Abstract
A method of controlling parameters for image sensors includes; receiving a first image and a second image, calculating first feature values related to the first image and second feature values related to the second image; generating comparison results by comparing the first feature values of fixed regions and first variable regions of the first image with the second feature values of fixed regions and first variable regions of the second image, and controlling at least one parameter on the basis of the comparison results.
Claims17
A CMOS image sensor (CIS) control module comprising:
- an interface configured to:
- receive a first image generated by a first camera having a first field-of-view and a first focal length, and
- receive a second image generated by a second camera having a second field-of-view and a second focal length;
- a controller configured to extract first feature values from the first image and second feature values from the second image, and to generate a output image different from the first and second images,
- wherein the first feature values comprise first luminance values of the first image, and the second feature values comprise second luminance values of the second image, and
- wherein the first field-of-view is different from the second field-of-view and the first focal length is different from the second focal length.
A CMOS image sensor (CIS) control module comprising:
- an interface configured to:
- receive a first image generated by a first camera having a first field-of-view and a first focal length;
- receive a second image generated by a second camera having a second field-of-view and a second focal length;
- and
- receive a third image generated by a third camera having a third field-of-view and a third focal length;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- extract first feature values from the first image and second feature values from the second image;
- and
- generate an output image different from the first, second, and third images, and
- wherein the first feature values comprise first luminance values of the first image, and the second feature values comprise second luminance values of the second image, and
- wherein the first field-of-view is different from the second field-of-view and the first focal length is different from the second focal length, and
- wherein the third field-of-view is different from the first and second field-of-views and the third focal length is different from the first and second focal lengths.
