Video See-Through Depth Mapping Without Full 6 DOF Tracking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
XR devices face challenges in supporting Video See-Through (VST) display effects due to reliance on 6 DOF data, leading to low fluency and poor user experience when 6 DOF data is incomplete or unavailable.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method that uses preset stereoscopic shapes to provide fixed depth information, allowing VST to be realized even when full depth information is not obtained, by constructing a preset shape like a sphere and determining depth information based on this shape.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If VST technology relies on 6 DOF data for display, then the accuracy of spatial positioning is improved, but the system fails when 6 DOF data is incomplete or unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a preset stereoscopic shape as an intermediary model to bridge the gap between incomplete depth information and VST display requirements. This virtual model serves as a mediator that can be constructed even when full 6 DOF data is unavailable, allowing the system to maintain functionality by relying on the predefined geometric structure rather than complete sensor data
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary construction of a stereoscopic shape model in advance, storing depth information of preset shapes before they are needed for VST display. This preparation allows the system to quickly generate depth maps without requiring real-time 6 DOF data, ensuring continuous operation even when sensor data is incomplete
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system uses preset stereoscopic shapes to provide fixed depth information, then VST can be realized with incomplete depth information, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter representation from requiring complete 6 DOF sensor data to using predefined geometric models with fixed depth parameters. By transforming the problem from data-dependent to model-dependent, the system achieves greater adaptability across different VST scenarios while the complexity is confined to the software layer rather than hardware
3Measurement precision
If complete 6 DOF data is required for VST display, then the depth information accuracy is improved, but the image display fluency deteriorates when data is unavailable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses lightweight, computationally inexpensive preset stereoscopic shapes as temporary depth models instead of relying on expensive and time-consuming real-time 6 DOF data acquisition. These simple geometric models can be quickly constructed and updated, providing adequate depth information for VST display without compromising fluency, even though they are less accurate than complete sensor data
