Abstract
A wearable device may compress the skin of a user when worn, which may affect values determined using sensors of the device. To determine the effect of skin compression on the values, a time-of-flight signal, images, or frames of video data that depict a portion of the body having indentations from wearing the device may be acquired. Characteristics of the images, such as shadows associated with the indentations, may be processed using a machine learning algorithm or mathematical function to determine a depth of various portions of the indentations. Depth data from the time of flight signal may be used to refine or modify these determined depths. The amount of skin compression associated with the indentations may be used to modify signals acquired using sensors, or output a recommendation for a band or other method for securing the device.
