Abstract
A stereo camera device with tilted fields of view is provided, which includes a pair of camera devices located such that respective fields of view (FOVs) of the pair of camera devices are tilted away from each other, and at least partially overlapping in a common working FOV. The device further includes a processor which receives respective images from each of the pair of camera devices, combines respective portions of the respective images corresponding to the common working FOV into stereo images.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a pair of camera devices located such that respective fields of view (FOVs) of the pair of camera devices are tilted away from each other, and at least partially overlapping in a common working FOV;
- and,
- a processor configured to:
- receive respective images from each of the pair of camera devices;
- and, combine respective portions of the respective images corresponding to the common working FOV into stereo images.
A method comprising:
- at a device comprising a processor and a pair of camera devices located such that respective fields of view (FOVs) of the pair of camera devices are tilted away from each other, and at least partially overlapping in a common working FOV:
- receiving, at the processor, respective images from each of the pair of camera devices;
- and,
- combining, at the processor, respective portions of the respective images corresponding to the common working FOV into stereo images.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program, wherein execution of the computer program is for:
- at a device comprising a processor and a pair of camera devices located such that respective fields of view (FOVs) of the pair of camera devices are tilted away from each other, and at least partially overlapping in a common working FOV:
- receiving, at the processor, respective images from each of the pair of camera devices;
- and,
- combining, at the processor, respective portions of the respective images corresponding to the common working FOV into stereo images.
