Fusing measurements from sensors of multiple devices into a single coordinate space

Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide for a technique to enable sensor data gathered by multiple electronic devices, such as smart home devices, to be fused into a single coordinate space to enable a higher sensor resolution at each device. For example, multiple sensor equipped devices may communicate over a network to share sensor data between devices. Each device can combine local sensor data with remote sensor data received from other devices to increase the angular resolution of the detected sensor data. To enable this combination, motion characteristics of commonly detected objects can be used to enable the devices to determine a set of relative positions. Coordinate space transformations can then be computed based on the relative positions. Sensor data can be fused using the determined coordinate space transformations.
