Abstract
The increasing popularity of the metaverse has led to a growing interest and market size in spatial computing from both academia and industry. Developing portable and accurate imaging and depth sensing systems is crucial for advancing next-generation virtual reality devices.
This work demonstrates an intelligent, lightweight, and compact edge-enhanced depth perception system that utilizes a binocular meta-lens for spatial computing. The miniaturized system comprises a binocular meta-lens, a 532 nm filter, and a CMOS sensor. For disparity computation, we propose a stereo-matching neural network with a novel H-Module.
The H-Module incorporates an attention mechanism into the Siamese network. The symmetric architecture, with cross-pixel interaction and cross-view interaction, enables a more comprehensive analysis of contextual information in stereo images. Based on spatial intensity discontinuity, the edge enhancement eliminates ill-posed regions in the image where ambiguous depth predictions may occur due to a lack of texture.
With the assistance of deep learning, our edge-enhanced system provides prompt responses in less than 0.15 seconds. This edge-enhanced depth perception meta-lens imaging system will significantly contribute to accurate 3D scene modeling, machine vision, autonomous driving, and robotics development.
