Abstract: A stereoscopic image capture device includes a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first frame timer, and a second frame timer. The first and second frame timers are different frame timers. The first image sensor includes a first plurality of rows of pixels. The second image sensor includes a second plurality of rows of pixels. The first and second image sensors can be separate devices or different areas of a sensor region in an integrated circuit. The first frame timer is coupled to the first image sensor to provide image capture timing signals to the first image sensor. The second frame timer coupled to the second image sensor to provide image capture timing signals to the second image sensor.

Abstract: A processing circuitry is configured to generate a first analysis result based on a size of a partial area of a target area when the partial area is captured by only one of a first sensor or a second sensor, based on first image data for the target area captured by the first sensor and second image data for the target area captured by the second sensor, and generate first final image data or second final image data by using the first image data and the second image data, based on the first analysis result. A difference between the first final image data and the second final image data is based on a difference between a first characteristic of the first sensor and a second characteristic of the second sensor.

Abstract: Dual-aperture digital cameras with auto-focus (AF) and related methods for obtaining a focused and, optionally optically stabilized color image of an object or scene. A dual-aperture camera includes a first sub-camera having a first optics bloc and a color image sensor for providing a color image, a second sub-camera having a second optics bloc and a clear image sensor for providing a luminance image, the first and second sub-cameras having substantially the same field of view, an AF mechanism coupled mechanically at least to the first optics bloc, and a camera controller coupled to the AF mechanism and to the two image sensors and configured to control the AF mechanism, to calculate a scaling difference and a sharpness difference between the color and luminance images, the scaling and sharpness differences being due to the AF mechanism, and to process the color and luminance images into a fused color image using the calculated differences.

Abstract: An image detecting device includes a color image sensor configured to sense visible light and to output color image data based on the sensed visible light; a first infrared lighting source configured to provide first infrared rays to a subject; a second infrared lighting source configured to provide second infrared rays to the subject; a mono image sensor configured to sense a first infrared light or a second infrared light reflected from the subject and output infrared image data; and an image signal processor configured to, measure an illuminance value based on the color image data, measure a distance value of the subject based on a portion of the infrared image data corresponding to the first infrared light, and obtain an identification image of the subject based on the illuminance value, the distance value, and a portion of the infrared image data corresponding to the second infrared light.

Abstract: Digital camera systems and methods are described that provide a color digital camera with direct luminance detection. The luminance signals are obtained directly from a broadband image sensor channel without interpolation of RGB data. The chrominance signals are obtained from one or more additional image sensor channels comprising red and/or blue color band detection capability. The red and blue signals are directly combined with the luminance image sensor channel signals. The digital camera generates and outputs an image in YCrCb color space by directly combining outputs of the broadband, red and blue sensors.

Abstract: An image processing method includes: obtaining a first image photographed by each of N color cameras in the M color cameras; obtaining, for each first image, luminance values of at least a part of pixels in the first image; and increasing brightness of a target image by using the obtained luminance values, and using the target image with increased brightness as an image photographed by the under-screen camera assembly, the target image being the first image photographed by one of the N color cameras, where both M and N are integers greater than or equal to 2, and N is less than or equal to M.
