    Abstract: A method includes, in a first mode, positioning first and second tiltable image sensor modules of an image sensor array of an electronic device so that a first optical axis of the first tiltable image sensor module and a second optical axis of the second tiltable image sensor module are substantially perpendicular to a surface of the electronic device, and the first and second tiltable image sensor modules are within a thickness profile of the electronic device. The method also includes, in a second mode, tilting the first and second tiltable image sensor modules so that the first optical axis of the first tiltable image sensor module and the second optical axis of the second tiltable image sensor module are not perpendicular to the surface of the electronic device, and at least part of the first and second tiltable image sensor modules are no longer within the thickness profile of the electronic device.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processing device configured to obtain input frames from a video. The at least one processing device is also configured to generate a forward flow from a first input frame to a second input frame and a backward flow from the second input frame to the first input frame. The at least one processing device is further configured to generate an occlusion map at an interpolated frame coordinate using the forward flow and the backward flow. The at least one processing device is also configured to generate a consistency map at the interpolated frame coordinate using the forward flow and the backward flow. In addition, the at least one processing device is configured to perform blending using the occlusion map and the consistency map to generate an interpolated frame at the interpolated frame coordinate.

    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one processor, first and second input image frames, where the first and second input image frames are associated with first and second image planes, respectively. The method also includes obtaining, using the at least one processor, a depth map associated with the first input image frame. The method further includes producing another version of the depth map by performing one or more times: (a) projecting, using the at least one processor, the first input image frame to the second image plane in order to produce a projected image frame using (i) the depth map and (ii) information identifying a conversion from the first image plane to the second image plane and (b) adjusting, using the at least one processor, at least one of the depth map and the information identifying the conversion from the first image plane to the second image plane.
