Mobile and augmented reality based depth and thermal fusion scan

Abstract

Systems and methods are described for mobile and augmented reality-based depth and thermal fusion scan imaging. Some embodiments of the present technology use sophisticated techniques to fuse information from both thermal and depth imaging channels together to achieve synergistic effects for object recognition and personal identification. Hence, the techniques used in various embodiments provide a much better solution for, say, first responders, disaster relief agents, search and rescue, and law enforcement officials to gather more detailed forensic data. Some embodiments provide a series of unique features including small size, wearable devices, and ability to feed fused depth and thermal streams into AR glasses. In addition, some embodiments use a two-layer architecture for performing device local fusion and cloud-based platform for integration of data from multiple devices and cross-scene analysis and reconstruction.
