    Abstract: Methods are provided to determine a quality score for depth map. The quality score is calculated from metrics that detect artifacts or other inaccuracies in the depth map such as flat patches, artifactual edges, and patchy regions. A flatness metric detects regions of neighboring pixels that have substantially the same depth value. A jaggedness metric detects hard edges or other discontinuities. A patchiness metric detects regions that are wholly enclosed by an edge and that have sub-threshold areas. The individual metrics are normalized and combined to determine an overall quality score for the depth map. The quality score can then be compared to one or more thresholds to determine a quality label for the depth map. Such a quality label can then be used to unlock a device, to invalidate an unlock attempt, to recalibrate a depth sensor, or to perform some other operations.
