Abstract
Aspects relate generally to providing stereo vision by a device, and more particularly, to utilizing dynamic depth by dynamically switching between full and reduced searches to provide stereo vision of an object. A device may include one or more memories configured to store one or more image frames. The device may further include one or more processors coupled to the one or memories, in which, the one or more processors are configured to: determine an object by user direction or by an automatic region of interest (ROI) selection; switch from a full search of a pre-defined search range of pixels, of image frames, of the object to a reduced search of a reduced range of pixels, of image frames, of the object; and based upon the reduced search, provide stereo vision of the object.

A device comprising:
- one or more memories configured to store one or more image frames;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or memories, the one or more processors configured to:
- determine an object by user direction or by an automatic region of interest (ROI) selection;
- switch from a full search of a pre-defined search range of pixels, of stereo image frames, of the object to a reduced search of a reduced range of pixels, of the stereo image frames, of the object;
- and
- based upon the reduced search, provide stereo vision of the object.
A method for providing stereo vision of an object, the method comprising:
- determining an object by user direction or by an automatic region of interest (ROI) selection;
- switching from a full search of a pre-defined search range of pixels, of stereo image frames, of the object to a reduced search of a reduced range of pixels, of the stereo image frames, of the object;
- and
- based upon the reduced search, provide stereo vision of the object.
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
- determine an object by user direction or by an automatic region of interest (ROI) selection;
- switch from a full search of a pre-defined search range of pixels, of stereo image frames, of the object to a reduced search of a reduced range of pixels, of the stereo image frames, of the object;
- and
- based upon the reduced search, provide stereo vision of the object.
