Abstract

A method for aligning coordinate systems from separate augmented reality (AR) devices is described. In one aspect, the method includes generating predicted depths of a first point cloud by applying a pre-trained model to a first single image generated by a first monocular camera of a first augmented reality (AR) device, and first sparse 3D points generated by a first SLAM system at the first AR device, generating predicted depths of a second point cloud by applying the pre-trained model to a second single image generated by a second monocular camera of the second AR device, and second sparse 3D points generated by a second SLAM system at the second AR device, determining a relative pose between the first AR device and the second AR device by registering the first point cloud with the second point cloud.
