This invention relates to an augmented reality device and to a method of displaying rendered content.
Modern computing and display technologies have facilitated development of visual perception devices such as “virtual reality” viewing devices. A virtual reality viewing device may be a wearable device that presents the user with two images, one for the left eye and one for the right eye. Objects in the images may differ from one another in a manner that allows the brain to process the objects as a three-dimensional object. When the images constantly change, movement in three-dimensions can be simulated. A virtual reality viewing device typically involves presentation of digital or virtual image information without transparency to other real-world objects.
Other visual perception devices, so called “augmented reality” viewing devices usually include technology that allows for the presentation of digital and virtual image information as an augmentation to visualization of the actual world around the user. An augmented reality viewing device may, for example, have one or more transparent eyepieces that allow the user to see real world objects behind the eyepieces. Such an eyepiece can serve as a wave guide through which laser light propagates from a laser projector towards an eye of the user. A laser light pattern created by the projector becomes visible on the retina of the eye. The retina of the eye then receives light from the real-world objects behind the eyepiece and laser light from the projector. Real world objects are thus augmented with image data from the projector, in the perception of the user.
Augmented reality devices often have technology that permit for an object to remain in a stationary position relative to real world objects, as perceived by the user, even if the user would move their head. If the user would, for example, rotate their head to the right, the rendered object has to rotate to the left within the view of the user together with real world objects. Movement of the augmented reality device may be tracked through a measurement device such as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) so that the position of the object can be adjusted via the projector.
In some embodiments, the invention provides an augmented reality device including a head-mountable frame, a radar system, a measurement unit, measurement unit filter, a sensor fusion module, a rendering module, an eyepiece and a projector. The radar system generates first and second radar maps of locations of real-world objects relative to the user at first and second times in the slow domain. The measurement unit may be secured to the frame and detects first and second measurement values at the first and second times in the slow domain, each measurement value being indicative of a position and movement of the measurement unit. The measurement unit filter may be connected to the measurement unit. The sensor fusion module may be connected to the image processing module and may be operable to (i) determine first and second pose estimates, the first pose estimate being based on the first set of radar fingerprints relative to the first measurement value and the second pose estimate being based on the second set of radar fingerprints relative to the second measurement value, (ii) determine drift of the measurement unit by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate, and (iii) adjust the measurement unit filter to correct for the drift. The rendering module determines a desired position of a rendered object based on the second pose. The eyepiece may be secured to the frame. The projector may be secured to the frame and may be operable to convert data into light to generate the rendered object and displaying the rendered object in the desired position to the user through the eyepiece.
In some embodiments, the invention also provides another augmented reality device including a head-mountable frame, a radar system, a measurement unit, measurement unit filter, a sensor fusion module, a rendering module, an eyepiece, and a projector. The radar system includes at least a first radar device that has a first radar transmitter secured to the frame and transmitting a radio wave at first and second times in a slow domain and a first radar receiver secured to the frame and detecting the radio waves after the radio waves are reflected from a surface, a radar tracking module connected to the first radar receiver and determining first and second time intervals in a fast domain between the transmission and the detection of the radio waves, respectively, a radar mapping module connected to the radar tracking module and generating first and second radar maps of locations of real-world objects relative to the user based at least on the respective times in the fast domain, an image processing module connected to the radar mapping module and calculating a first and second sets of radar fingerprints based on the locations of the real-world objects in the first and second radar maps, respectively. The measurement unit may be secured to the frame and may detects first and second measurement values at the first and second times in the slow domain, each measurement value being indicative of a position and movement of the measurement unit, a measurement unit filter connected to the measurement unit. The sensor fusion module may be connected to the image processing module and may be operable to (i) determine first and second pose estimates, the first pose estimate being based on the first set of radar fingerprints relative to the first measurement value and the second pose estimate being based on the second set of radar fingerprints relative to the second measurement value, (ii) determine drift of the measurement unit by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate, and (iii) adjust the measurement unit filter to correct for the drift. The rendering module may determine a desired position of a rendered object based on the second pose. The eyepiece may be secured to the frame. The projector may be secured to the frame and may be operable to convert data into light to generate the rendered object and displaying the rendered object in the desired position to the user through the eyepiece.
In some embodiments, the invention further provides a further augmented reality device including a head-mountable frame, a radar system, a measurement unit, measurement unit filter, a sensor fusion module, a rendering module, an eyepiece, and a projector. The radar system may be secured to the frame and may include a radar transmitter secured to the frame and initiates execution of a first radar cycle by transmitting a first radio wave, a radar receiver secured to the frame and detecting the first radio wave after the first radio wave may be reflected from a surface, a radar tracking module connected to the radar receiver and determining a first time between the transmission and the detection of the first radio wave, a radar mapping module connected to the radar tracking module and generating a first radar map of locations of real-world objects relative to the user based at least on the first time between the transmission and the detection of the first radio wave and an image processing module connected to the radar mapping module and calculating a first set of radar fingerprints based on the locations of the real-world objects in the first radar map to complete the first radar cycle. The measurement unit may be secured to the frame and may detect a first measurement value indicative of a position and movement with a measurement unit that may be secured to the frame. The sensor fusion module is connected to the image processing module. The measurement unit may determine a first pose estimate of the first set of radar fingerprints relative to the first measurement value. The radar system executes a second radar cycle, which may include transmitting a second radio wave, detecting the second radio wave after the second radio wave is reflected from the surface, determining a second time between the transmission and the detection of the second radio wave, generating a second radar map of locations of real-world objects relative to the user based at least on the second time between the transmission and the detection of the second radio wave and calculating a second set of radar fingerprints based on the locations of the real-world objects in the second radar map. The measurement unit detects a second measurement value indicative of a position and movement with the measurement unit secured to the frame. The sensor fusion module may determine a second pose estimate of the second set of radar fingerprints relative to the second measurement value, may determine drift of the measurement unit by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate, and adjusts a measurement unit filter that may be connected to the measurement unit to correct for the drift. The rendering module may determine a desired position of a rendered object based on the second pose. The eyepiece may be secured to the frame. The projector may be secured to the frame and may be operable to convert data into light to generate the rendered object and displaying the rendered object in the desired position to the user through the eyepiece.
In some embodiments, the invention also provides a method of displaying rendered content. A head-mountable frame may be attached to a head of a user. A plurality of radar cycles may be executed to generate first and second radar maps of locations of real-world objects relative to the user at first and second times in the slow domain. First and second measurement values may be detected at the first and second times in the slow domain, each measurement value being indicative of a position and movement with a measurement unit secured to the frame. A first and second pose estimate may be determined, the first pose estimate being based on the first set of radar fingerprints relative to the first measurement value and the second pose estimate being based on the second set of radar fingerprints relative to the second measurement value. A drift of the measurement unit may be determined by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate. A measurement unit filter that may be connected to the measurement unit may be adjusted to correct for the drift. A desired position of a rendered object may be determined based on the second pose estimate. Data may be converted into light to generate the rendered object and the rendered object may be displayed in the desired position to the user through an eyepiece secured to the head-mountable frame.
In some embodiments, the invention provides another method of displaying rendered content. A head-mountable frame may be attached to a head of a user. A plurality of radar cycles may be executed, including transmitting a radio wave at a first and second times in a slow domain, detecting the radio waves after the radio waves are reflected from a surface, determining first and second time intervals in a fast domain between the transmission and the detection of the radio waves, respectively, generating first and second radar maps of locations of real-world objects relative to the user based at least on the respective times in the fast domain and calculating first and second sets of radar fingerprints based on the locations of the real-world objects in the first and second radar maps, respectively. A first and second measurement values may be detected at the first and second times in the slow domain, each measurement value being indicative of a position and movement with a measurement unit secured to the frame. First and second pose estimates may be determined, the first pose estimate being based on the first set of radar fingerprints relative to the first measurement value and the second pose estimate being based on the second set of radar fingerprints relative to the second measurement value. Drift of the measurement unit may be determined by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate, adjusting a measurement unit filter that may be connected to the measurement unit to correct for the drift. A desired position of a rendered object may be determined based on the second pose estimate. Data may be converted into light to generate the rendered object and the rendered object may be displayed in the desired position to the user through an eyepiece secured to the head-mountable frame.
In some embodiments, the invention provides further method of displaying rendered content. A head-mountable frame may be attached to a head of a user. A first radar cycle may be executed that may include transmitting a first radio wave, detecting the first radio wave after the first radio wave is reflected from a surface, determining a first time between the transmission and the detection of the first radio wave, generating a first radar map of locations of real-world objects relative to the user based at least on the first time between the transmission and the detection of the first radio wave and calculating a first set of radar fingerprints based on the locations of the real-world objects in the first radar map, detecting a first measurement value indicative of a position and movement with a measurement unit secured to the frame.

A second measurement value may be determined that is indicative of a position and movement with the measurement unit secured to the frame. A second pose estimate may be determined of the second set of radar fingerprints relative to the second measurement value. Drift of the measurement unit may be determined by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate. A measurement unit filter that may be connected to the measurement unit may be adjusted to correct for the drift. A desired position of a rendered object may be determined based on the second pose estimate. Data may be converted into light to generate the rendered object and the rendered object may be displayed in the desired position to the user through an eyepiece secured to the head-mountable frame.
The invention is further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
An augmented reality device has a radar system that generates radar maps of locations of real world objects. An inertial measurement unit detects measurement values such as acceleration, gravitational force and inclination ranges. The values from the measurement unit drift over time. The radar maps are processed to determine fingerprints and the fingerprints may be combined with the values from the measurement unit to store a pose estimate. Pose estimates at different times may be compared to determine drift of the measurement unit. A measurement unit filter may be adjusted to correct for the drift.
Positive terms such as “is”, “are”, “have”, etc. are preferred herein as opposed to optional terms such as “may be” or “may have”, etc. Positive terms are used to comply with the requirements for (i) describing the best mode, (ii) providing a description that enables one of ordinary skill in the art to make the invention and (iii) providing an example. It should however be understood that the specific details that are described using positive terms may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as more broadly defined in the claims.
The radar system 16 may include first, second and third radar devices 30, 32 and 34. Each radar device 30, 32 and 34 may be mounted to the frame 14. Each radar device 30, 32 and 34 has a particular orientation that allows the radar device 30, 32 or 34 to transmit and receive radio waves in a desired direction.
A radar system may comprise one or more antenna for transmitting and/or receiving signals. The radar system may have a chip with a fixed number of antenna fixed to the chip. In order to obtain the desired signal number and/or directionality, more than one chip may be used, and each chip may be placed as needed to direct the signal to the desired location. Alternatively, the radar system may have a single chip with one or more antenna that may be placed in different locations and pointing in different directions in order to obtain the desired radar signals
The measurement unit 18 may be an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The measurement unit 18 may include one or more accelerometers, a gyroscope and a magnetometer. As will be commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, an accelerometer measures acceleration, the acceleration may be integrated to determine velocity, and the velocity may be integrated to determine position. The gyroscope may determine changes in angular orientation. The magnetometer may determine the direction of gravitational force and may determine an “attitude” of the measurement unit relative to the direction of gravitational force.
The projectors 24 and 26 may be operable to convert data into light (e.g. laser light, or LED light) and to generate a rendered object. The projectors 24 and 26 may have lasers that are oriented to direct laser light into the eyepieces 20 and 22, respectively. The eyepieces 20 and 22 may be waveguides that may be also transparent.
Each one of the radar devices 30, 32 or 34 has field-of-view of approximately 30° and an operation range of 0.1 to 4 meters. The radar devices 30, 32 and 34 are typically operated to transmit and receive radio waves. The radio waves may be frequency modulated continuous waves. The radio waves may be millimeter-wave radar (e.g. operating in the 60 GHz band). Each radar device 30, 32 and 34 may have more than one transmission (TX) channel (e.g., two TX channels) and more than one reception (RX) channel (e.g., four RX channels) with some channels measuring redundant signal.
The visual camera 28 captures grayscale images and depth maps at approximately 60 Hz. The visual camera 28 has a field-of-view of approximately 90° and an operating range of approximately 1 to 4 meters.
As shown in
The head-mounted device hardware 44 include the first, second and third radar devices 30, 32 and 34, the measurement unit 18, and the visual camera 28. Each radar device 30, 32 or 34 has a respective radar transmitter 46 and a respective radar receiver 48. The measurement unit 18 may include a number of measurement devices, including an accelerometer 50, a gyroscope 52 and a magnetometer 54.
All the components of the head-mounted device hardware 44 are directly or indirectly mounted to the frame 14 and are therefore stationary relative to the frame 14. The on-device software stack 40 may include a user interface 60, an application interface 62, a rendering module 64, a real-time tracking module 66, a mapping and map management module 68, a sensor fusion module 70, an image processing module 72 and a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) 74.
The real-time tracking module 66 may include a radar tracking module 76, a radar mapping module 78, a visual tracking module 80 and a visual mapping module 82. The mapping and map management module 68 may include at least one radar map 84, a visual map 86, and a map merge and optimization module 88.
The components of the on-device software stack 40 are shown as separate modules. The modules may, however, be connected to one another in the form of calls and subroutines within a computer program. The components of the on-device software stack 40 may be connected through the hardware abstraction layer 74 to components of the head-mounted device hardware 44. Of significance is that the radar tracking module 76 may be connected to the radar transmitters 46 and radar receivers 48 of the radar devices 30, 32 and 34 and that the radar mapping module 78 may be connected to the radar tracking module 76. Of significance also is that the visual tracking module 80 may be connected to the visual camera 28 and the visual mapping module 82 may be connected to the visual tracking module 80.
The radar mapping module 78 creates the radar map 84 and the visual tracking module 80 creates the visual map 86. The image processing module 72 reads the radar map 84 and the visual map 86 to determine features within the maps. Further radar maps 90 and visual maps 92 may be located within the cloud database 42. The cloud database 42 may be connected to the mapping and map management module 68 so that the radar maps 90 and the visual maps 92 can be stored in or be downloaded from the cloud database 42. The sensor fusion module 70 may be connected to the image processing module 72 and to the measurement devices of the measurement unit 18.
In use, the user 12 secures the frame 14 to their head. The frame 14 has a bridge portion 96 that rests on a nose of the user 12 and temple pieces 98 that extend over the ears of the user 12 and secure to the ears of the user 12 or secure around the back of their head. The eyepieces 20 and 22 may be located in front of eyes of the user 12. All components mounted to the frame 14, including the radar system 16 and the measurement unit 18 may be stationary relative to the head of the user 12 and move together with the head of the user 12 when the user 12 moves their head.
The visual camera 28 continually captures a grayscale image of objects in front of the user 12. The visual tracking module 80 controls the visual camera 28. The visual mapping module 82 generates the visual map 86 based on the grayscale image received from the visual camera 28. The image processing module 72 processes the visual map 86 to determine objects within the visual map 86. The latest visual map 86 may be stored as the visual map 86 within the mapping and map management module 68 and earlier maps may be stored as the visual maps 92 within the cloud database 42. A “visual system” may be thus provided by the visual camera 28, visual tracking module 80, visual mapping module 82, the visual maps 86 and 92 and the image processing module 72.
As shown in
The radar devices 30, 32 and 34 may be under the control of the radar tracking module 76. The radar tracking module 76 provides the frequency in the slow domain to the radar transmitters 46. The radar tracking module 76 also samples the radio waves through the radar receivers 48 in the fast domain. As is commonly understood in the field of radar engineering, a radio wave will take longer between transmission and reception when it is reflected from a surface that is farther away than from a closer surface. The time between transmission and reception may be in the fast domain and may be an indicator of the distance of the surface from which the radio wave is reflected. Each radar receiver 48 has an array of detectors that can detect the distances to surfaces over a two-dimensional area. In addition, the radar receivers 48 detect back scatter. Different types of surfaces have different back scatter properties and the back scatter is thus a measure of the type of surface, e.g. surface roughness or texture. The distance of each surface, its location in two-dimensional space, its size and the type of surface are all eventually used to provide a fingerprint that may include the individual surfaces and the surfaces in combination.

Range-Doppler maps are well known in the art, and many radar sensor systems automatically create one or more range-doppler maps. In general, the system sends out one or more TX signals and one or more objects reflect the signal back (RX). The received signal may be converted to a range Doppler map using one or more manipulations, including conversion to a slow time/fast time chart, a windowed Fourier Fast Transform (FFT), and background subtraction. Other suitable methods of creating a range-Doppler map may be used, as long as the standard form is range on the y-axis and velocity on the x-axis.
The time domain graph 115 shows the RX signal that is received in response to the pulses in the frequency domain graph 113. Reflected signals from objects that are farther away take a longer time to travel. Different voltage levels indicate different distances, due of the design of the RX circuitry.
The signal from the RX channel is divided into smaller sample pieces. The sample pieces of the RX signal are divided in time in accordance with the pulses in the TX signal.
Four matrices represent subsequent processing of the RX signal. The first matrix shows that the time domain graph 115 is transformed into slow time and fast time, each being represented on a respective axis. Each sample of the RX signal (between the pulses of the TX signal) is entered into its own column in the matrix. The second matrix show the result of a fast-Fourier transformation along the fast time. The fast time domain provides data regarding the range of different surfaces. Background subtraction in the third matrix allows for objects in the foreground to be isolated so that a moving object can be identified. The fourth matrix shows a fast-Fourier transformation along the slow time to create a range Doppler map that shows range and velocity on different axes.
After the range-Doppler maps have been calculated as discussed with reference to
The range-Doppler map only goes so far as to make a determination of the relative location of objects. For example, the range-Doppler map may show that there is a wall three feet away. A wall should not move if a correction for ego motion is made, i.e. the velocity of a wall should be zero. Without ego correction, if the user should walk towards the wall with a certain velocity, it would appear from the range Doppler map that the wall is moving. Once the system makes a correction to adjust for the ego motion, the wall will remain stationary within the range-Doppler map. The IMU data that is read at 114 in

The sequence hereinbefore described with reference to
At a second t2 in the slow domain, the system again proceeds to illuminate the world via the TX channels at 110. The process continues through 112 where the RX channels are read, 114 where the IMU data may be read, 116 where a 3D orientation of the device may be determined, 118 where normalized range-Doppler maps are created, 120 where radar fingerprints are calculated, 122 where a pose estimate may be determined, and 124 where the pose estimate may be refined with fingerprints from the visual map. At 126, a determination may be made whether an earlier set of radar fingerprints is available. In the present example, an earlier set of radar fingerprints was previously calculated at t1. The system then proceeds to 128 to update the pose estimate. Values that are provided by the measurement unit 18 drift over time and become inaccurate. The drifts are primarily the result of double integration of acceleration to obtain position. The amount of drift can be determined by comparing the first pose estimate with the second pose estimate. Necessary adjustments are then made to correct for the drift. The adjustments thus form an updated pose estimate. Fingerprints may only be stored long enough to correct for IMU drift and may then discarded. Fingerprints may be stored in a circular buffer or the like. More than one fingerprint can be retained, for example the last five fingerprints, so that a path of the drift can be calculated. Five or so fingerprints may also be useful for prediction IMU data drift, calculating time warping, or extrapolation purposes.
At 130, the radar map 84 is updated. The radar map 84 may need updating because it may be based on an incorrect set of data from the measurement unit 18. A comparison of the fingerprint with map allows the system to do absolute localization. “Relative localization” can be described by way of example to refer to adjusting the display of content relative to a wall that the user 12 is walking towards. “Absolute localization” can be described by way of example to refer to keeping a display of content on a table regardless even if the user would rotate their head from left to right, and/or when others can share in the experience with their own augmented reality devices.
By looking at consecutive sets of fingerprints, a unique 3D pose in a room can be obtained. The accuracy of the estimate quickly converges over time due to a high temporal frequency of the measurement unit 18 and the radar devices 30, 32 and 34. In
At 146, the pose estimate 130 may be used to adjust the radar Kalman filter 136. The adjustments that may be made at measurement unit filter 134 include position, velocity and attitude corrections.
At 148, a pose resulting from the pose estimate 142 and the visual map 86 may be combined to refine the estimate with the fingerprints against the visual map 86. The refinements result in a pose that may be more accurate than the pose estimate 142, due to the refinements provided by the visual map 86.
The measurements taken in
If a map is available, then the device 10 proceeds at 158 to load the map. The device 10 then proceeds to 160 to initiate relocalization. During relocalization, the device 10 uses a circular buffer of radar sensors and IMU fingerprints to determine coarse localization. The device 10 then further refines a starting position by using depth sensor input. At 162, the device 10 starts tracking its movement using IMU data.

As discussed above, a person may be wearing the augmented reality device 10 and, in order for the augmented reality content to be displayed correctly, the location of the augmented reality device 10 must be known. An IMU may provide good short term position estimation, but may suffer from drift problems over time. Radar data may be more accurate in the long term (but not in the short term), so is combined with IMU data to produce improved position data for both long and short term. The combined data is only accurate for determining relative location. The combined data can for example determine that the device is 3 feet away from a wall, but the device still does not know where in the world that wall or the user is. To provide accurate absolute position data of the device, a radar fingerprint may be created from the radar and IMU data and may be compared with data from an outward facing visual camera.

A laser driver chip 912 includes a data store 161 and its own processor 162. The data store 161 is used to store instruction and data structures that are specific to the operation of a laser source. The processor 162 retrieves the instructions from the data store and has access to the data structures to execute routines that drive the laser source so that the laser source generates laser light. The laser source forms part of a projector that receives data such as video data. A scanner forms part of the projector to allow the projector to display the laser light over a two-dimensional area, and in some instances in three-dimensional space with any patterns, color, saturation and other light qualities that are created by the projector being based on values in the video data.
Although a laser source and a laser driver chip 912 have been illustrated and discussed, it may be possible to use other display systems. Other display systems may for example include displays that make use of light-emitting diode (LED) technology, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology, superluminescent light-emitting diode (SLED), or the like.
