Abstract
A method for generating video data using an imaging device is provided. The method includes capturing, by a first sensor of the imaging device, a first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames, capturing, by a second sensor of the imaging device, a second set of sub-sampled color frames, reconstructing one or more high resolution monochrome frames using the first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames, and generating one or more high speed high resolution color frames based on the second set of sub-sampled color frames and the reconstructed one or more high resolution monochrome frames.
Claims20
A method for generating video data using an imaging device, the method comprising:
- capturing, by a first sensor of the imaging device, a first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames;
- capturing, by a second sensor of the imaging device, a second set of sub-sampled color frames;
- reconstructing one or more high resolution monochrome frames using the first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames and a flexible sub-sampled readout (FSR) mechanism;
- and
- generating one or more high speed high resolution color frames based on the second set of sub-sampled color frames and the reconstructed one or more high resolution monochrome frames.
An imaging device for generating video data, the imaging device comprising:
- a first sensor configured to capture a first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames;
- a second sensor configured to capture a second set of sub-sampled color frames;
- and
- a processor coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, the processor being configured to:
- reconstruct one or more high resolution monochrome frames using the first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames and a flexible sub-sampled readout (FSR) mechanism, and
- generate one or more high speed high resolution color frames based on the second set of sub-sampled color frames and the reconstructed one or more high resolution monochrome frames.
A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causing the computing device to:
- capture, with a first sensor, a first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames;
- capture, with a second sensor, a second set of sub-sampled color frames;
- reconstruct one or more high resolution monochrome frames using the first set of sub-sampled monochrome frames and a flexible sub-sampled readout (FSR) mechanism;
- and
- generate one or more high speed high resolution color frames based on the second set of sub-sampled color frames and the reconstructed one or more high resolution monochrome frames.
