Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and system for presenting at least part of an image of a real object in a view of a real environment, comprising providing a first image of at least part of a real object captured by a first camera, determining at least part of the real object in the first image as an object image area, determining a first 3D plane relative to the first camera, the first camera being at a position where the first image is captured, providing at least one image feature related to the real object in the first image, providing at least one first ray passing an optical center of the first camera being at a position where the first image is captured and the at least one image feature, determining, according to a first plane normal direction of the first 3D plane, at least one first angle between the first 3D plane and the at least one first ray, providing a second image of a real environment captured by a second camera, determining a second 3D plane relative to the second camera, the second camera being at a position where the second image is captured, mapping at least part of the object image area to a target space in a view of the real environment captured at a viewp…
