Abstract
A method includes obtaining multiple see-through image frames of an environment around an augmented reality (AR) device using multiple imaging sensors of the AR device. The method also includes generating a depth map based on the see-through image frames and generating a three-dimensional (3D) representation of the environment based on the depth map. The method further includes projecting the 3D representation onto a curved surface, mapping points of the projected 3D representation to multiple virtual view images, and presenting the virtual view images on one or more displays of the AR device. Generating the depth map may include generating an initial depth map using a trained machine learning model and modifying the initial depth map to provide both spatial consistency and temporal consistency in order to generate a refined depth map. The curved surface may include a portion of a cylindrical, spherical, or conical surface.
