupled with the first computing device, the first visual sensor disposed within the environment and configured to acquire first image information;
- one or more second visual sensors that are communicatively coupled with the second computing device, the second visual sensors disposed within the environment and configured to acquire second image information;
- and
- a display device communicatively coupled with at least one of the first computing device and the second computing device;
- wherein the plurality of computer processors are configured to perform an operation that includes:
- analyzing the first image information to determine the field of view of the person, the first image information including one or more identified first items of the plurality of items;
- analyzing the second image information, the second image information including one or more identified second items of the plurality of items;
- based on the determined field of view, associating the first image information with the second image information to produce combined image information;
- and
- based on input provided through the UI, displaying via the display device at least portions of the combined image information to provide the extended vision.
