A hand-manipulated prop is picked-up via a single video camera, and the camera image is analyzed to isolate the part of the image pertaining to the object for mapping the position and orientation of the object into a three-dimensional space, wherein the three-dimensional description of the object is stored in memory and used for controlling action in a game program, such as rendering of a corresponding virtual object in a scene of a video display. Algorithms for deriving the three-dimensional descriptions for various props employ geometry processing, including area statistics, edge detection and / or color transition localization, to find the position and orientation of the prop from two-dimensional pixel data. Criteria are proposed for the selection of colors of stripes on the props which maximize separation in the two-dimensional chrominance color space, so that instead of detecting absolute colors, significant color transitions are detected. Thus, the need for calibration of the system dependent on lighting conditions which tend to affect apparent colors can be avoided.

A method for generating a structured-light pattern is disclosed, wherein high-resolution real-time three-dimensional (3D) data can be obtained by using a single frame (or one-shot) imaging or double frames (or two-shot) imaging methods. The structured-light pattern for the one-shot imaging is formed of a multiple-stripe color pattern using a color selection scheme and a sequence principle. The proposed color selection scheme reduces the ambiguity in stripe labeling in one-shot imaging, and the proposed sequence principle increases the number of distinguishable stripe codes. The structured-light pattern for two-shot imaging is formed so that three-dimensional (3D) data can be obtained even for objects having strong surface colors with ambient lights, wherein the first two-shot pattern is synthesized, thereby forming a multiple-stripe color pattern using sign codes and a sequence principle under a condition that prevents color-transitions in more than one channels from occurring. Subsequently, the second two-shot pattern is formed by reversing the first two-shot pattern. Accordingly, high-resolution real-time three-dimensional (3D) data, which is insensitive to object shape and surface color, system noise and nonlinearity, can be obtained.
