Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: capturing, using a camera sensor integrated into an information handling device, image data; identifying, using a processor, an offset between a lens operatively coupled to the camera sensor and a central portion of the camera sensor; and correcting, based on the offset, a distortion of the image data. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- capturing, using a front-facing camera sensor integrated into an information handling device, image data, wherein the camera sensor is at least partially covered by a display screen of the information handling device;
- identifying, using a processor, an offset between a lens operatively coupled to the camera sensor and a central portion of the camera sensor, wherein the display screen does not cover the lens;
- and
- correcting, based on the offset, a distortion of the image data.
1 more element
An information handling device, comprising:
- a front-facing camera sensor;
- a lens operatively coupled to the camera sensor;
- a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
- capture image data, wherein the camera sensor is at least partially covered by a display screen of the information handling device;
- identify an offset between the lens and a central portion of the camera sensor wherein the display screen does not cover the lens;
- and
- correct, based on the identifying, a distortion of the image data resulting from the offset.

The information handling device of 17, wherein a top of the display unit terminates at a bottom end of the lens.
A product, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
- code that captures image data at a front-facing camera sensor, wherein the camera sensor is at least partially covered by a display screen of the information handling device;
- code that identifies an offset between a lens operatively coupled to the camera sensor and a central portion of the camera sensor, wherein the display screen does not cover the lens;
- and
- code that corrects, based on the identifying, a distortion of the image data resulting from the offset.
