Abstract

A photo filter (e.g., artistic) light field effect system comprises an eyewear device that includes a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, and a depth-capturing camera. Execution of programming by a processor configures the photo filter light field effect system to apply a photo filter selection to: (i) a left raw image or a left processed image to create a left photo filter image, and (ii) a right raw image or a right processed image to create a right photo filter image. The photo filter light field effect system generates, a photo filter light field effect image with an appearance of a spatial rotation or movement, by blending together the left photo filter image and the right photo filter image based on a left image disparity map and a right image disparity map.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An artistic effect system comprising:

an eyewear device including:
a frame;
and
a depth-capturing camera supported by the frame, wherein:
the depth-capturing camera includes at least two visible light cameras with overlapping fields of view, and
the at least two visible light cameras includes a left visible light camera to capture a left raw image and a right visible light camera to capture a right raw image;
an image display for presenting images, including an original image, wherein the original image is based on the left raw image, a left processed image, the right raw image, a right processed image, or combination thereof;
an image display driver coupled to the image display to control the image display to present the original image;
a user input device to receive an artistic effect selection from a user to apply an artistic effect as a photo filter or a photo lens to the presented original image;
a memory;
a processor coupled to the depth-capturing camera, the image display driver, the user input device, and the memory;
and
programming in the memory, wherein execution of the programming by the processor configures the artistic effect system to perform functions, including functions to:
capture, via the depth-capturing camera, the left raw image and the right raw image;
present, via the image display, the original image;
receive, via the user input device, the artistic effect selection from the user to apply to the presented original image;
generate, at least one artistic effect image with an artistic effect scene, by applying the artistic effect selection from the user to:
(i) the left raw image or the left processed image to create a left artistic effect image, (ii) the right raw image or the right processed image to create a right artistic effect image, or (iii) combination thereof;
and
present, via the image display, the artistic effect image.

17 more elements

An artistic effect method comprising steps of:

capturing, via a depth-capturing camera, a left raw image and a right raw image;
presenting, via an image display, an original image, wherein the original image is based on the left raw image, a left processed image, the right raw image, a right processed image, or combination thereof;
receiving, via the user input device, an artistic effect selection from the user to apply to the presented original image;
generating at least one artistic effect image with an artistic effect scene by applying the artistic effect selection from the user to:
(i) the left raw image or the left processed image to create a left photo filter image, (ii) the right raw image or the right processed image to create a right photo filter image, or (iii) combination thereof;
and
presenting, via the image display, the at least one artistic effect image.

4 more elements

A computer readable medium including instructions for configuring an artistic effect system including an eyewear device having a depth-capturing camera, an image display, a user input device, and a processor, the instructions, when executed by the processor configuring the artistic effect system to:

capture, via the depth-capturing camera, a left raw image and a right raw image;
present, via the image display, an original image, wherein the original image is based on the left raw image, a left processed image, the right raw image, a right processed image, or combination thereof;
receive, via the user input device, an artistic effect selection from the user to apply to the presented original image;
generate, at least one artistic effect image with an artistic effect scene, by applying the artistic effect selection from the user to:
(i) the left raw image or the left processed image to create a left artistic effect image, (ii) the right raw image or the right processed image to create a right artistic effect image, or (iii) combination thereof;
and
present, via the image display, the artistic effect image.
