Abstract: Augmented Reality(AR) has become one of the top technological trends in the next decade. While most industry players focus on the AR headset hardware design and Apps development for gaming and infotainment, the application of Enterprise AR is still in the early stage. Many important aspects have not been systematically explored, such as seamless merging of digital objects with the reality to produce new environment and visualization for operational efficiency improvement, construction of a dense 3-dimensional mapping for the surroundings around the device, and accurate measurement of the real objects dimensions, etc.
In this proposal, we aim to develop a highly customized and optimized embedded vision platform for addressing the above-mentioned challenges; moreover, it helps enable advanced AR as well as smart industrial applications. We will leverage on heterogeneous computing and 3D imaging technologies for developing technical features; including simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm for embedded system, dense 3D mapping for Enterprise AR and robot applications, as well as depth and visual sensor fusion for smart industrial applications, etc.
