Abstract: An image sensor compresses image data prior to transmitting the image data to a DSP. The image sensor captures light representing an image, for instance via a camera's aperture. A focal plane array converts the captured light into pixel data. The pixel data is sorted into categories, and is compressed in parallel by a compression engine. The compressed pixel data is then sent to a DSP, which may be located off-chip. The DSP then decompresses the compressed pixel data, performs image signal processing operations on the compressed pixel data, and then compresses the processed pixel data into a digital image format. The image sensor may buffer the pixel data for one or more images to accommodate for slowdown by the compression engine. The pixel data may be sorted by row and column of a pixel array. Alternatively, the pixel data may be sorted by color from a Bayer color filter.
Abstract translation: 图像传感器在将图像数据发送到DSP之前压缩图像数据。 图像传感器例如通过相机的光圈捕获表示图像的光。 焦平面阵列将捕获的光转换成像素数据。 像素数据被分类并被压缩引擎并行压缩。 压缩的像素数据然后被发送到可以位于芯片外的DSP。 然后，DSP解压缩压缩像素数据，对压缩像素数据执行图像信号处理操作，然后将经处理的像素数据压缩为数字图像格式。 图像传感器可以缓冲一个或多个图像的像素数据，以适应压缩引擎的减速。 像素数据可以按像素阵列的行和列排序。 或者，像素数据可以由拜耳滤色器的颜色分类。

Abstract: An integrated image sensor and lens assembly is disclosed that includes an image sensor assembly defining an optical axis; a lens holder; and a lens barrel. The lens holder is coupled to the image sensor assembly and includes a tubular body portion terminating in a tapered surface that extends at an angle to the optical axis. The lens barrel is coupled to the lens holder by an adhesive that is applied between the lens holder and the lens barrel such that the adhesive extends in non-perpendicular relation to the optical axis.

Abstract: An image capture device having multiple image sensors having overlapping fields of view that aligns the image sensors based on images captured by image sensors. A pixel shift is identified between the images. Based on the identified pixel shift, a calibration is applied to one or more of the image sensors. To determine the pixel shift, a processor applies correlation methods including edge matching. Calibrating the image sensors may include adjusting a read window on an image sensor. The pixel shift can also be used to determine a time lag, which can be used to synchronize subsequent image captures.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that capture and compress frames of pixel data. In an implementation, an image sensor chip is configured to convert light into pixel data and generate compressed pixel data at a variable compression rate including applying a transform to pixel data associated with a pixel category from a plurality of pixel categories. The variable compression rate is within an available bandwidth of an output bus configured to output the compressed pixel data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that capture and process frames of frame data. An image sensor captures frames of frame data representative of light incident upon the image sensor using a rolling shutter and outputs the frames of frame data. The image sensor captures at least one of the frames over a frame capture interval and then waits over a blanking interval before capturing another frame. A buffer receives and stores the frames output by the image sensor. An image signal processor retrieves the frames from the buffer and processes the frames over successive frame processing intervals to generate a video having a time interval per frame greater than the frame capture interval. At least one of the successive frame processing intervals is greater than the frame capture interval and is less than or equal to a sum of the frame capture interval and the blanking interval.

Abstract: A camera system captures an image in a source aspect ratio and applies a transformation to the input image to scale and warp the input image to generate an output image having a target aspect ratio different than the source aspect ratio. The output image has the same field of view as the input image, maintains image resolution, and limits distortion to levels that do not substantially affect the viewing experience. In one embodiment, the output image is non-linearly warped relative to the input image such that a distortion in the output image relative to the input image is greater in a corner region of the output image than a center region of the output image.

Abstract: An underwater housing includes a mounting plate, a first dome attached to a first surface of the mounting plate, and a second dome attached to a second surface of the mounting plate in a back-to-back configuration. A camera mount for a dual-lens camera is oriented at a tilt angle relative to a plane of a mounting plate. The dual-lens camera has laterally offset back-to-back lenses. The tilt angle is set such that the optical axes of the dual-lens camera intersect the center points of the respective domes.

Abstract: A spherical content capture system captures spherical video and audio content. In one embodiment, captured metadata or video/audio processing is used to identify content relevant to a particular user based on time and location information. The platform can then generate an output video from one or more shared spherical content files relevant to the user. The output video may include a non-spherical reduced field of view such as those commonly associated with conventional camera systems. Particularly, relevant sub-frames having a reduced field of view may be extracted from each frame of spherical video to generate an output video that tracks a particular individual or object of interest. For each sub-frame, a corresponding portion of an audio track is generated that includes a directional audio signal having a directionality based on the selected sub-frame.
