Abstract

Eyewear having unsynchronized rolling shutter (RS) cameras such that images produced by each camera are unaligned, and a state that includes velocity and gravity orientation in the eyewear's reference system is calculated. The state is not limited to these two parameters as other parameters such as the acceleration bias, the gyroscope bias, or both may be included. Math solvers are used such that processing time to calculate the velocity and gravity orientation are acceptable. Arranging the RS cameras in an unsynchronized configuration allows estimating the motion of the eyewear from just one stereo image pair and removes the requirement of possessing more images.
