Patent number: 11910089Abstract: Systems and methods for correcting point of view (POV) aberrations in scanning folded cameras and multi-cameras including such scanning folded cameras. In a Tele folded camera that includes an optical path folding element (OPFE) and an image sensor, the OPFE is tilted in one or two directions to direct the Tele folded camera towards a POV of a scene, a Tele image or a stream of Tele images is captured from the POV, the Tele image having POV aberrations and the POV aberrations are digitally corrected to obtain an aberration-corrected image or stream of images.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Corephotonics Lid.Inventors: Itamar Azoulai, Gal Safra, Anat Werbner, Ela Yehudayi, Paz Ilan, Nadav Geva, Noy Cohen, Gal Shabtay, Ephraim Goldenberg, Ruthy Katz

Publication number: 20230412755Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining a seamless, high resolution, large field of view image comprise capturing a plurality of Tele images in a scene using a scanning Tele camera, each captured Tele image having an associated Tele field of view FOVT, retrieving a R image having a respective R image scene with a field of view greater than FOVT, analyzing the R image for defining an order of scanning positions according to which the folded Tele camera scans a scene to capture the plurality of Tele images, aligning the plurality of Tele images and the R image to obtain aligned Tele images, and composing the aligned Tele images into an output image. The output image may include at least parts of the R image and may be one of a stream of output images.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Paz Ilan, Shai Vaisman, Ruthy Katz, Adi Teitel, Hagai Tzafrir, Gal Shabtay, Oded Gigushinski, Itamar Azoulai
