Abstract:
Recognition and capture of whiteboard markups for a projected image are provided to capture handwriting and free/natural user input obtained by marking a standard non-electronic whiteboard without buying an expensive pen, digitizing tablet, electronic whiteboard, and/or sensor. A storage device is connected to a bus and stores a computer-usable program product. A processor(206) displays a presentation image to the whiteboard as the projected image, discriminates a set of projected markups related to the presentation page, and generates a user input layer by separating and storing the set of the markups as an overlay for the presentation page.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, an apparatus, and computer/program/product executed by the computer for capturing markup layers on a whiteboard in relation to a projected image. SOLUTION: A presentation page is displayed on a whiteboard as the projected image. A set of markups on the whiteboard associated with the presentation page is identified. The set of markups on the whiteboard is isolated from the projected image of the presentation page to create a user input layer. The user input layer is saved as an overlay for the presentation page.
