Image processing device, image processing method, and program

An image processing method in an image processing device including a storage medium having feature data stored therein, the feature data indicating a feature of appearance of one or more physical objects, the method comprising the steps of:

• acquiring an input image obtained by imaging a real space using an imaging device;
• building an environment map based on the input image and the feature data, the environment map representing a position of a physical object present in the real space;
• acquiring procedure data for a set of procedures of operation to be performed in the real space, the procedure data defining a correspondence between a direction for each procedure and position information designating a position at which the direction is to be displayed;
• and
• generating an output image by superimposing the direction for each procedure included in the set of procedures at a position in the input image determined based on the environment map and the position information, using the acquired procedure data,
• wherein the procedure data defines a further correspondence between the direction for each procedure and a condition for progressing displaying of each direction.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer that controls an image processing device including a storage medium having feature data stored therein, the feature data indicating a feature of appearance of one or more physical objects, causes the computer to perform a method comprising:

• building an environment map based on an input image obtained by imaging a real space using an imaging device and the feature data, the environment map representing a position of a physical object present in the real space;
• acquiring procedure data for a set of procedures of operation to be performed in the real space, the procedure data defining a correspondence between a direction for each procedure and position information designating a position at which the direction is to be displayed;
• and
• generating an output image by superimposing the direction for each procedure included in the set of procedures at a position in the input image determined based on the environment map and the position information, using the acquired procedure data,
• wherein the procedure data defines a further correspondence between the direction for each procedure and a condition for progressing displaying of each direction.
