    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for an image capturing device having at least two cameras to obtain a focus point of a current scene. The method includes in response to performing a focus procedure via at least one camera of the image capturing device, determining whether a focus point has been found. The method further includes, in response to determining the focus point has not been found: (1) adjusting a number of focus scan steps of an auxiliary focus procedure utilized by only the at least one auxiliary camera and (2) performing the auxiliary focus procedure using the adjusted number of focus scan steps. The method further includes determining whether the focus point has been found, and in response to determining the focus point has been found, automatically synchronizing, to a main lens of the main camera, a current position of the lens of the at least one auxiliary camera.

    摘要: A camera system comprises a lamp configured to emit light, a lamp driver configured to energize the lamp, an image-sensor array configured to acquire image data, a lenslet array, and an image engine. The lenslet array comprises a plurality of lenslets arranged laterally over the image-sensor array and configured to focus the light, reflected from a subject, onto the image-sensor array. The image engine is configured to (a) receive the image data from the image-sensor array, (b) resolve the image data into a plurality of component images, and (c) return an enhanced image based on the plurality of component images, the enhanced image having enhanced spatial resolution relative to any of the component images.

    摘要: An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor that has a plurality of two-dimensionally arrayed pixels, each of the pixels having a first photoelectric conversion portion and a second photoelectric conversion portion, a generation unit that generates a first image signal by connecting, in a pupil divided direction, a first signal obtained by combining signals of the first photoelectric conversion portions, and generate a second image signal, in the pupil divided direction, a second signal obtained by combining signals of the second photoelectric conversion portions. In a case of combing signals of the first photoelectric conversion portions, or combining signals of the second photoelectric conversion portions, the generation unit decreases weighting of a signal of a photoelectric conversion portion in which an effect of crosstalk from a neighboring photoelectric conversion portion is large.
