Abstract
A panoramic image formed by projecting a target place to a virtual environment can be generated based on a plurality of environment images obtained by observing the target place from different angles of view. A machine can automatically recognize and intelligently extract layout information of the target place based on the panoramic image, and build, by using the layout information, a target virtual environment for simulating the target place.
Claims20
A virtual environment display method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a wearable electronic device, a plurality of images, wherein each of the plurality of the images is captured by a camera observing a target place from a respective different angle of view;
- obtaining, by the wearable electronic device, based on the plurality of images, a panoramic image by projecting the target place to a virtual environment;
- extracting, by the wearable electronic device, layout information of the target place in the panoramic image, the layout information comprising boundary information of an object at the target place;
- and
- displaying, based on the layout information and by the wearable electronic device, a target virtual environment, the target virtual environment being a simulation of the target place in the virtual environment.
A virtual environment display apparatus, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the virtual environment display apparatus to:
- obtain a plurality of images, wherein each of the plurality of the images is captured by a camera observing a target place from a respective different angle of view;
- obtain based on the plurality of images, a panoramic image by projecting the target place to a virtual environment;
- extract layout information of the target place in the panoramic image, the layout information comprising boundary information of an object at the target place;
- and
- display, based on the layout information, a target virtual environment, the target virtual environment being a simulation of the target place in the virtual environment.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, when executed, cause:
- obtaining a plurality of images, wherein each of the plurality of the images is captured by a camera observing a target place from a respective different angle of view;
- obtaining based on the plurality of images, a panoramic image by projecting the target place to a virtual environment;
- extracting layout information of the target place in the panoramic image, the layout information comprising boundary information of an object at the target place;
- and
- displaying, based on the layout information, a target virtual environment, the target virtual environment being a simulation of the target place in the virtual environment.
