Abstract: An information processing device includes an eyeball information acquisition section, a sightline estimation section, a display control section, a gesture information acquisition section, and a mode switching section. The eyeball information acquisition section acquires position and posture information of eyeballs of a user from a first sensor. The sightline estimation section estimates a sightline vector on the basis of the position and posture information of the eyeballs. The display control section controls a display device in such a manner that the display device displays a guide image for showing a gaze state based on the sightline vector. The gesture information acquisition section acquires gesture information, which is different from the position and posture information of the eyeballs, from a second sensor. The mode switching section switches between a first mode and a second mode according to mode switching input provided by the user with regard to the guide image, the first mode being a mode of reflecting the position and posture information of the eyeballs in the guide image, the second mode being a mode of correcting the gaze state on the basis of the gesture information.

Abstract: An artificial neural network receives data for the inputs of a perceptron in the artificial neural network. The network determines an average of the data for each of the inputs of the perceptron, determines a standard deviation of the average for each of the inputs of the perceptron, and determines an average of the standard deviations for the perceptron. The network then sets a learning rate for the perceptron equal to the average of the standard deviations, and trains the artificial neural network using the learning rate for the perceptron.

Filed: 2020-11-30
Abstract: A microlens array may be formed by nanoimprint lithography. Each microlens of the array comprises a plurality of concentric ridges extending from the substrate and separated by concentric grooves. A ratio F of a width of the concentric ridges to a pitch p of the concentric ridges is a function of a radial distance r from a microlens center to the concentric ridges. An effective refractive index n of microlenses depends on a fill ratio of a binary pattern, which depends on the radial distance from the microlens center. A method of manufacturing a microlens array includes forming an imprint resist layer on a substrate, and imprinting the imprint resist layer with a mold having an inversed microlens nanostructure.

Abstract: An optical measurement system may improve the accuracy with which it estimates distances to surrounding objects by upgrading various aspects of its data path. Spatial resolution may be increased by subdividing histogram buckets or integration registers based on spatial location. Saturation at any point in the data path can be detected and used to stop counting photons in individual pixels, which can then be normalized after a measurement is over. Multiple peaks can be detected using recursive or iterative techniques to identify a largest remaining peak at each stage. Instead of iterating through the histogram memory multiple times, a threshold can be pre-calculated based on an estimated ambient noise level, and peaks can be detected in a single pass.
