Distributed sensing for augmented reality headsets

A computer-implemented method for implementing distributed imaging for augmented reality device, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by a first sensing device of a plurality of spatially distributed sensing devices integrated in a frame of Augmented Reality glasses, a sequence of first images, each first image comprising a first field of view;
• acquiring, by one or more second sensing devices of the plurality of spatially distributed sensing devices, one or more second images, each second image respectively comprising a respective second field of view, wherein the respective second field of view of each second image is smaller than the first field of view;
• processing, by one or more computing devices in communication with the plurality of spatially distributed sensing devices and based on performing a local feature matching computation, one or more input images acquired by the first sensing device and one or more of the second sensing devices to generate a first output image;
• processing, by one or more of the computing devices and based on performing an optical flow correspondence computation, the one or more input images to generate a second output image set comprising one or more second output images;
• and
• computationally combining, by one or more of the computing devices, the first output image and the second output image set to generate a third output image having a resolution higher than a corresponding first image acquired by the first sensing device.
