Application: Virtual image displaying method and apparatus, electronic device and storage medium (Patent ID: US20230360337A1)

The patent filed by Beijing ByteDance Technology Co Ltd. describes a virtual image displaying method and apparatus that involve detecting a target object in a real-scene captured image, determining the real capturing direction of the terminal camera based on the target object's position, calibrating a virtual capturing direction for a virtual camera, and rendering a shared virtual image to superimpose it on the real-scene captured image. This method aims to enhance the application of complex virtual images in interactive scenarios by processing the virtual capturing direction to be more suitable for various uses.

The method further includes steps such as obtaining the shared virtual image, determining phase angles for the cameras, calibrating the virtual camera's phase angle, and performing rendering processing based on these angles. Additionally, the patent describes the involvement of a server in retrieving and processing the shared virtual image, incorporating scene and character images, and establishing them in a virtual coordinate system. The electronic device and storage medium outlined in the patent store instructions for executing these processes, including obtaining, detecting, calibrating, and rendering shared virtual images to be displayed in conjunction with real-scene captured images.
