US 2026/0065584 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RENDERING A REFLECTION FOR A VIRTUAL OBJECT IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Abstract

A method for rendering a reflection for a virtual object in an electronic device is provided. The method includes obtaining one or more red, green, and blue (RGB) frames and a depth-map associated with an augmented reality (AR) scene visualized in the electronic device for a user, determining one or more reflective surfaces in the AR scene based on the obtained RGB frames and the depth-map, identifying a type of the determined one or more reflective surfaces in the AR scene, generating a reflection map for the determined one or more reflective surfaces based on a placement of the virtual object, the identified type of the determined one or more reflective surfaces, and applying the generated reflection map on the determined one or more reflective surfaces to render the reflection for the virtual object in the electronic device.

Dependent claims

A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining at least one image frame and depth information associated with an augmented reality (AR) scene provided through the electronic device;
determining one or more reflective surfaces in the AR scene, based on the obtained at least one image and the depth information;
identifying a type of the determined one or more reflective surfaces in the AR scene;
generating a reflection map for the one or more reflective surfaces based on a placement of the virtual object, and the identified type of the one or more reflective surfaces, and
applying the generated reflection map on the one or more reflective surfaces to render reflection for the virtual object through the electronic device.

2 more elements

An electronic device, comprising:

memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions;
and
at least one processor communicatively coupled with the memory,
wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
obtain at least one image frame and a depth information associated with an augmented reality (AR) scene provided through the electronic device for a user,
determine one or more reflective surfaces in the AR scene, based on the at least one image frame and the depth information,
identify a type of the one or more reflective surfaces in the AR scene,
generate a reflection map for the one or more reflective surfaces based on a placement of the virtual object, and the identified type of the one or more reflective surfaces, and
apply the generated reflection map on the one or more reflective surfaces to render reflection of the virtual object through the electronic device.
