    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable autocalibration for multiple cameras using near-infrared (NIR) illuminators. The techniques and systems include a user device that uses NIR images, including dot images and flood images, captured by the multiple cameras. The user device implements an autocalibration module that normalizes the contrast of each image. Then, the autocalibration module detects dot features in the dot images and detects flood features in the flood images. The autocalibration module uses the flood features to disambiguate the dot features in the dot images. Then, the autocalibration module uses the disambiguated dot features to determine new calibration parameters for recalibration of the multiple cameras. In some aspects, the autocalibration module uses the dot images, rather than the flood images, to detect the flood features for disambiguating the dot features.

    Abstract: An electronic device estimates a pose of a face by fitting a generative face model mesh to a depth map based on vertices of the face model mesh that are estimated to be visible from the point of view of a depth camera. A face tracking module of the electronic device receives a depth image of a face from a depth camera and generates a depth map of the face based on the depth image. The face tracking module identifies a pose of the face by fitting a face model mesh to the pixels of a depth map that correspond to the vertices of the face model mesh that are estimated to be visible from the point of view of the depth camera.
