Abstract

See full text

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for detecting collisions or any other type of interactions between video images and an object depicted on a display. First, video images generated by a camera are received. Upon receipt, a first collision detection operation is executed for generating a first confidence value representative of a confidence that the received video images have collided with an object depicted on a display. Also executed is a second collision detection operation for generating a second confidence value representative of a confidence that the received video images have collided with the object depicted on the display. The first confidence value and the second confidence value are then made available for various applications. Such applications may depict an interaction between the video images and the object depicted on the display based on the first confidence value and the second confidence value.
