  • Patent number: 12598399
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology may provide time-synchronized image frames from multiple cameras to various system and/or application processes running on an electronic device. In one or more implementations, a frame identifier may be determined for each image frame from each camera based on a system pulse associated with the capture of the image frame. By generating frame identifiers based for images from multiple cameras based on a centralized source such as the system pulses, subsequent processes can immediately identify images from multiple cameras having the same frame identifier for co-processing of those images.
