  • Publication number: 20240144431
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a computing system may capture a first image of a scene using a first camera of an artificial reality device. The system may capture a second image of the scene using a second camera and one or more optical elements of the artificial reality device. The second image may include an overlapping portion of multiple shifted copies of the scene. The system may generate an upsampled first image by applying a particular sampling technique to the first image. The system may generate a tiled image comprising a plurality of repeated second images by applying a tiling process to the second image. The system may generate an initial output image by processing the upsampled first image and the tiled image using a machine learning model. The system may generate a final output image by normalizing the initial output image using the upsampled first image.

  • Patent number: 11033187
    Abstract: A text-to-Braille service is disclosed herein that includes an imaging module. The imaging module includes multiple cameras arranged to image part of a page of text. Each camera has a different field of view of the page, so each camera images a unique portion of the page. The multiple images can be combined to form a single image upon which optical character recognition is performed. The text of the page can be converted into Braille characters and displayed on a refreshable Braille device.
