Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for utilizing multiple camera systems including at least three cameras, each camera having at least partly overlapping fields for removing blur in a moving object relative to a static background captured by the multiple camera system, comprising separating and extracting the moving object from the static background by isolating pixels corresponding to the moving object and distinguishing them from the static background by using images captured by the at least three cameras having field of views covering the moving object, enhancing clarity of the separated moving object by deblurring the separated moving, blurring the static background, reintegrating the deblurred separated moving object onto the blurred static background in the position of the images where the separated moving object was extracted.
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for utilizing multiple camera systems for extracting obstructing objects or foreground close to primary camera(s) and filling in the unknown area using pixel information obtained from multiple cameras, i.e. synthesized images where foreground obstructions are removed is provided. This is done by using a primary camera capturing a target scene in the background, obstructed by foreground, and secondary cameras with viewpoints different from the primary camera provide coverage of the scene behind the foreground obstructions. A processing unit will synthesize the image from the primary camera by replacing foreground obstructions with pixels from secondary cameras, or a combination of both to obtain a transparent obstructing object with the background visible through the object. The area to be replaced is identified by calculating depths in the captured area of the primary camera, estimated by comparing images from multiple cameras.
Abstract: The present invention discloses a multiple camera sensor system and a method for any application and for a large number of different fields. The present invention is solving certain problems related to existing camera technology issues by introducing the possibility of getting several different camera inputs from the same source or moving shots/images without physically moving any cameras. It will minimize the physical presence of existing camera technology, size, weight and design and also to large extent avoid physical laws like gravity, vibrations, acceleration, retardation and speed. This may be implemented by means of a software virtually moving camera using multiple cameras sensors mounted consecutively along some attachment solution. This attachment solution may include e.g. tape or strips. The invention can be utilized in areas like industry and production support, medical appliances, AV production, Video Conferencing, Broadcast, Surveillance and Security among others.
