Abstract
A Mixed-Reality (MR) device for augmenting human vision in limited-visibility environments (e.g., due to smoke) is provided. The MR device comprises a visible-range sensor for capturing a visible-range representation of a real-world scene surrounding the MR device with a range commensurate with human vision, an extended-range sensor for capturing an extended-range representation of the real-world scene with an extended range wider than the range commensurate with human vision, a display, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry causes the MR device to be operative to generate a visible-range representation of edges of one or more physical objects () present in the real-world scene by extracting edges from the visible-range representation captured by the visible-range sensor, generate an extended-range representation of edges of the one or more physical objects () by extracting edges from the extended-range representation captured by the extended-range sensor, generate a delta representation of edges of the one or more physical objects (), comprising edges present in the extended-range representation of edges but absent in the visible-range representation of edges (illustrated with thick lines in FIG.D), and display the delta representation of edges on the display.
