Abstract: Embodiments are directed to perceiving scene features using event sensors and image sensors. Paths may be scanned across objects in a scene with one or more beams. Images of the scene may be captured with frame cameras. Events may be generated based on detection of beam reflections that correspond to the objects. Trajectories may be based on the paths and the events. A distribution of intensity associated with the trajectories may be determined based on the energy associated with the traces in the images. Centroids for the trajectories may be determined based on the distribution of the intensity of energy, a resolution of the frame cameras, or timestamps associated with the events. Enhanced trajectories may be generated based on the centroids such that the enhanced trajectories may be provided to a modeling engine that executes actions based on the enhanced trajectories and the objects.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a sensing system that employs beams to scan paths across an object such that sensors may the beams reflected by the scanned object. Events may be provided based on the detected signals and the paths such that each event may be associated with a sensor and event metrics. Crossing points for each sensor may be determined based on where the paths intersect the scanned object such that events associated with each sensor are associated with the crossing points for each sensor. Each crossing point of each sensor may be compared to each correspondent crossing point of each other sensor. actual crossing points may be determined based on the comparison and the crossing points for each sensor. Position information for each sensor may be determined based on the actual crossing points.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed providing auxiliary devices for augmented reality. Images or video of a scene may be captured with frame cameras included in a mobile computer. A plurality of paths may be scanned across objects in the scene with beams provided by scanning devices that may be separate from the mobile computer. A plurality of events may be determined based on detection of beam reflections corresponding to the objects such that the beam reflections may be detected the scanning devices. A plurality of trajectories may be determined based on the plurality of paths and the plurality of events such that each trajectory may be a parametric representation of a one-dimensional curve segment in a three-dimensional space. The images or video of the scene may be augmented based on the plurality of trajectories.
