Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for using head mounted display (HMD) hinge motion to calibrate the head mounted device. For example, an device (or component of the device) can obtain, via one or more sensors, sensor measurements during rotation of a display of the HMD between a first end of a range of motion of a hinge of the display about an axis and a second end of the range of motion of the hinge about the axis; determine parameters of the HMD based on the sensor measurements and the rotation of the display between the first end of the range of motion of the hinge and the second end of the range of motion of the hinge about the axis; and determine pose information for the HMD based on the determined parameters.

Abstract: Imaging systems and techniques are described. A system receives an image of an environment captured using an image sensor according to an image capture setting, and receives motion data captured using a motion sensor. The system determines a weight associated with at least one of a plurality of features of the environment in the image based on an estimated motion blur level for the at least one of the features of the environment in the image. The estimated motion blur level is based on the motion data and the image capture setting. The system tracks the features of the environment across a plurality of images (that includes the received image) according to respective weights (that include the determined weight) for the features of the environment across the plurality of images. The system can use the tracked features for mapping the environment and/or determining the pose of the system.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media to capture images with subjects at different depths. A method of processing image data includes obtaining, at an imaging device, a first image of an environment from an image sensor of the imaging device; determining a region of interest of the first image based on features depicted in the first image, wherein the features are associated with the environment; determining a representative luma value associated with the first image based on image data in the region of interest of the first image; determining one or more exposure control parameters based on the representative luma value; and obtaining, at the imaging device, a second image captured based on the one or more exposure control parameters.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for determining and applying corrected poses in digital content experiences. An example method can include receiving, from one or more sensors associated with an apparatus, inertial measurements and one or more frames of a scene; based on the one or more frames and the inertial measurements, determining, via a first filter, an angular and linear motion of the apparatus and a gravity vector indicating a direction of gravitational force interacting with the apparatus; when a motion of the apparatus is below a threshold, determining, via a second filter, an updated gravity vector indicating a direction of gravitational force interacting with the apparatus; determining, based on the updated gravity vector, parameters for aligning an axis of the scene with a gravity direction in a real-world spatial frame; and aligning, using the parameters, the axis of the scene with the gravity direction in the real-world spatial frame.
