  • Publication number: 20240126589
    Abstract: For hash token selection a cumulative balance placement algorithm may take a list of new nodes to be added and allocate new virtual nodes to a token range to ensure that when adding M new nodes, the distance between two virtual nodes for the same new node will be at least M?1 virtual nodes. This node balancing improves the operation of the system as a whole by more efficient utilization of each node.

  • Publication number: 20240104967
    Abstract: A personalized eye model is used to generate synthetic gaze features at ground-truth eye poses Gg. Corresponding synthetic gaze poses Gs are estimated from the synthetic gaze features using an average eye model. A linear regression is applied between Gg and Gs to generate a gaze correction function. The gaze correction function represents differences between the synthetic gaze Gs of the subject eye at the display and that of the average eye model Gg at the display, but does not contain security- or privacy-sensitive information. Further, the personalized eye model cannot be recovered from the gaze correction function, and thus the gaze correction function can be stored unencrypted and available for use during a cold boot of a device prior to login. On a cold boot of the device, the gaze correction function may be accessed and used with an average eye model to improve gaze-based interactions.

  • Publication number: 20240104958
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing eye model matching in a device are disclosed. When a user activates a device and the presence of the user's eye is detected, an image of the user's eye is captured. An eye model matching process is then implemented to determine a stored eye model (e.g., an eye model stored after enrollment of the eye on the device) that best matches the eye in the captured image. Determination of the best matching eye model may be based on matching between properties of the user's eye in the captured image (such as cornea and pupil features) and properties of the user's eye determined by the eye model. The best matching eye model may then be implemented in, for example, an eye gaze tracking process. In certain instances, the best matching eye model satisfies a threshold for matching before being implemented in the downstream process.

  • Publication number: 20240104889
    Abstract: A system for detecting a proximate object includes one or more cameras and one or more illuminators. The proximate object is detected by obtaining image data captured by the one or more cameras, where the image data is captured when at least one of the one or more illuminators are illuminated, determining brightness statistics from the image data, and determining whether the brightness statistics satisfies a predetermined threshold. The proximate object is determined to be detected in accordance with a determination that the brightness statistics satisfies the predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230377194
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include an inconspicuous eye enrollment for user devices through the simultaneous or near-simultaneous eye characteristic tracking and eye model updating. The implementations disclosed herein direct light towards an eye of a user to produce glint reflections and obtain, via one or more sensors, image frames comprising depictions of the glint reflections. Based on those image frames, the implementations disclosed herein track eye characteristics and update an eye model of the eye during a period of time between obtaining a first image frame of the image frames and obtaining a second image frame of the image frames.

  • Publication number: 20230315201
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for stray light mitigation in optical systems that include two or more illumination sources (e.g., point light sources such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs)) that illuminate an object to be imaged, and a camera configured to capture images of light from the point light sources reflected by the object when illuminated. To mitigate “occlusions” or artifacts caused by, for example, stray light or reflections of the illumination sources off of other components of the system, multiple images of the object are captured with different groups of the illumination sources enabled. The captured images can then be processed and merged to generate an output image with the occlusions or artifacts caused by stray light or reflections mitigated or eliminated.

  • Patent number: 11710350
    Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure involve, at a device having one or more processors, one or more image sensors, and an illumination source, detecting a first attribute of an eye based on pixel differences associated with different wavelengths of light in a first image of the eye. These implementations next determine a first location associated with the first attribute in a three dimensional (3D) coordinate system based on depth information from a depth sensor. Various implementations detect a second attribute of the eye based on a glint resulting from light of the illumination source reflecting off a cornea of the eye. These implementations next determine a second location associated with the second attribute in the 3D coordinate system based on the depth information from the depth sensor, and determine a gaze direction in the 3D coordinate system based on the first location and the second location.
