Abstract
A multi-camera system includes a guide camera, a plurality of detail cameras, and processing logic. The guide camera configured to capture a guide image in a first field of view (FOV). The plurality of detail cameras have narrower field of views (FOVs) than the first FOV of the guide camera. The processing logic is configured to selectively activate one or more of the detail cameras to capture one or more detail images in response to the guide image.
Claims20
A multi-camera system comprising:
- a guide camera configured to capture a guide image in a first field of view (FOV);
- a plurality of detail cameras having narrower field of views (FOVs) than the first FOV of the guide camera, wherein the narrower FOVs of the detail cameras overlap the first FOV of the guide camera;
- and
- processing logic configured to selectively activate one or more of the detail cameras to capture one or more detail images in response to the guide image, wherein the detail images are transmitted to artificial intelligence (AI) processing logic.
1 more element
A head mounted display comprising:
- a display for rendering images to an eyebox region;
- a guide camera configured to capture a guide image in a first field of view (FOV);
- a plurality of detail cameras having narrower field of views (FOVs) than the first FOV of the guide camera, wherein the narrower FOVs of the detail cameras overlap the first FOV of the guide camera;
- processing logic configured to:
- selectively activate one or more of the detail cameras to capture one or more detail images;
- generate a foveated image from the detail images and the guide images, detailed portions of the foveated image having higher resolution than the guide image, wherein the detailed portions of the guide image are generated from the detail images;
- and
- render display images to the display, wherein the display images include at least a portion of the foveated image.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a guide image from a guide camera of a head-mounted device configured to image a first field of view (FOV);
- receiving gaze data by imaging an eyebox region of the head-mounted device;
- receiving an audio recording input from a microphone of the head-mounted device;
- and
- selectively activating one or more detail cameras of the head-mounted device to capture one or more detail images based on the gaze data, the audio recording input, and the guide image, wherein the detail cameras have narrower field of views (FOVs) than the first FOV of the guide camera.
