  • Patent number: 11391952
    Abstract: In one implementation, a method involves obtaining light intensity data from a stream of pixel events output by an event camera of a head-mounted device (“HMD”). Each pixel event is generated in response to a pixel sensor of the event camera detecting a change in light intensity that exceeds a comparator threshold. A set of optical sources disposed on a secondary device that are visible to the event camera are identified by recognizing defined illumination parameters associated with the optical sources using the light intensity data. Location data is generated for the optical sources in an HMD reference frame using the light intensity data. A correspondence between the secondary device and the HMD is determined by mapping the location data in the HMD reference frame to respective known locations of the optical sources relative to the secondary device reference frame.

  • Patent number: 11321577
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to identifying an object in a field of view of a camera. In particular, it relates to identifying a display in the field of view of the camera. This is achieved by monitoring a space including acquiring a series of image frames of the space using the camera and detecting one or more light sources in the series of image frames. Further, one or more frequencies of periodic intensity or brightness variations, also referred to as ‘refresh rate’, of light emitted from the light sources is measured. Based on the one or more frequencies of periodic intensity variations of light emitted from the light sources, at least one display that includes the light sources is identified.
