Abstract
Mobile handheld electronic devices such as smartphones, comprising a Wide camera for capturing Wide images with respective Wide fields of view (FOVW), a Tele camera for capturing Tele images with respective Tele fields of view (FOVT) smaller than FOVW, and a processor configured to stitch a plurality of Wide images into a panorama image with a field of view FOVP>FOVW and to pin a Tele image to a given location within the panorama image to obtain a smart panorama image.
Claims17
A handheld device, comprising:
- a Wide camera for capturing Wide images, each Wide image having a respective Wide field of view (FOVw);
- a scanning Tele camera for capturing Tele images, each Tele image having a respective Tele field of view (FOVT) smaller than FOVw;
- and
- a processor configured to autonomously direct scanning of the FOVT to a specific location within a scene, to stitch a plurality of Wide images with respective FOVw into a panorama image with a field of view FOVp>FOVw and to pin a Tele image to a given location within the panorama image to obtain a smart panorama.

A handheld device, comprising:
- a Wide camera for capturing Wide images, each Wide image having a respective Wide field of view (FOVw);
- a Tele camera for capturing Tele images, each Tele image having a respective Tele field of view (FOVT) smaller than FOVw;
- and
- a processor configured to stitch a plurality of Wide images with respective FOVw into a panorama image with a field of view FOVp>FOVw and to pin a Tele image to a given location within the panorama image to obtain a smart panorama, wherein the pinning of the Tele image to a given location within the panorama image is obtained by executing localization between the panorama image and the Tele image.

A handheld device, comprising:
- a Wide camera for capturing Wide images, each Wide image having a respective Wide field of view (FOVw), wherein the Wide camera is configured to capture Wide images autonomously;
- a Tele camera for capturing Tele images, each Tele image having a respective Tele field of view (FOVT) smaller than FOVw;
- and
- a processor configured to stitch a plurality of Wide images with respective FOVw into a panorama image with a field of view FOVp>FOVw and to pin a Tele image to a given location within the panorama image to obtain a smart panorama wherein the processor is configured to calculate a saliency map based on Wide image data to decide which scene information is captured by the Tele camera and pinned to locations within the panorama image.
