    Abstract: A system to perform stereo stitching of image frames comprises a stereo camera system and a hardware encoder. The hardware encoder receives a left image stream and a right image stream from the stereo camera system simultaneously and processes the left and right image stream to generate a single stitched encoded frame. The apparatus can also comprise a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising receiving the left image stream and the right image stream, processing the left and right image streams and generating a single stitched encoded frame.

    Abstract: Eyewear having an image signal processor (ISP) dynamically operable in a camera pipeline for augmented reality (AR) and computer vision (CV) systems. Multi-purpose cameras are used for simultaneous image capture and CV on wearable AR devices. The cameras are coupled to a frame and configured to generate images, wherein the cameras and the ISP are configured to operate in a first AR mode and capture images having a first resolution suitable for use in AR, and are configured to operate in a second CV mode to provide the images having a second resolution suitable for use in CV. The first resolution in the AR mode is higher than the second resolution in the CV mode, and the cameras and the ISP consume less power in the second CV mode than the first AR mode. The cameras and the ISP save significant system power by operating in the low power mode CV mode.
