Abstract
A first image processing apparatus displays markers on a monitor to thereby make a second image processing apparatus perform a display control of a second object on an imaged image of an LCD while the second image processing apparatus transmits a marker recognizing signal when the display control is performed based on the markers to thereby make the first image processing apparatus perform a display control of a first object on the monitor.
Claims29
An image processing system including a first image processing apparatus utilizing a first displayer and a second image processing apparatus utilizing an imager and a second displayer capable of viewing a real space on a screen, wherein
- said first image processing apparatus comprises:
- a first display processor which displays a predetermined marker image on said first displayer;
- and
- a first object display controller which performs on said first displayer a display control of at least a part of a first object image being a predetermined CG object;
- and
- said second image processing apparatus comprises:
- an imaging processor which performs imaging by said imager;
- and
- a second object display controller which performs a composition control of at least a part of a second object image being a predetermined CG object on a real space capable of being viewed on said second displayer at a position with reference to said marker image within said imaged image by recognizing said marker image within said imaged image, wherein
- said at least part of a second image is controlled within the imaged image in accordance with the state of said at least a part of a first object on the first displayer, and wherein
- said first object display controller, if the first object is made to be out of said first displayer, it erases the first object from said first displayer, and
- said second object display controller, correspondingly to the erase of the first object from said first displayer, it displays the second object in said second displayer so that it is superimposed on the imaged image, and the position where the second object is superimposed is decided at the outside of the imaged image of said first displayer.
A non-transitory storage medium storing an image processing program performing image processing between a first image processing apparatus utilizing a first displayer and a second image processing apparatus utilizing an imager and a second displayer capable of viewing a real space on a screen, wherein
- said image processing program causes a computer to function as:
- a first display processor which displays a predetermined marker image on said first displayer;
- and
- a first object display controller which performs on said first displayer a display control of at least a part of a first object image being a predetermined CG object,
- said image processing program causes said second image processing apparatus to function as:
- an imaging processor which performs imaging by said imager;
- and
- a second object display controller which performs a composition control of at least a part of a second object image being a predetermined CG object on a real space capable of being viewed on said second displayer at a position with reference to said marker image within said imaged image by recognizing said marker image within said imaged image, wherein
- said at least part of a second image is controlled within the imaged image in accordance with the state of said at least a part of a first object on the first displayer, and wherein
- said first object display controller, if the first object is made to be out of said first displayer, it erases the first object from said first displayer, and
- said second object display controller, correspondingly to the erase of the first object from said first displayer, it displays the second object in said second displayer so that it is superimposed on the imaged image, and the position where the second object is superimposed is decided at the outside of the imaged image of said first displayer.
A first image processing apparatus being brought into association with a second image processing apparatus that utilizes an imager and a second displayer capable of viewing a real space on a screen by using a first displayer, comprising:
- a first display processor which displays a predetermined marker image on said first displayer;
- and
- a first object display controller which performs on said first displayer a display control of at least a part of a first object image being a predetermined CG object, wherein
- said second image processing apparatus comprises:
- an imaging processor which performs imaging by said imager;
- and
- a second object display controller which performs a composition control of at least a part of a second object image being a predetermined CG object on a real space capable of being viewed on said second displayer at a position with reference to said marker image within said imaged image by recognizing said marker image within said imaged image, wherein
- said at least part of a second image is controlled within the imaged image in accordance with the state of said at least a part of a first object on the first displayer, and wherein
- said first object display controller, if the first object is made to be out of said first displayer, it erases the first object from said first displayer, and
- said second object display controller, correspondingly to the erase of the first object from said first displayer, it displays the second object in said second displayer so that it is superimposed on the imaged image, and the position where the second object is superimposed is decided at the outside of the imaged image of said first displayer.
A second image processing apparatus utilizing an imager and a second displayer capable of viewing a real space on a screen in associating with a first image processing apparatus utilizing a first displayer, wherein
- said first image processing apparatus comprises:
- a first display processor which displays a predetermined marker image on said first displayer;
- and
- a first object display controller which performs on said first displayer a display control of at least a part of a first object image being a predetermined CG object,
- comprising:
- an imaging processor which performs imaging by said imager;
- and
- a second object display controller which performs a composition control of at least a part of a second object image being a predetermined CG object on a real space capable of being viewed on said second displayer at a position with reference to said marker image within said imaged image by recognizing said marker image within said imaged image, wherein
- said at least part of a second image is controlled within the imaged image in accordance with the state of said at least a part of a first object on the first displayer, and wherein
- said first object display controller, if the first object is made to be out of said first displayer, it erases the first object from said first displayer, and
- said second object display controller, correspondingly to the erase of the first object from said first displayer, it displays the second object in said second displayer so that it is superimposed on the imaged image, and the position where the second object is superimposed is decided at the outside of the imaged image of said first displayer.
An image processing method performed by a first image processing apparatus utilizing a first displayer and a second image processing apparatus utilizing an imager and a second displayer capable of viewing a real space on a screen, including the following steps to be executed by a computer of said first image processing apparatus of:
- a first display processing step for displaying a predetermined marker image on said first displayer;
