    摘要: Methods and systems for recalibrating sensing devices without using familiar targets are provided herein. The method may include: capturing a scene using a sensing device; determining whether or not the device is calibrated; in a case that said sensing device is calibrated, adding at least one new landmark to the known landmarks; in a case that said sensing device is not calibrated, determining at least some of the captured objects as objects stored on a database as known landmarks at the scene whose position is known; and calibrating the sensing device based on the known landmarks. The system may have various architectures that include a sensing device which captures images of the scene and further derive 3D data on the scene of some form.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for improving sensor precision. In a training phase, a relatively low precision sensor system and a relatively high precision sensor system may record relatively low precision and relatively high precision training motion signals respectively of substantially the same training scene. Machine learning may be performed to generate a transformation mapping information from the relatively low precision training motion signal to the relatively high precision training motion signal. In a run-time phase, a run-time sensor system having a precision significantly less than the precision of the relatively high precision sensor system, may record run-time motion signals of a run-time scene. The run-time motion signal may be transformed using the transformation to generate a transformed run-time motion signal with a precision significantly greater than the precision of the run-time sensor system.

    摘要: A device, system, and method for applying time warp in an augmented or mixed reality environment. An image may be rendered corresponding to an estimated head position calculated based on head position and orientation measured at the initial time. Time warp may be independently applied to each sequential one of the plurality of segmented visual units of an image (e.g., color-frames or pixel-groups) to generate a plurality of respective time warp visual units corresponding to a plurality of different respective estimated head position and orientations calculated based on head position and orientations measured at a plurality of different respective sequential times after the initial time. The plurality of time warp visual units may be projected in the sequential order at the augmented or mixed reality device.
