Abstract: A system for determining and correcting a calculated orientation of a computing device based on data from an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The system utilizes a modified Kalman filter that updates covariance to reduce decay over time based on a residual of the filter. Gyroscope bias is tracked and offset based on the updated covariance and the residual. The residual is based on an observational orientation determined from an angle between a measured acceleration vector and an expected acceleration vector, rotating a predicted frame based on the angle.

Abstract: A system for determining and correcting a calculated orientation of a computing device based on data from an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The system compares a predicted direction of gravity in a predicted frame of the device with a measured direction of gravity in a sensor frame of the device, and determines an angle of the difference between the directions. A correction is calculated to rotate the predicted frame around an axis by the angle relative to a sensor frame, the axis being perpendicular to both the predicted and measured directions of gravity. A predicted orientation of a reference “Earth” frame relative to the predicted frame is calculated based on the gyroscope data. A corrected orientation is determined by applying the correction to the predicted orientation, providing an orientation of the Earth reference frame relative to the sensor frame.

Abstract: A field of view (FOV) extender may include prisms that direct light from an angle outside of an angle of view associated with a lens of camera, onto the image sensor of the camera, thereby piecewise extending the field of view of the camera beyond the unaltered angle of view of the camera. The prisms may be oriented to direct light around an outer region of the image sensor, which may generate signals use for motion detection purposes. Each prism may be spaced apart from an adjacent prism by a gap, which may create an alternating sequence of prisms and gaps. An inner region of the image sensor may capture imagery that may be suitable for output to a user.
