Patent number: 11503204Abstract: A method includes capturing an image using a content capture device with an initial image setting. The image includes a plurality of pixel groups, and a pixel group can have one or more pixels. A plurality of edge pixel groups is identified and then classified into two subsets. A first subset of saturated edge pixel groups includes edge pixel groups that have at least one neighboring pixel group with an image intensity exceeding a saturated intensity value. A second subset of non-saturated edge pixel groups includes edge pixel groups that have no neighboring pixel groups with an image intensity exceeding a saturated intensity value. An adjustment value to the image setting is determined based on a total number of saturated edge pixel groups and a total number of non-saturated edge pixel groups. An updated image is captured with an updated image setting based on the adjustment value.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Shih-Che Huang, Christian Ivan Robert Moore, Brian Keith Smith

Patent number: 11386629Abstract: An augmented reality viewing system is described. A local coordinate frame of local content is transformed to a world coordinate frame. A further transformation is made to a head coordinate frame and a further transformation is made to a camera coordinate frame that includes all pupil positions of an eye.

Publication number: 20220130120Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple types of devices to efficiently and accurately access previously stored maps and render virtual content specified in relation to those maps. The cross reality system may include a cloud-based localization service that responds to requests from devices to localize with respect to a stored map. Devices of any type, with native hardware and software configured for augmented reality operations may be configured to work with the cross reality system by incorporating components that interface between the native AR framework of the device and the cloud-based localization service. These components may present position information about the device in a format recognized by the localization service. Additionally, these components may filter or otherwise process perception data provided by the native AR framework to increase the accuracy of localization.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Xuan Zhao, Ali Shahrokni, Daniel Olshansky, Christian Ivan Robert Moore, Rafael Domingos Torres, Joel David Holder

Publication number: 20220092852Abstract: A cross reality system that provides an immersive user experience by storing persistent spatial information about the physical world that one or multiple user devices can access to determine position within the physical world and that applications can access to specify the position of virtual objects within the physical world. Persistent spatial information enables users to have a shared virtual, as well as physical, experience when interacting with the cross reality system. Further, persistent spatial information may be used in maps of the physical world, enabling one or multiple devices to access and localize into previously stored maps, reducing the need to map a physical space before using the cross reality system in it. Persistent spatial information may be stored as persistent coordinate frames, which may include a transformation relative to a reference orientation and information derived from images in a location corresponding to the persistent coordinate frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Anush Mohan, Rafael Domingos Torres, Daniel Olshansky, Samuel A.

Publication number: 20210256768Abstract: A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently access previously stored maps. Both stored maps and tracking maps used by portable devices may have any of multiple types of location metadata associated with them. The location metadata may be used to select a set of candidate maps for operations, such as localization or map merge, that involve finding a match between a location defined by location information from a portable device and any of a number of previously stored maps. The types of location metadata may prioritized for use in selecting the subset. To aid in selection of candidate maps, a universe of stored maps may be indexed based on geo-location information. A cross reality platform may update that index as it interacts with devices that supply geo-location information in connection with location information and may propagate that geo-location information to devices that do not supply it.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2021Publication date: August 19, 2021Applicant: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Xuan Zhao, Christian Ivan Robert Moore, Sen Lin, Ali Shahrokni, Ashwin Swaminathan
