Abstract: A distributed, cross reality system efficiently and accurately compares location information that includes image frames. Each of the frames may be represented as a numeric descriptor that enables identification of frames with similar content. The resolution of the descriptors may vary for different computing devices in the distributed system based on degree of ambiguity in image comparisons and/or computing resources for the device. A descriptor computed for a cloud-based component operating on maps of large areas that can result in ambiguous identification of multiple image frames may use high resolution descriptors. High resolution descriptors reduce computationally intensive disambiguation processing. A portable device, which is more likely to operate on smaller maps and less likely to have the computational resources to compute a high resolution descriptor, may use a lower resolution descriptor.

Such a 3D conversation can take place between two or more sender/receiving systems and, in some implementations can be mediated by one or more server systems. In various configurations, stages of the pipeline can be customized based on a conversation context.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes approaches to camera re-localization that improve the speed and accuracy with which pose estimates are generated by fusing output of a computer vision algorithm with data from a prior model of a geographic area in which a user is located. For each candidate pose estimate output by the algorithm, a game server maps the estimate to a position on the prior model (e.g., a specific cell on a heatmap-style histogram) and retrieves a probability corresponding to the mapped position. A data fusion module fuses, for each candidate pose estimate, a confidence score generated by the computer vision algorithm with the location probability from the prior model to generate an updated confidence score. If an updated confidence score meets or exceeds a score threshold, a re-localization module initiates a location-based application (e.g., a parallel reality game) based on the associated candidate pose estimate.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for estimating a 3D bounding box (3DBB) from a 2D bounding box (2DBB). Conventional techniques to estimate 3DBB from 2DBB rely upon classifying target vehicles within the 2DBB.

To address such issues, it is proposed to estimate the 3DBB without relying upon classifying the target vehicle.
