Abstract
An imaging system for producing mixed-reality images for display apparatus. The imaging system includes a camera and a processor communicably coupled to the camera. The processor is configured to control the camera to capture image of real-world environment; analyze the image to identify surface that displays visual content; compare the visual content displayed in the image with reference image of the visual content to determine size, position and orientation of the surface with respect to the camera; process the reference image of the visual content to generate processed image of the visual content; and replace the visual content displayed in the image with the processed image to generate mixed-reality image, wherein resolution of the processed image is higher than resolution of the visual content displayed in the image.
