    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.

    Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology relate to generative scene networks (GSNs) that are able to generate realistic scenes that can be rendered from a free moving camera at any location and orientation. A GSN may be implemented using a global generator and a locally conditioned radiance field. GSNs may employ a spatial latent representation as conditioning for a grid of locally conditioned radiance fields, and may be trained using an adversarial learning framework. Inverting a GSN may allow free navigation of a generated scene conditioned on one or more observations.

    Abstract: A facial recognition authentication process may utilize images of a user's face that are captured while the user is being illuminated using both flood infrared illumination and patterned illumination (e.g., speckle pattern illumination). As the user's face is illuminated by both flood infrared illumination and patterned illumination, the captured images may include both flood infrared illumination data and depth map image data. Flood infrared illumination data may be generated from the images to assess two-dimensional features of the user in the captured images. Depth map image data may be generated from the pattern data in the images to assess three-dimensional (depth) features of the user in the captured images. The flood infrared illumination data and the depth map image data may be used separately by facial recognition authentication process to attempt to authenticate the user in the captured images as an authorized user of the device.

    Abstract: Techniques for coding sets of images with neural networks include transforming a first image of a set of images into coefficients with an encoder neural network, encoding a group of the coefficients as an integer patch index into coding table of table entries each having vectors of coefficients, and storing a collection of patch indices as a first coded image. The encoder neural network may be configured with encoder weights determined by jointly with corresponding decoder weights of a decoder neural network on the set of images.

    Abstract: Feature descriptor matching is reformulated into a graph-matching problem. Keypoints from a query image and a reference image are initially matched and filtered based on the match. For a given keypoint, a feature graph is constructed based on neighboring keypoints surrounding the given keypoint. The feature graph is compared to a corresponding feature graph of a reference image for the matched keypoint. Relocalization data is obtained based on the comparison.
