Abstract: Described are image and video processing systems and methods for auto re-calibration of stereo camera devices. The auto re-calibration processes described herein transform image data into re-calibration data used to correct calibration errors in real time. The auto re-calibration processes leverage position data shifting, image data filtering, and disparity analysis to generate one or more calibration profiles that track the position of the camera modules included in stereo camera devices. Calibration profiles are then used to generate pixel shift parameters describing how to modify the position of image pixels and or camera modules to improve rectification and projection of 3D images and video frames. Additionally multi-camera systems implementing the auto re-calibration processes are disclosed.

Abstract: An image processing system calibrates multiple cameras of a camera rig system. The image processing system may correct barrel distortion of raw images to generate rectilinear images. The image processing system identifies key points in neighboring rectilinear image pairs captured by adjacent cameras. The image processing system may generate a parameter vector by solving an optimization problem using a gradient descent loop and the key points. The optimization problem reduces a displacement error to align the key points of the rectilinear images by adjusting calibration of the cameras or a transform of the images (which corresponds to camera calibration). The image processing system may jointly rectify, i.e., calibrate, multiple cameras simultaneously.

Abstract: A signaling of at least one characteristic for layers of a multi-layered video signal such as, for example, for each layer the indication of dependent layers to which the respective layer directly relates via inter-layer prediction, or the signaling of the afore-mentioned second inter-dependency syntax structure, is described. A maximum syntax element is signaled within the multi-layered video signal to indicate a maximally used value of an extension layer-ID field of the packets of the multi-layered video signal, the scope of the maximum syntax element being, for example, a predetermined portion of the multi-layered video signal extending, for example, across several portions of the multi-layered video signal. Accordingly, it is feasible for devices such as decoders or network elements receiving the multi-layered video signal to gain, for a relatively large predetermined portion of the multi-layered video signal, knowledge about the actually consumed portion of the possible domain of possible values.
