Abstract

An image processing system for visually augmenting a real-time video stream including at least one processor configured to receive the real-time video stream captured by an image sensor. The real-time video stream includes images of at least one cable and an electronic appliance. The processor is further configured to analyze the video stream to identify a plurality of ports in the electronic appliance; analyze the video stream to identify a cable for association with a specific port of the plurality of ports; cause a movable augmented indicator to display on the video stream, wherein the movable augmented indicator is configured to guide a user's connection of the specific cable to the specific port; monitor changing locations of the specific port as the image sensor moves relative to the electronic appliance; and adjust positions of the movable augmented indicator to account for the changing locations of the specific port.
