1. A method comprising:
- under control of a head-mounted device (HMD) comprising a hardware processor, a computer processor, a display system configured to render a virtual object, and an inward-facing imaging system configured to image a periocular region of a user'"'"'s face;
receiving an image from the inward-facing imaging system;
analyzing the image to identify periocular features of the user by an object recognizer;
performing a first calculation to determine a first measurement of the relative position between the HMD and a head of the user based at least partly on the periocular features;
performing a second calculation different from the first calculation to determine a second measurement of the relative position between the HMD and the head of the user based at least partly on the periocular features, wherein performing the first calculation or performing the second calculation comprises;
receiving a first image and a second image from the inward-facing imaging system, wherein the first image and the second image are acquired in sequence;
analyzing the first image and the second image to identify periocular features specific to the user'"'"'s periocular region in the first image and the second image;
determining whether the periocular region is in the first image or the second image based at least partly on the periocular features;
determining the first measurement or the second measurement of the relative position based at least partly on the appearance of the periocular features in the first and the second image;
determining a relative position between the HMD and the head of the user based on the first and second measurements;
determining a degree of fit by comparing the relative position with a threshold condition; and
causing the HMD to perform at least one of the following;
adjusting a display of the HMD to compensate for the relative position, orproviding an indication associated with the degree of fit to the user;
in response to a determination that the periocular region is in neither the first image nor the second image, providing an indication that the HMD has been removed from the head of the user; and
in response to a determination that the periocular region is in either the first image or the second image, indicating a change of a state for the HMD.

Abstract
A wearable device can include an inward-facing imaging system configured to acquire images of a user'"'"'s periocular region. The wearable device can determine a relative position between the wearable device and the user'"'"'s face based on the images acquired by the inward-facing imaging system. The relative position may be used to determine whether the user is wearing the wearable device, whether the wearable device fits the user, or whether an adjustment to a rendering location of virtual object should be made to compensate for a deviation of the wearable device from its normal resting position.

6. A head-mounted device (HMD) comprising:
-
an inward-facing imaging system configured to image a periocular region of a user'"'"'s face, wherein the inward-facing imaging system is configured to acquire at least a first image of the periocular region and is further configured to mask a portion of the periocular region captured in the first image; and a hardware processor programmed to; receive an image from the inward-facing imaging system; analyze the image to identify periocular features of the user by an object recognizer; perform a first calculation to determine a first measurement of the relative position between the HMD and a head of the user based at least partly on the periocular features; perform a second calculation different from the first calculation to determine a second measurement of the relative position between the HMD and the head of the user based at least partly on the periocular features, wherein to perform the first calculation or performing the second calculation, the hardware processor is programmed to; receive a first image and a second image from the inward-facing imaging system, wherein the first image and the second image are acquired in sequence; analyze the first image and the second image to identify periocular features specific to the user'"'"'s periocular region in the first image and the second image; determine whether the periocular region is in the first image or the second image based at least partly on the periocular features; determine the first measurement or the second measurement of the relative position based at least partly on the appearance of the periocular features in the first and the second image; determine a relative position between the HMD and the head of the user based at least partly on the periocular features based on the first and second measurements; and determine a degree of fit by comparing the relative position with a threshold condition; in response to a determination that the periocular region is in neither the first image nor the second image, provide an indication that the HMD has been removed from the head of the user; and in response to a determination that the periocular region is in either the first image or the second image, indicate a change of a state for the HMD. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
