    摘要: Various embodiments are generally directed to repeated use of wavelet filters with different directional orientations each time to detect distances to edges in different directions in deriving a disparity map from multiple image bitmaps. A method includes subjecting an image bitmap to a first-order wavelet filter a selected number of times, an orientation of the first-order wavelet filter altered each time to create a first set of intermediate maps; and subjecting the first image bitmap to a second-order wavelet filter the selected number of times, an orientation of the second-order wavelet filter altered each time to create a second set of intermediate maps; the first-order and second-order wavelet filters, as well as their orientations, selected to be mathematically related such that the first-order wavelet filter approximates a sine function and the second-order wavelet filter approximates a related cosine function, both masked by a Gaussian. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Devices, systems and methods employing modular camera arrays are described. A two-dimensional array of cameras may be arranged in a non-rectangular array. A first camera, a second camera, and a third camera in the array may be located approximately equidistant from each other, and/or may be arranged approximately in an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle, a scalene triangle, and/or a right triangle.

    摘要: In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing multi-lens array cameras and mounts. In one embodiment there is a lens mount assembly, having therein a lens mount with a front side and a back side; a lens array mounted to the front side of the lens mount, the lens array having a plurality of optics embedded within lenses mounted to the front side of the lens mount; a plurality of image capture circuits at the back side of the lens mount, the plurality of image capture circuits having a one to one correspondence to the lenses of the lens array mounted to the front side of the lens mount; and a plurality of receiving couplers at the front side of the lens mount, each to receive one of the lenses of the lens array, wherein the receiving couplers mechanically bring the optics of the respective lens mounted thereto into alignment with a corresponding one of the image capture circuits on the back side of the lens mount opposing the mounted lens. The lens mount assembly may be embodied within a camera body assembly such as a hand-held smart phone, a tablet computing device or a stand alone hand held camera. The lens mount assembly may be interchangeable with other lens mount assemblies for a multi-lens array camera. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for adding interactive features to videos to enable users to create new media using a dynamic blend of motion and still imagery. The interactive techniques can include allowing a user to change the starting time of one or more subjects in a given video frame, or only animate/play a portion of a given frame scene. The techniques may include segmenting each frame of a video to identify one or more subjects within each frame, selecting (or receiving selections of) one or more subjects within the given frame scene, tracking the selected subject(s) from frame to frame, and alpha-matting to play/animate only the selected subject(s). In some instances, segmentation, selection, and/or tracking may be improved and/or enhanced using pixel depth information (e.g., using a depth map).

    摘要: Various embodiments are directed to using two or more image sensors in tandem, one configured with a narrower field of view that overlaps a portion of a wider field of view of another. An device includes a first image sensor to capture a first image of a scene with a first field of view, a second image sensor to capture a second image of the scene with a second narrower and substantially overlapping field of view, a processor circuit and a storage storing instructions causing the processor circuit to operate the first image sensor to capture a first image of the scene, and operate the second image sensor substantially in unison with the first image sensor to capture a second image of the scene that overlaps the first image. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.
