Patent ID: 11307731

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method of the present invention allows the user to draw images using augmented reality. The method is implemented by a processor executing a marker-less tracking algorithm stored in a memory of a mobile computing device. The method comprises detecting, by a page detector, an image of a drawing area; initializing a marker-less tracker, wherein said initializing comprises (a) capturing, via the page detector, a frame of the drawing area, (b) displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the mobile computing device, the frame of the drawing area, and (c) uniformly distributing on the GUI a template patch over the frame of the drawing area, and wherein the template patch is a fragment of texture of a template image used for surface tracking. The method further comprises executing a template patch tracking, wherein a perspective transformation of the template image to the frame as a current image is evaluated in video streaming on the GUI of the mobile computing device.
