Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying image distortion (curvature) for viewing distance in post capture. Presentation of imaging content on a content display device may be characterized by a presentation field of view (FOV). Presentation FOV may be configured based on screen dimensions of the display device and distance between the viewer and the screen. Imaging content may be obtained by an activity capture device characterized by a wide capture field of view lens (e.g., fish-eye). Images may be transformed into rectilinear representation for viewing. When viewing images using presentation FOV that may narrower than capture FOV, transformed rectilinear images may appear distorted. A transformation operation may be configured to account for presentation FOV—capture FOV mismatch. In some implementations, the transformation may include fish-eye to rectilinear transformation characterized by a transformation strength that may be configured based on a ratio of the presentation FOV to the capture FOV.

Abstract: A financial institution computing system includes a network circuit exchanging information over a network, a customer database storing financial information for a plurality of users, and a privacy shield circuit. The privacy shield circuit receives, over the network via the network circuit, a privacy shield request from an authorized user of a financial account via a user computing device. The privacy shield circuit generates a user alias for the authorized user of the financial account. The privacy shield circuit associates the user alias with the financial account in the customer database for use in conjunction with a subsequent transaction. Use of the user alias in conjunction with the subsequent transaction includes using the user alias for at least one of an authentication procedure and providing requested information to a merchant. The privacy shield circuit transmits the user alias to the user computing device over the network via the network circuit.

Abstract: An image capture device having multiple image sensors having overlapping fields of view that aligns the image sensors based on images captured by image sensors. A pixel shift is identified between the images. Based on the identified pixel shift, a calibration is applied to one or more of the image sensors. To determine the pixel shift, a processor applies correlation methods including edge matching. Calibrating the image sensors may include adjusting a read window on an image sensor. The pixel shift can also be used to determine a time lag, which can be used to synchronize subsequent image captures.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that capture and process frames of frame data. An image sensor captures frames of frame data representative of light incident upon the image sensor using a rolling shutter and outputs the frames of frame data. The image sensor captures at least one of the frames over a frame capture interval and then waits over a blanking interval before capturing another frame. A buffer receives and stores the frames output by the image sensor. An image signal processor retrieves the frames from the buffer and processes the frames over successive frame processing intervals to generate a video having a time interval per frame greater than the frame capture interval. At least one of the successive frame processing intervals is greater than the frame capture interval and is less than or equal to a sum of the frame capture interval and the blanking interval.

Abstract: Information may be visually encoded within visual content of an image using a distortion projection. The distortion projection may cause stretching of a visual element defined within a pixel array of the image. Information may be visually encoded within the pixel array using visual characteristic(s) of the pixel array. Presentation of the visual content based on a non-distortion projection may reduce a number of pixels that defines the visual element within the pixel array and may reduce visual impact of the information visually encoded within the pixel array.
