Abstract: Mapping common features between images that commonly represent an environment using different light spectrum data is performed. A first image having first light spectrum data is accessed, and a second image having second light spectrum data is accessed. These images are fed as input to a DNN, which then identifies feature points that are common between the two images. A generated mapping lists the feature points and lists coordinates of the feature points from both of the images. Differences between the coordinates of the feature points in the two images are determined. Based on these differences, the second image is warped to cause the coordinates of the feature points in the second image to correspond to the coordinates of the feature points in the first image.

This makes it possible to reduce the overlapping of images formed when viewed from the user, avoid the generation of partial image omission, and improve visibility.

Abstract: A conventional head-mounted display (HMDs) can display a virtual image at a fixed focus (e.g., infinite focus). If the user looks at an object that appears closer than the virtual image, then accommodation by the user's eyes will cause the virtual image to appear blurry.

Changing the refractive index of the electro-active material causes the focus of the dynamic electro-active focusing element, making it possible to shift the virtual image's focus in as the user's eyes change focus.
