US 2026/0246905 A1 · STEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY BASED ON OUT OF PHASE IMAGE PROCESSING

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a system, method, and computer program product embodiments for capturing and displaying image frames out of phase by, for example, utilizing a single ISP. For instance, the processing and displaying of a first image frame for a first eye and a second image frame for a second eye are performed out of phase. Each image sensor may readout its image at different times. While one image sensor is reading out pixels of a first image frame, the other image sensor exposes a second image frame. The single ISP may process the pixels of the image frame as they are read out by the image sensor. The single ISP may process these pixels as they are received from the image sensor, process the pixels for presentation, and provide the pixels to the corresponding display. The displays display the first and second image frame out of phase.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

storing, in a buffer, lines of pixels of a first image frame exposed by a first image sensor;
providing a processed version of the lines of pixels of the first image frame from the buffer to a first display device at a first time, while one or more lines of pixels of a second image frame are exposed by a second image sensor;
storing the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame in the buffer subsequent to the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame being exposed by the second image sensor;
and
providing a processed version of the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame from the buffer to a second display device that is different from the first display device at a second time subsequent to the first time.

2 more elements

A system, comprising:

a memory to store a buffer;
and
at least one processor to:
store lines of pixels of a first image frame exposed by a first image sensor in the buffer;
provide a processed version of the lines of pixels of the first image frame from the buffer to a first display device at a first time, while one or more lines of pixels of a second image frame are exposed by a second image sensor;
store the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame in the buffer subsequent to the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame being exposed by the second image sensor;
and
provide a processed version of the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame from the buffer to a second display device that is different from the first display device at a second time subsequent to the first time.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

storing, in a buffer, lines of pixels of a first image frame exposed by a first image sensor;
providing a processed version of the lines of pixels of the first image frame from the buffer to a first display device at a first time, while one or more lines of pixels of a second image frame are exposed by a second image sensor;
storing the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame in the buffer subsequent to the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame being exposed by the second image sensor;
and
providing a processed version of the one or more lines of pixels of the second image frame from the buffer to a second display device that is different from the first display device at a second time subsequent to the first time.
