  • Publication number: 20220412720
    Abstract: Method for simultaneously compensating pupil coordinate distortion and shear amount change in a process of wavefront reconstruction in grating transverse shear interference. Where a wavefront is diffracted by a grating, the shapes and light paths of the diffracted wavefronts of all the orders are different, so that on one hand, a coordinate system detected by a detector plane is distorted relative to a pupil coordinate system, and on the other hand, a shear amount changes along with a coordinate position.

  • Patent number: 11367305
    Abstract: A facial recognition process operating on a device may include one or more processes that determine if a camera and/or components associated with the camera are obstructed by an object (e.g., a user's hand or fingers). Obstruction of the device may be assessed using flood infrared illumination images when a user's face is not able to be detected by a face detection process operating on the device. Obstruction of the device may also be assessed using a pattern detection process that operates after the user's face is detected by the face detection process. When obstruction of the device is detected, the device may provide a notification to the user that the device (e.g., the camera and/or an illuminator) is obstructed and that the obstruction should be removed for the facial recognition process to operate correctly.

    Abstract: A facial recognition authentication process operating on a device may capture an image of a user using a camera on the device. The facial recognition authentication process may include operating a full face facial recognition authentication process on the captured image or operating a partial face facial recognition authentication process on the captured image. The process may determine which process to operate (either full face or partial face) based on an assessment of an amount of occlusion in the captured image. The partial face facial recognition authentication process may be operated when there is at least some occlusion of selected features (e.g., nose and/or mouth) on the user's face in the captured image.
