Publication number: 20240028117Abstract: Eye and hand tracking systems in head-mounted display (HMD) devices are arranged with lensless camera systems using optical masks as encoding elements that apply convolutions to optical images of body parts (e.g., eyes or hands) of HMD device users. The convolved body images are scrambled or coded representations that are captured by a sensor in the system, but are not human-recognizable. A machine learning system such as a neural network is configured to extract body features directly from the coded representation without performance of deconvolutions conventionally utilized to reconstruct the original body images in human-recognizable form. The extracted body features are utilized by the respective eye or hand tracking systems to output relevant tracking data for the user's eyes or hands which may be utilized by the HMD device to support various applications and user experiences. The lensless camera and machine learning system are jointly optimizable on an end-to-end basis.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Curtis Alan TESDAHL, Benjamin Eliot LUNDELL, David ROHN, Dmitry RESHIDKO, Dmitriy CHURIN, Kevin James MATHERSON, Sayyed Jaffar Ali RAZA

Publication number: 20230362157Abstract: Facilitating secure and updated user profile information within a distributed network for facial recognition-based access control systems is disclosed. A user's signature (e.g., facial profile data) is routinely and consistently updated across the access control platform. A remote computing system maintains timely and accurate signature data between user devices and access control devices such that each device benefits from the most updated user information, facial recognition models, and spoof detection models. A user may enroll or disenroll in the access control platform via his or her own mobile device, a cloud-based server, and/or the access control device. The enrollment or disenrollment data may be automatically synchronized and updated throughout the platform. These and other benefits may improve the ease with which users and access controllers (e.g., building owners, landlords, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Swiftlane, Inc.Inventors: Saurabh Bajaj, Ali Raza, Nagesh Bhad
