Abstract
An apparatus and method for efficiently improving virtual/real interactions in augmented reality. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: capturing a raw image including depth data; identifying one or more regions of interest based on a detected spatial proximity of one or more virtual objects and one or more real objects; generating a super-resolution map of the one or more regions of interest using machine-learning techniques or results thereof; detecting interactions between the virtual objects and the real objects using the super-resolution map; and performing one or more graphics processing or general purpose processing operations based on the detected interactions.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- capturing a raw image including depth data;
- identifying one or more regions of interest based on a detected spatial proximity of one or more virtual objects and one or more real objects;
- generating a super-resolution map of the one or more regions of interest using machine-learning techniques or results thereof;
- detecting interactions between the virtual objects and the real objects using the super-resolution map;
- and
- performing one or more graphics processing or general purpose processing operations based on the detected interactions.
An apparatus comprising:
- a camera to capture a raw image including depth data;
- region detection circuitry to identify one or more regions of interest based on a detected spatial proximity of one or more virtual objects and one or more real objects;
- depth super-resolution circuitry to generate a super-resolution map of the one or more regions of interest using machine-learning techniques or results thereof;
- interaction detection circuitry to detect interactions between the virtual objects and the real objects using the super-resolution map;
- and
- wherein one or more graphics processing or general purpose processing operations are to be performed based on the detected interactions.
A machine-readable medium having program code stored therein which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform the operations of:
- capturing a raw image including depth data;
- identifying one or more regions of interest based on a detected spatial proximity of one or more virtual objects and one or more real objects;
- generating a super-resolution map of the one or more regions of interest using machine-learning techniques or results thereof;
- detecting interactions between the virtual objects and the real objects using the super-resolution map;
- and
- performing one or more graphics processing or general purpose processing operations based on the detected interactions.
