    Abstract: Imaging methods and imagers for image capture devices. Still images are captured by gathering ambient light data using an ambient light sensor of the image capture device, selecting a frame rate for the imager corresponding to the gathered ambient light data, determining optimal image capture parameters for the imager by executing an auto exposure algorithm with a processor using the selected frame rate as an initialization parameter for the auto exposure algorithm, and capturing a still image with the imager after execution of the auto exposure algorithm using the selected frame rate.

    Abstract: A method for limiting motion blur in a visual tracking system is described. In one aspect, the method includes accessing a first image generated by an optical sensor of the visual tracking system, identifying camera operating parameters of the optical sensor for the first image, determining a motion of the optical sensor for the first image, determining a motion blur level of the first image based on the camera operating parameters of the optical sensor and the motion of the optical sensor, and adjusting the camera operating parameters of the optical sensor based on the motion blur level.

    Abstract: An eyewear device having an image processor operable in a camera pipeline for computer vision (CV) and in augmented reality (AR) systems. The image processor is configured to selectively control a plurality of cameras to provide images having a first resolution in the high power AR mode, and to provide the images having a second resolution in the low power CV mode. The first resolution is higher than the second resolution, and the plurality of cameras consume less power in the CV mode than the AR mode. The image processor controls the camera pipeline to process the first resolution high IQ images from the plurality of cameras to operate in the AR mode, and controls the camera pipeline to process the second resolution lower IQ images from the plurality of cameras to operate in the CV mode. Substantial power is saved by reducing the resolution of the images using downscaling in the cameras themselves in the CV mode.

    Abstract: The present application discloses various systems, methods and non-transitory computer-readable mediums that include a first device and a second device to perform processing on a digital image. According to one example, a second one or more edits made using the second device are user subjective and a first one or more edits made using the first device are user agnostic. The second one or more edits are reliant on the first one or more edits for processing flexibility to achieve a desired image attribute.
