    Abstract: The subject technology provides embodiments for tracking a user's face/head (or another object) using one or more cameras provided by a computing device. Embodiments implement exposure sweeping based on an average intensity of a current scene to a target intensity for a given image. If a face is not detected, an exposure duration and/or gain may be adjusted and the face detection is performed again. Once the face is detected, an average intensity of a virtual bounding box surrounding the detected face is determined and exposure sweeping may be performed solely within the virtual bounding box to reach a target intensity. When the average intensity is within a predetermined threshold of the target intensity, the detected face may be at an optimal exposure. Embodiments also provide for switching to another camera(s) of the computing device when not detecting a face in the image upon performing a full exposure sweep.

    Abstract translation: 主题技术提供使用由计算设备提供的一个或多个照相机跟踪用户的脸部/头部(或另一个对象)的实施例。 实施例将基于当前场景的平均强度的曝光扫描实现为给定图像的目标强度。 如果未检测到脸部,则可以调整曝光持续时间和/或增益,并再次执行脸部检测。 一旦检测到脸部,确定围绕检测到的脸部的虚拟边界框的平均强度,并且可以仅在虚拟边界框内执行曝光扫描以达到目标强度。 当平均强度在目标强度的预定阈值内时,检测到的面可以处于最佳曝光。 实施例还提供在执行完全曝光扫描时在不检测图像中的面部时切换到计算设备的另一个相机。

    Abstract: An electronic device can have two or more pairs of cameras capable of performing three-dimensional imaging. In order to provide accurate disparity information, these cameras should be sufficiently calibrated. Automatic calibration can be performed by periodically capturing images with a pair of front-facing cameras and locating matching facial or other feature points in corresponding images captured by those cameras. Correspondences can be detected between feature points and the corresponding feature points can be normalized and outlier feature points can be rejected. A transformation matrix can be determined using at least a portion of remaining feature points and can be used to determine rotation and translation parameters to correct for misalignment between the cameras. The calibration parameters can be refined or otherwise adjusted, and can be used or stored for use in correcting images subsequently captured by those cameras.
