    Abstract: In a method for operating a fingerprint sensor including a plurality of ultrasonic transducers, receiving a plurality of images corresponding to different subsets of the ultrasonic transducers of the fingerprint sensor are received, wherein the plurality of images are non-adjacent. For each image of the plurality of images, it is determined whether the image of the plurality of images is indicative of a fingerprint. Provided a number of images of the plurality of images that are indicative of a fingerprint satisfies a threshold, it is determined whether the images of the plurality of images that are indicative of a fingerprint are collectively indicative of a fingerprint. Provided the plurality of images are collectively indicative of a fingerprint, it is determined that the plurality of images include a fingerprint.

    Abstract: In a method for darkfield tracking at a sensor, it is determined whether an object is interacting with the sensor. Provided an object is not interacting with the sensor, a determination that a darkfield candidate image can be captured at the sensor is made. It is determined whether to capture a darkfield candidate image at the sensor based at least in part on the determination that a darkfield candidate image can be captured at the sensor. Responsive to making a determination to capture the darkfield candidate image, the darkfield candidate image is captured at the sensor, wherein the darkfield candidate image is an image absent an object interacting with the sensor. A darkfield estimate is updated with the darkfield candidate image.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for determining a relative position of different portions of a hinged device. Motion sensor data from sensor assemblies of each portion is fused to relate the device portions to a world frame. An angular orientation between the device portions is determined with respect to the hinge axis and accumulating sensor measurement errors are compensated by constraining determined axes of the sensor assemblies using the motion sensor data and known relationships between physical axes of the sensor assemblies and the mechanical hinge, such that the determined axes of the sensor assemblies are aligned along the hinge axis.

    Abstract: In a method of segmented image acquisition at a sensor, a plurality of segments of an image are concurrently captured, wherein pixels of each segment of the plurality of segments are captured according to a pixel capture sequence. The pixel capture sequence for at least one segment of the plurality of segments is a non-progressive sequence for controlling a timing difference between pixel capture for proximate pixels of adjacent segments. The image including the plurality of segments is generated.

    Abstract: In a method for modeling a darkfield candidate image at a sensor, a plurality of darkfield images of the sensor is captured, wherein each darkfield image of the plurality of darkfield images is associated with a different operational condition of the sensor. An operational condition of the sensor is determined. A darkfield candidate image comprising a combination of the plurality of darkfield images is modeled based at least in part on the operational condition of the sensor, wherein a contribution of each darkfield image of the plurality of darkfield images is dependent on the operational condition.
