Abstract:
A method for displaying preview images is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes: receiving first images captured by a first camera having a first field-of-view (FOV), receiving second images captured by a second camera having a second FOV that is different than the first FOV, and displaying preview images generated based on the first and second images. The method may further include determining a spatial transform based on depth information associated with individual pixels in the first and second images, and upon receiving instructions to zoom in or out beyond a camera switching threshold, modifying the second image using the spatial transform and displaying the first image and the modified second image consecutively.
