Abstract: A system captures and combines image data from a plurality of image sensors to generate combined images. A plurality of individual rolling-shutter image sensors comprise a pair of adjacent image sensors. A controller combines image data captured by the plurality of individual rolling-shutter image sensors to generate a combined image, the combined image comprising first pixels captured by a first one of the adjacent image sensors, second pixels captured by a second one of the adjacent image sensors and a first boundary between the first pixels and the second pixels. A first one of the adjacent image sensors is configured to have a first integration and readout scanning direction along a first scanning axis and the second one of the adjacent image sensors is configured to have a second integration and readout scanning direction along the first scanning axis. Both of the first and second integration and readout scanning directions are oriented toward (or away from) the first boundary.

Abstract: A method and system for removing head motion from facial motion capture data. The method includes receiving a set of measured points of a target model, wherein each point is associated with coordinates in a 3D space. The method includes computing an optimal affine transformation function. The computing includes selecting an unprocessed point from the set of measured points. The computing includes selecting two nearby neighboring points of the unprocessed point. The computing includes computing an affine transformation function that minimizes an L2-norm error. The computing includes identifying the optimal affine transformation function from a set of computed affine transformation functions. The method includes displaying an aligned target model and reference model utilizing the optimal affine transformation function. The method includes outputting the optimal affine function to a computer-readable storage medium.
