US Patent 11935199 Augmented reality depth detection through object recognition

A computer-implemented method includes receiving a two-dimensional image of a scene captured by a camera, recognizing one or more objects in the scene depicted in the two-dimensional image, and determining whether the one or more recognized objects have known real-world dimensions. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a depth of at least one recognized object having known real-world dimensions from the camera, and overlaying three-dimensional (3-D) augmented reality content over a display the 2-D image of the scene considering the depth of the at least one recognized object from the camera.
